‘Elevator Mirrors
Slow Up Service
in Big Buildings
Praetice of Looking at One's
Self May Lead to Discard
ing Reflectors.
The cargo put out of action caused
by a flivver that declines to be cranked
when the traffic cop is beautifying the ,
atmosphere with such choice epigrams of
the English language that the telegraph
company would refuse to transmit the
communications, is a small town inci
dent In comparison to the congestion of
traffic produced by the individual who
Insists upon parking In front of the
elevator mirror during the rush hour
In the gray dawn.
But speaking of elevator mirrors the
moet prevalent etyles consist of those
which are clean and those which are not.
There are also mirrors which reflect
one’s Image in a flattering fashion, and
those which reflect It In a longitudinal
manner, making the fat woman appear
gracefully slim. Then, there are mir
rors which are too small and those which
are too worn out to have any relation
ship with aelf-reepectlng mirrors. Mir
ror styles also Include those which are
placed In a desirable position at the en
trance of the elevator and those which
are tucked away where nobody would
ever think of looking.
SIGN FAILS TO
STOP PRACTICE.
This particular elevator mirror was
placarded with a modest sign on whies
Ifnky black letters suggested to the pss
seDger: “Keep away from the mirror.
Step to the rear of the car." The first
customer ambled in, halted abruptly be
fore the mirror and removed his hat.
Evidently he had forgotten the cere
mony of combing his hair; for he ex
tracted a pocket comb from the interior
of his costume. About this time more
passengers arrived oa the scene, but the
toilet was continued until the elevator
man’s attention was' attracted by the
supplicating glances of the late comers.
"Heb, move, can’t you ?” he demanded
belligerently. T|e~>nvDer of the comb

hat at a more tilty tilt and called “Three

“Three,” grunted the elevator man.
“next stop is mine. Take the elevator
on the other side down.”
“Back a while when folks just began

SANTOS AND HAYES REVUE IS THE FOLLIES
Os Vaudeville— ‘Charm School ’ Charms—Marcus Show at English's
Buster Santos has taken her enormous
weight hnd Jncques Hayes has taken her
lack of weight and her double voice and
have placed these qualities in The Santos
and Hayes Revue.
This revue has been in existence for
about five weeks, maybe not that long,
but it Is safe to say that it is one of the
most enjoyable revues aver presented at
Keith's.
Misses Pantos and Jacques are not the
whole show, as they have the assistance
of Will Higgle and Bobbie Tremaine,
two splendid dancers, and Paul Marshall,
who can dance very well.
The revue starts in the office of Dr.
"Fix-’em-up.” who makes over theatrical
acts that fall. Into this office comes a
dramatic woman, a Pveneb soubrette, an
opera star, a sister team, a wire walker
and Ilayes and Pantos. This gives Pantos
and Hayes a chance to do their well
known Bnster Brown offering, and It Is
again the grpat scream which it was in
p.'st seasons
The doctor makes them over and Miss
HayeS and Miss Santos appears in some
henutlful gowns and do a splendid musi
cal act. Then the other members are
brought in to do some splendid dancing
numbers. Will Higgle hrld up fHe show
with a Russian Whirl dance.
Miss Santos, who admits she is fat and
it is all real, breaks down a doorway
in getting *ntn the stage. This is good
for a big howl from the audience and
gets the act off to a big finish.
Opinion—Here Is the biggest thing In
the revue line on the vaudeville stage.
The Santos and Haye.s revue is the Win-,,
ter Garden and the Follies of the two
a-day.
The remainder of the hill is splendid
and consists of Bert Kenney and I. R-
Nobody, a wonderful hit: Lynch and
7-ellar in a hat throwing act: Jack Rolls
and Ruby Royce iu a knockout dancing
act. they' held up the show: Howard's
trained dogs and ponies; Marie Dorn m
impersonations and Lucas and luez in a
good acrobatic offering.
At Keith’s all week. —W. D. H.

MARCIS SHOW
NOW AT KNGLISH’S.
The Marcus Show of 1920, which was
press ngented itke a circus, landed on
the stage of English’s last night before
an enormous audience. It seems the
word got around that the things
“Aphrodite” did not remove would “come
off” in the Marcus show. The mayor,
many police women and others were
seen in the theater, a* well as many
county officers. Nothing -‘came off”
which caused the dear law enforcing
agents to protest against.
This Marcua show is the western idea
of a revue and is not

numerous chorus, who
wear some pretty
gowns, but the show

“THE CIIARM SCHOOL”
NOW AT THE MURAT.
A play that ha* all the laughs of n
comedy, all the thrills of a love story,
and almost has the charm of a musical
comedy is “’the Charm School," which
is being played *t the Murat all this
week after a successful jun In New York.
The comedy is not forced, but Is natural,
and human. There is a delightful part
of the cast composed of young ladles,
students at the “Charm School.”
In the east, which is the original New
York one, is Malcom Duncan In the lend
ing role, as the superintendent of the
school. Duncan supplies all the cbarac
acters necessary to fulfill the require
ments of this exacting part. The part
of Elite Benldottl, who Is the president
of the senior class of the school, and the
ardent admirer of the superintendent, is
taken by Mias Miriam Sears, who is as
charming and capable as the moat exact
ing audience could Wish. These two are
supported by a capable and excellent
cast. Neil Martin, who plays the part
of Jim Simpkins, the dancing instructor,
will lie recognized as a former member
of the Stuart Walker Company hero. He
supplies much of the comedy.
Tho play aa a whole ia as charming
as ihe name suggests, and is interesting,
full of novel situations. With the addi
tion of a little music In some of the
scenes, especially in the first part of the
second act, and making the play more
of a musical comedy, many more of the
possibilities of the production could be
realized.
William lienox, as David MacKepzie;
Philip Leigh, as George Boyd, the suc
cessful suitor of Bliss: Albert llackett.
ns Tim Simpkins: Rapley Holmes, as
H'dnier Johns, KlU' , 's guardian; Miss
T'!l!*o Scott, as th*> stern Miss Hays, and
Miss MlnO'.e Dupree n* the tikuble Miss
I Curtis, were excellent members of the
| east. Miss Dupree has a part In which
she fits especially well, and is one of the
mainstays of the production.
The frivolous Sully, played by Miss
Ruth Hatnmond, also was an indispenai

AT THE PARK.
“Here and There,” a musical play in
two acta, featuring Fred Binder, is the
attraction at the Park, this week. The
book and lyrics are the work of Binder,
and the show consists mostly of him,
some assistant comedians, and, of course,
the chorus.
Binder brought forth many laughs,
and with Billy Kelly and Billy Walsh
kept up a fast run of humor. Miss lie
Palmer, singing “Dixie Jazz Band,” and
Miss Lucia Arnold, “Dardanella Blues.”
and Miss Mable White in “Oh, By Jingo,”
made the biggest hits in the musical
.mrt of the program.
Lew Howard has a scene all to him
self and fills it with songs and crayon
drawings that were -well received.
The first, scene is in front of the Bel
mont Ladies’ Club, the next in Turkey,
in a slave market. ,Tho second act is
located in the “Cabaret <le Sbampane.”
Binder Is p Jew, Issey Cohen, In the
first, act, and a waiter, Abe Morris, in
the second.
There are some new songs in the play
end Binder has given himself a big part
in the cast. He was well received, as
wore most of the song numbers.
Will be shown at the Park al! week.
