I. MILLER Beautiful Shoes 1554 BROADWAY open tmtd 9 P.M. 15 West 42nJ Street 498 Fulton Street Near F^ Avenm Cm. of BondL BiooMyn BOSTON By LEN Libbey Benny Leonard Is the headllner at the local Keith house this week with an act programmed Is a one-act comedy but which actually Is noth- ing more or less than the same type of act that boxers have pulled for many years when they deserted the roped area for a fling at the vaude- viUe game. Leonard's name is de- pended upon for drawing power. It will draw into the house the same- class of patrons that followed Dempsey to the Orpheum recently, smashing the house record there. Whether they follow Leonard is such numbers with the price of the Keith house remains to be seen. It looks more tiian a "drop in" act, although there was a big house at the Monday matinee. The real act on the bill, from a vaudeville standpoint, Is "Dr." Rocit- well. next to closing. Rockwell held his audience easily and got away better than any lone performer in his class that has appeared at the house for many taoona. After finishing his regular routine Rockwell stayed on for the cioaiiig act, Madelyn and Norman Meredith, dancers, and taking a seat on the stage (as the local censor rules pre- vent him from appearing n the boose proper) he dbes one of the best comedy acts of the season while this dancing act is going on. The other high light of the show is the Oeorge Choos dancing act, with "Ledova" and Danny Dare fea- tured. The solo work is done by Ledova and Dare. Rudolph Malinoff and the W^re Sisters are also in eluded. The act Is prettily st.iKod and well executed. Toodles and Totl. ahimal act, opened, followed by Jean gothern^ who does three bits as u male and then swings back Into her own element for a Anale number. While not especially strong as a singer, the girl Is a good Imper- sonator and has chosen some neat numbers. William Brack and Co., five acro- bats, going In strong for risley nnd tranapoUne work, are on after the Scthera turn snd drew a line re- ception through their speedy work. Jack Haley and Helyn Kby Rock, with more nifties than Boston has seen (or some time, did a splendid Job on the house for several min- utes and were strong all the way. The Metropolitan District Com- miesion, after several hearings and despite much opposition, has decided to accept a bid for the use of two lots of land at Revere Beach, owned by the State, and the bidder will be allowed to charge for iwrking of automobiles on the land. Both lots front on the boulevard. It Is the first time such action has been taken at Revere and there was a storm of protest from automoblllsts. SAN FRANCISCO O. M. "Broncho Billy" Anderson hopped on Nan Halperin, Orpheum headllner, during her engagement here for the correction of an old judKment of $950, obtained by him against Miss Halperin in 1920. At that time Anderson claimed he loaned the hcadliner this amount of money when she was working for him In pictures. This is the first time, since the Judgment, that Miss Halperin has come under the Juris- diction of Judge Van Nostrand's court. Police brought William C. (Jack) Ashford, former merchant of Tuder, Sutter county, to headquarters for grilling on a charge of using the malls to defraud. Ashford will probably be turned over to the Fed- eral authorities. Kthol Smith and Mrs. Helen McCain made the com- plaint to the police. They chnrRC that Ashford advertised for younK girls to ucccpt positions In'the film studios of Hollywood and that they bad given him a fee of |10 but the Jobs never materlalisad. A movement has been started by the Nevada Editorial Association to restore and preserve the old print- ing plant of the Territorial Ente— prise, at Virginia City, where Mark Twain first won recognition as a writer. The plant is now stored in a warehouse. Leo CarriUo and Ed Gallagher were Initiated Into the "South of the Slot" Society. This is ihe pet or- ganization of Police Chief Dan O'Brien, and its members are made up of those men who were bom south of Market street.
