nere the first to awaken any enhusiastic
reception, their handsaw
nusic and eccentric sons and dance
peclalty getting over for a solid
lit. The burlesque acrobatics of
"Villlns and Hart have always registered
strongly and last night wax
no exception. An educated parrot,
well trained and behaved, assisted
materially In the comedy portion.

to the enjoyment. The comedy
>f Savoy and Brennan fell far short
of the mark chiefly because of
cearseness and brasen vulgarity
and is one featured portion of the
Follies which would be Improved
by deodorising!
In the matter of garish display
fnr both settings and costumes, the
producers. have striven with more
than average success. The dressing
nf the ensemble In many of the numbers
is blxarre and beautiful and the
girl, who have been delegated to
fill them have bejn selected by a
judge of feminine ' beauty who can
vie with Zlegfeld in the matter of
results. A real artistic* novelty is
the episode with the Bends mask
msde the more effective by the skillful
Interpretative dancing of Virginia
Bell.
For those who enjoy lancing the
1920 Follies provide more than a
pleasant evening. Ix>uis Berkoff and
sister earned the top honors of terpslchore
with a Russian character
dance in an exquisite setting, although
James Clemmons was close
runner-up In some strenuous moments
of eccentric stepping. Mildred
Mann. Olga SSIeeva and Harriet
Gimbel also proved acceptable at opportune
moments. Julia Silvers furnishes
the most ambitious vocal efforts,
revealing a well-trained voice.
The music of A. Baldwin Isloane is
ever tuneful, though perhapB the
number which will be most recalled
by whistlers is the Bud DeSylva effort,
"8nap Your Fingers at Care."
This is the first revue <rfferlng of
the new theatrical season and it sets
a standard of entertainment thoroughly
satisfying to those who prefer
the girl and music type of
amusement.
STRAND.
"A Circu Spectacle."
Holland, Dockrill and Company,
bareback and trick riders, present
"A Circus Spectacle" as the headline
feature of the first half of this
week's bill. It was a question as to
which won the greater approval,
the human or dumb actor? of the
troup, the latter consisting of four
snow-white horses.
The Musical Rowellys opened the
bill with a restaurant scene. Bar
fittings, .eating utensils, even the
palm decorations were all playable.
Dougal and Leary followed in a series
of song sketches. Joe and
Clara Nathan started slowly, but
once under way won approval, the
rapid-ftre cartoon drawing of Nathan
being unusually pleasing. Jim
Reynolds, who followed, bills himself
as "a loose leaf from the
ledger of laughs."
The picture portion of the bill
presents Alice Brady, in "Little
Italy." Her role is that of an intense
Italian girl, Rosa, living in
an Italian colony in America, and
trying loyally to keep up the family
feud, although she loves a man
of the rival faction. %
Norman Kerry is the attractive
hero, Antonio, scion of the house
which the girl's father hates. Otheri
include George Fawcett, Luis Alberni.
Jack Ridgway. Gertrude Norman
and Marguerite Forrest*
Short film features, including
both comedy and educational subjects.
and special orchestral numbers
arranged by Arthur J. Manveil,
including as overture "Main
Street," by Klickman. and as exit
march, Goldberg's "Old Fashioned
Girl," complete the bill.
GAYETY.
~Sa? Howe's New It,*."
Sam Howe has evidently studied
the desires of burlesque patrons
when it comes to staging a production,
for In his "New Show," which
opened a week's engagement at the
Crayety yesterday, he Includes everything
that a follower of the popular
wisnes to see-?from
girls, flash costumes and snappy
music to comedians extraordinary
ard practically all new comedy situations.
Mr. Howe, or whoever is responsible
for the show, certainly used
good judgment when they signed
Cliff Uragdon as chief comic and
Harry Letf as Biagdon's able assistant.
Bragdon, with his peculiar
make-up, his comical gigaie and
ability to take falls?and plenty of
them?without injury to himself,
proved to b? the hit of the show.
Bragdon's work does not .become
til. some and he kept hi, auditors
In laughter during his entire appearance
on the stage.
Harry Left is a spry little Hebrew
comedian, full of pep and always
succeeds in setting the most possible
out of, his lines. Harold F.
Clark and Flank -Mallahan are the
two remaining male principals and
they, too. assisted Bragdon In working
up the several ooraedy situations.
Helen TSrr, the stately prima
dona, is back again and her work
found favor. Norma Berry aside
from taking part In the dialogue,
sang several song numbers that
brought her back for repeated encores.
.Loretta Ahearn is the dashnlg
aoubrette and her work brought
favorable comment.
The action of the production is
fast anrf not once does the dialogue
become tiresome. The chorus twenty
In number, nimbly danced their
numbers and never showed signs of
fatigue at any time.
All-in-all, the Howe show is
worthy of attention and the two
hours It takes to vie w|t are well
spent. H. K.
CHESAPEAKE BEACH.
'Hundreds visited Chesapeake
Beach, the bay resort, yesterday, to
take advantage of the excellent

Sixteen motorboats took the excutoltmfsts

Chief supplementary feature of

is "It's Tour Move." The
Pathe News and new grist of the
Literary Digest's '"Topics of the j

Asiae Lather la "Nesrteeted Wives."
In a beautiful country estate,
surrounded with every comfort and
luxury, lived a couple who had
everything?except happiness. Phillip
Pemfeerton was a typical
American business man whoee and
was Wall Street. His wife. Dorothy,
was also typical. Her Ood was her
home, her love of her huaband and
her love of her child. That her
husband was to_ba the next governor
of the State brouaht slight
comfort to the lonesome and neglected
woman. All around her she
saw happy, united families. But
between her and ber husband grew
day by day a great wall of Indifference
and misunderstanding.
After months of this heart
famine, a "thoughtful" and "sympathetic"
friend came Into her life.
James Wadsworth was introduced
to Mrs. Pemberton by the baroness.

the production at that playhouse

nave been more than borne out by I
the fact that the same production.

ond week of an engagement which fl
has bean clearly prolonged V
through Its brilliant and unusual ?

no diminution in the Intense de i
mand for seats when the produc- T
tlon opened at LoeWs Columbia ' ,
yesterday afternoon, where It will !
continue as the featured attraction j '
throughout the current week. ' I |
"That. Affairs of Anatol" Is bssed ' | '
on a scenario by Jeanle MacPher- I

on the original Hchnltsler manu J ?
