THE GRAND
The Smarter Set Co. Riots at This
House
Well, it is here, tlie much heralded
show. "Bamboula.” with the race’s
leading artists, Whitney and Tutt.
It is really a Jazzoman Operetta,
whatever that is, and is full of pep
and jazz throughout. Prof. Lowling,
a musical fanatic, after hearing the
first four bars of Bamboula. an an
cient African melody, not knowing
from whence the melody originated,
conceived the idea of tracing its
origin in order to prove that the
Africans, as other people, have con
tributed to music of the world It is
indeed very interesting and the musi
cal numbers are excellent. Whitney
and Tutt have staged a real produc
tion and success should be the re
ward for their bringing to the public
such stupendous production. A re
view in detail will be made in the
next issue. The show will remain
four weeks.

BILLY KING
CREIGHTON THOMPSON
NOW STARRING IN
LONDON
Advices to the theatrical world cora
I mg from Europe mention Creighton
! Thompson, brother to DcKoven Thomp
son, well known
composer of this
city, as the fore
most A meric an
baritone in Europe
} at the present time.
, Creighton Thomp
t son. who is Chi
! cago’s own bari
tone. is at present
engaged on a six
months contract at
' ,jjrR\ the Coliseum, 1-on
don’s largest vau
deville theater, and has just completed
a six months contract at the Apollo The
ater. Paris, where he took the French
capital hy storm.
When Creighton completes his present
contract at the Coliseum he will tour
Europe for forty weeks, singing in the
principal theaters of the continent.
Sang for Pathe and Victor—
Mr. Thompson has sung a number of
songs for the Pathe Record Co., and for
"His Master’s Voice," the English Vic
tor Co., and holds the unique distinc
tion of being the only colored man who
has ever sung classic music for a stand
ard reproducing company. He repro
duced his brother's song, “Some Day
Will Never Come," for Victor.
Creighton Thompson, hy virtue of his
triumphs in Europe, and his entry into
the field of high-class reproducing com
panies, is being acclaimed by American
and European critics as the foremost
Negro baritone of the world.
“SEVEN KEYS TO
BALDPATE"
The attraction for Thanksgiving
week at the Avenue will be “Seven
Keys to Baldpate,” George M.
Cohan’s dramatization of Karl Derr
Biggcr’s novel of the same name.
That alone i> enough to assure its
success, for it's a rare combination,
and one that is certain to prove an
interesting bill for the followers of
the Lafayette Players.
The story of the play centers about
a young novelist, William Hallowell
Magee, who is attempting to complete
a novel within twenty-four hours on
a wager, and his hair-raising expe
riences at Baldpate Inn, which he has
chosen as the spot for his labors.
Baldpate Inn is situated atop a lofty
mountain, and at the time of our
story, the dead of winter, is inhabited
only by a caretaker and his wife.
Magee i> supposed to possess the only
land original key to Baldpate—but
after be arrives there and starts in
on his story six other keys make their
appearance and divers individuals
intrude upon his privacy, with a
series of startling results.
Just as the audience believes it is
all nicely figured out and the mystery
solved, they find that their solution
is all wrong, for the events which have
been transpiring upon the stage have
been hut scenes from the novelist’s
story and Peter, tlie Hermit and the
rest of the crowd hut characters come
to life. It’s a rattling good hill, and
one that will prove a real thriller.
There will he a special Thanksgiving
day matinee at 2:30 P. M.
