VAUDEVILLE OF
UNDISPUTED MERIT
Lyric Offers Anna Held’s Daughter,
Seminary Scandal and Five
t Other Big Acts
Vaudeville that surpasses anything
else ever seen at the Lyric theatre is
offered this week, commencing with
the matinee Monday afternoon. Four
of the seven acts promise to be the
greatest hits of the season and this
is especially true of Liane Carra, the
daughter of Anna Held, whose re
semblance in every way to her noted
mother is great. She has the same
charming stage personality, the same
winsome ways, the same talent and
the same ability to please an audience.
In fact, she has made a place for her
self that promises to equal that of
her mother. She will appear in a
melange of music written especially
for her by Irving Berlin, and which
includes a .number of melodies never
heard before. She is assisted by Tyler
Brooke and a bevy of American beauty
girls.
Offering a bunch of special songs
which are as new as the government
currency Just issued, a real story, com
edy as clean as it can bo and a crowd
of new laughs, "A Seminary Scandal”
will be offered at the Lyric this week
as the extra added attraction. Miss
Tommy Allen and Walter Ware head
a group of seven people who appear
in the act. It is a second big spe
cialty.
Tramp comedians come and tramp
comedians go, but Joe Jackson seems
never able to leave the stage once he
gets there. With a bicycle that seems |
scarcely able to stay together, he con
tributes a highly artistic and humorous
bit of pantomime. He is known as
the Eurppean vagabond, and excels as
a pantomimist. James Diamond and
Sibyl Bronnen in "Nlftynonaense,” are
proving to be one of vaudeville’s riots
this season. Miss Brennen is remem
bered here a sthe star of "In Panama," I
in which Rogers brothers appeared, 1
and is a great favorite, in the city. She
1ms voice, personality, cleverness and
ability. Mr. Diamond is a comedian
of attainments and was until recently
the partne.r of Miss Clara Nelson. The
two make a great team. Fred Sosman’s
performance is a carefully assembled
assortment of Mr. Webster’s telling
words punctuated with laughter and
at this game he Is assisted by George
Fairman at the piano. It is a ;iano
logue, with every "logue" a laugh.
Jack George, a blackface comedian,
will also contribute to the week’s
laughs with good monologue and some
parodies and songs. The novelty Clin
tons, termed the human grasshoppers,
are extraordinary jumpers with a clas3
of jumping exhibition that Is new.
Among the stunts they do are Jumping
apples in two with a knife blade;
snuffing candles without bending the
wicks; jumping on and off a sheet of
paper without creating a riple on the
water and sensational kicking.
The Pathe weekly news service will
complete the bill with war pictures.
Coining Attractions
A pleasing performance of "When Old
New York Was Dutch" Is promised at
the Jefferson this month by A1 H. Wilson,
the German dialect comedian, and his
company of players.
The scenes of the play are laid in 16B4,
when the Dutch village of New Amster
dam was under English rule for the first
time. The plot deals historically with a
conspiracy to assassinate the English gov
ernor and restore the village to the rule
of Holland. .Sprinkled In the story with
emotional situations of dramatic Intensity
Is mirth and melody In large quantities.
There Is plenty of color In scene effects
and In the gorgeous costumes of the Eng
lish soldiers and the quaint and antique
costumes of the Dutli. "When I First Met
You," "Moon, Moon, Moon," “When the
Roses In the Spring Bloom Again," and
“Mr. Bear,” are the new songs composed,
by Mr. Wilson for this production.
In making “The Legend of Leonora"
her piece de resistance this season, Maude
Adams Is merely complying with popular
demand. The work was glvtn In New
York early last winter and ran until the
close of the spring season. Miss Adams'
appearances In Birmingham are always
Interesting and are made events of Im
portance by her admirers. There was ad
ditional reason for Interest In the presen
tation of “The Legend of Leonora," owing
to Its being the first long work from the
Barrl epen since "What Eevery Woman
Knows." The success of the work In New
York made It the necessary vehicle for
Miss Adams' road tour. With his cus
tomary skill Barrie in his new play has
given to Miss Adams to portray another
one of those charming heroines, this time
a woman of many charms, many vaga
ries and many contradictions, but ons
who Is Indisputably human. Miss Adams
will be seen here this month.
George M. Cohan’s “Seven Keys to
Baldpate” will be acted at the Jefferson
soon by Cyril Scott. The play, which va
ries between farce and comedy, met with
Instantanconsu success in New York and
Chicago, where It had an uninterrupted
run of 10 months last season. Mr. Cohan
calls his unique work a mystery farce,
the adjective applying to a succession of
strange and highly mysterious events that
transpire In an old Inn on top of a moun
tain during a terrible winter's night.
When you are told that Baldpate Is ths
name of the mountain Inn, and that the
old caretaker of the place hands the
hero “the only key to Baldpate,” you
may get a remote notion that the other
■lx keys are going to turn up In quits
a mysterious way.
A decade ago Barlow, Wilson. Primrose
and West's minstrels held a place In the
affections of theatregoers that has never
■
I
been equaled by any other organization
of this character. Their names and fames
are remembered by thousands of amuse
ment lovers throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
The announcement of George Primrose
(he of the velvet feet) and George
(“Waltze Me Again”) Wilson, of the fa
mous quartet of minstrels—Barlow’, Wil
son, Primrose and West, will appear as
co-stars at the Jefferson soon will be
received with joy by many throughout the
city. Primrose and Wilson have surround
ed themselves with a company of 50 sing-,
ers, dancers, instrumentalists and come
dians. The scenic production is said to
be the most elaborate ever seen with a
minstrel Show.
“Abe” Potash, “Mawruss” Perlmutter,
their designers, cutters, salesmen office
help and even their friends an^ their
rivals, so long known to the public
through the medium of Montague Glass’
famous stories, will come to the Jeffer
son next month and it is rafe to say that
their show rooms will be^crowded to the
door as long as they remain.
The following is a brief description
of “Neptune’s Garden of Living Stat
ues,” the largest and most costly vau
deville act on the stage, which will be
next week’s feature at the Lyric:
Everyone has read of Neptune, the
mythological ruler of the seas, and his
mysterious realm beneath the deep. It
remained for the vaudeville producers
to unravel these wonders of King Nep
tune's domain and present them upon
the stage. By means of a most remark
able and unique water Illusion, devised
by Robert G. Larson, performers may
dive into a huge pool of water and
disappear from sight, remaining for
any length of time, and reappearing at
will, exactly after the fashion of the
fables of the deep. This startling wa
ter effect forms the piece de resistance
of a mammoth aquatic spectacle called
“Neptune’s Garden of Living Statues."
A huge tank nine feet deep containing
over 18,000 gallons of water, is re
quired beneath the stage.
The other acts on the bill for that
week will be Burr and Hope in an
artistic love episode, "The Lady, the
Lover and the Lamp;" Bill McDermott,
the last survivor of Coxey’s army;
Lilliam Herlien, the stunning prima
donna in a gorgeous singing novelty;
Roach and McCurdy, the famous "HI
Roller," and Town Constable of "Way
Down East” in a “Touch of Nature,"
_- —__
and Daintee La Crgrfulall, the girl on
the wire.
In the latest vehicle, "The Smart
Set" company, underlined to curry fa
vor at the Jefferson on Friday, Decem
ber 11, matltiee and night, and oan ring
the title of "His Excellency the Pres
ident,” Salem Tutt Whitney, one of the
best known negro comedians, will have
'a part different from any he has in
terpreted in recent years. He will ap
pear as a seeker after political honors,
a darky who has numerous mishaps
and adventures that are productive of
much fun. It is in three acts and punc
tuated here an<L there with lilting:, me
lodious ensembles and song hits cal
culated to find ready response with
folks who like catchy music and in
fectious tunes. The action is said to
be spirited and during the course of
the play numerous specialties and fea
tures will be introduced. A special pro
duction is promised and in the cast are,
besides Whitney and 40 other artists, i
will be Homer Tutt a and Blanche j
Thompson. The entire house will be
reserved for colored people.
