AMUSEMENTS
KEITH'S—KiIIy 15. Vail.
Billy B. Y;m, one of the funniest
Comedians that ever faced the foot
lights, burlesqued around the B. F.
Keith’s Theater stage last night until
the audience almost went into hys
terics. Billy's clowning, however, is
merely one of the features of an ab
breviated musical revue that the
comedian and his company stage with
the assistance of a major portion of
the other artists on the current bill.
‘‘Hello Central," a screamingly
comical sketch, written especially for
Billy and his partner, George Be
Maire, serves as an introduction to
the musical revue, which lacks only
the glittering scenic 'effects to take
rank with some of the liest musical
shows presented in Washington this
season. But the essence of entertain
ment is there and that's all the Keith
audience seemed to desire. Billy’s
own company includes the Wood sis
ters. Jean Holt, the Trado Twins and
Frances Holliday, and for the musical
revue he draws on the talents of
many of his other colleagues on the
bill.
An artistically conceived song and
dance revue by Ernest Evans and a
large company of attractive women
would have competed for headline
honors if Billy Van had not been on
the same bill. Evans, himself a pop
ular American dance star, calls
offering “Ripples of 1925.” It
starts with a revival of the once-pop
ul.tr "Merry Widow” waltz, and winds
tip in Van's revue with the fast-mov
ing and popular “Charleston" of today.
Ed Healv and Allan Cross, a pair
of songbirds, were given a warm re
ception in their offering, “The Smart
est Styles in Songs.” A burlesque on
a g< If game is their best stunt.
"Chic Risibilities,” a combination
song and comedy skit, won protracted
applause for Jack Haley and Helen
Kby Rock, while Will M. Cressv and
Blanche Dayne met with equal suc
cess in a scene from the former’s
novel, "The Hills of Netv Hampshire,”
in which Mr. Cressy admirably por
trays the role of a philosophical New
England lawyer who admits he
doesn't know 520 worth of Jaw.
Paul lteinos and his trio of Lilli
putians open the bill with clever gym
nastics. Bessie Wynn, billed as the
“Lady Dainty With the Velvet Voice"
>• in the deuce spot. She has a color
ful revue of lilting and character
songs. AilJof the regular subsidiary
film attractions, save Aesop's Fables,
have been eliminated because of the
length of the show. And what a show
It is!
EARLE—Leviathan Orchestra.
The management of the Earle Thea
ter has been offering some good pro
grames recently and this week’s lay
out is one of the best. That splendid
musical organization, the U. S. S.
Leviathan Orchestra, heading the bill,
bad a reception last night that was. if
anything, heartier than when it first
played in this city two years ago.
Kelson Maple has the orchestra in
charge and his leadership is distinctly
noticeable in the artistic precision
with which every member performs
bts work. There is a total absence
of the obnoxious "funny” man, every
player doing his best in a harmonious
whole. Emmett O’Mara is still with
the orchestra and strengthens the of
fering with two songs, his high tenor
notes winning enthusiastic applause.
The scenery is unique, showing the
deck of the big vessel as it leaves
the dock and the passing of the
nearby shores. The beauty of the
production borders on the wonderful.
Many curtain calls followed the clos
ing number.
Frank Le Dent opens the show witn
a good juggling act. which is followed
by the Rialto Quartet, which was
well reecived in harmonizing melodies.
Cleveland and Donrey offer a sidewalk
conversation that bristles with new
patter and jokes, the audience ap

STRAND—-“A Study in Youth.”
In a diversified bill this week at
the Strand Theater Lester Lane and
Elsie Travers Revue presents a lively
entertainment of song and dance spe
cialties. Five pretty girls in hand
some costumes, headed by Lane, stage
“A Study in Youth” as the headliner
of the bill.
Joe McGrath and Jack Deeds, “Ar
tistic Designers of Comedy and Songs,”
offer burlesque songs and chatter that
bring giggles and much applause from
large audiences. Rasso and company,
in “A Juggling Novelty.” have clever
new stuff, European . juggling with
[ telephones, phonograph records, ex
tra large table cutlery, golf sticks
and loudspeakers all turned to good
use throughout the theater.
Others inciude “Wives vs. Stenog

wins an exciting dispute, and the
“stenog” and hubby give clever steps
as part of their entertainment; Don
ald Tomkin and Ruth Love, in “Fresh

Massage this sweetly fragrant

Famous stage beauties use it to bring

three other clubs for the Plii Delta
Gamma cup.
The story of the play is typically
musical comedy concerning a poor
working girl and a rich Prince Charm
ing whoso mother objects. How
ever, in this case, a rich uncle turns
out to he the fairy godmother and
pa\ps the way for a happy ending
by discovering Cinderella to be the
niece of his sweetheart of long ago.
The comedy element is supplied by
two Irish servants who attempt to
tix an imaginary theft upon Cinder
ella.
The musical score, by R. M. Stutts,
was generally good the outstanding
number being "Make Believe," which
was sung by the ensemble. Seyeral
solos marked by clarity and sweet
ness of voice were sung by the little
| leading lady. Gene Harbort. Deserving
i of mention also are Maxine Do Syl
via. Annabelle Floyd, Vincent Stutts
and Ruth Hutchinson and especially
Helen Boyd, Edward Everett and
Pearl Wetmore for their comedy con
tributions.
METROPOLITAN'—“DecIasse.”
The more one sees of Oorinne Grif
fith in the-pictures the more one is
convinced she is entitled to a rank
ing very near the top of the recog
nized American film stars. In former
pictures Miss Griffith has been ad
mirable; in “Declasse.” her latest ve
hicle, presented at Crandall’s Metro
politan this week, she is superb.
The film version of the stage play
is a somewhat different "Declasse” to
that in which Ethel Barrymore ap
peared, hut the principal role requires
the same delicate and intelligent con
sideration demanded on the stage.
Miss Griffith has the role of Lady
Helen Haden and is brilliantly sup
ported by a cast, Including Lloyd
Hughes, Roekcliffe Fellows and Clive
Brook.
"Declasse” Is a story of a beautiful
woman, who through an unfortunate
scandal is deposed from a high social
plane to one where she is about to
forget a tradition of her noble family
that puts death before dishonor. Lady
Haden, last of an aristocratic Eng
lish line, wife of a drunkard, finds
her romantic ideal In a penniless
American. Circumstances lead the
husband to believe his wife has been
unfaithful and she is driven from her
London home to make her way as
she can.
Always in the offing has been a
wealthy American willing to give
Lady Haden everything except his
name, and he continues to force, his
attentions upon her in New York,
where she Is residing after a divorce.
All her jewels pawned. Lady Haden
is about to succumb, when the man of

COLUMBIA—“A Kiss in the Dark."
“A Kiss in the Dark,” based upon
Cyril Maude’s stage success "Aren’t
We AIL” with a cast headed by
Adolphe Menjou, supported by Aileen
Pringle and Lillian Rich, Is the fea
ture at Loew’s Columbia Theater
this week.
It is the story of an American
planter in Cuba, played by Mr. Men
j jou, whose great failings are his pop
! ularity with women and his suscep
tibility to feminine charms. His vir
| tue is that he invariably returns to
! the one and only woman who finally
consents to marry him on the condi
tion that he will put behind him all
and particularly one of his fair
temptresses. But that one little
temptress is not easily dismissed.
She contrives to miss the vessel on
which she, friend husband and the
girl friend are returning to the
United States, thereby securing for
herself a short but sweet sojourn In
Cuba. Her ultimate return to New
York brings a climax of domestic
trouble, from which the young plant
er cleverly manages an escape and
a reconciliation with his one and
only, who, of course, is Aileen
Pringle. It is enjoyable comedy
throughout.
j Adolphe Menjou is In his element
jas the planter and Aileen Pringle
sustains the role of his generous
fiancee with grace and dignity, while
the erring wife and the jealous hus
band are well impersonated by Lil

respectively. Ann Pennington also
honors the picture with a dance or
two of her own pecular type. An

RlALTO—“Friendly Enemies.”
Fans old and young wended their
way to the Rialto yesterday to greet
Lew Fields and Joe AVeber, vener
able comedians for half a century,
in their first screen appearance.
And they weren’t disappointed.
“Friendly Enemies” is well adapted
to the needs of the old side partners
and their familiar buffeting, bandying
and scrapping that lias made their
career famous, for though they are
the dearest of friends, sharing ups
and downs, tlie heights and depths
together, they are always quarreling,
constantly disagreeing.
The picture was taken from the
plav by Samuel Shipman anil Aaron
Hoffman, and George Melford, in the
direction, has added the little homely
touches. The action is laid in New
York City and the time Is somewhere
in the stirring days of the World
AVar. The “friendly enemies” are
two old fellows from the Fatherland,
who, having lived in “the land of
the free” since boyhood, find them
