WEBER AND FIELDS WIN
LAUGHS AT KEITH'S
German Comedy Stars Return
to Vaudeville and Score
as of Yore
U seems thnt ever slnco German com
edians were Invented wo have had Weber
nnd Fields. They blazed tho trail for
tho short, fat Teuton and his long lean
brother. Tho public said "bravo" and
like n flash the stage was deluged with nn
army of Gorman comedians with Inflated
stomnchs and llttlo chin pieces. Only
one other team wont neck nnd neck with
the Wcborflelds and It was the Hoger
urotners.
The llttlo prologue Is apropos because
Weber and Fields aro with us this week
at Keith s. They wero given an ovation
last night which was Just ns hearty ns
that of the old days uhen they filled the
next to closing "spot" In dus Hill's
World of Novelties. Slnco then famo nnd
fortuno have been generous from every
nnglo. They havo been stars, managers,
producers nnd authors hi addition to being
phonogrnphed nnd filmed.
And the very pool game which they nre
now presenting was tho means of putting
them In stardom. Interest la ndded to
the gamo by tho constant run of compli
cated criticism. Last night Joe Weber
was tlie winner, but It doesn't nlwnys
happen this way.
It Is just possible that Low Fields will
win tonight and take the two real ton
dollar bills, which play the role of stakes.
Lovers of the gamo and professional pool
sharps can pick up some valuable point
ers by wntchlng the Webcrflolds. Lew
takes four balls every time he makes a
"scratch" and also entitles himself to a
ball each tlmo that Joe misses. Despite
this, matters aro greatly simplified by tho
agreement that tho fellow who gets tho
money wins tho game.
Tho subject of mesmerism was Indulged
in later nnd Low sent Joe on a speedy
trip nil over the country, then left him
flnt In Camden for spite. This was fol
lowed by a discussion on music, and Joe
became so violent that Lew was obliged
to boirow a valuable "Stradlvarlus" from
the leader and smash It on his partner's
head. Tho neutral Germans won no end
of laughs.
Alan Brooks and company present
"Straightened Out," a comedy of "health,
happiness and hllarits-." Most of theiin
Ingredients aro supplied by Mr. Brooks
himself Tho sketch Is full of bright lines,
but Mr. Brooks' chief support Is a cir
cular staircase and a pack of cigarettes.
IHIicl Hopkins sang operatic and rag
tlmo selections without changing gowns
and soon deserved npproal. James and
Betty Morgan proved to bo a tnlentcd pair
of singers and musicians.
If tho truth Is worth while It must bo
said that Britt Wood, with a harmonica
and a shabby suit of clothes In keeping
with his net, received moro applause than
anything else on the bill.

Stevens at Nixon-Colonial
Tho policy of tho best nnd only tho
best for the patrons of tho Colonial,
Philadelphia's Hlppodromo, Is amply dem
onstrated this week In a flrst-clnss bill
that embraces every kind of entertain
ment. Cleo Gascoyno, for ecveral years
an Invaluable vocalist with tho Metro
politan Opera Company, was highly ap
preciated and forced to glvo several en
cores. Another stellar attraction Is Hal
Stevons, famous protean actor, with a
repertoire of quick character changes,
concluding with a remnrknble Imperson
ation of Joseph Jefferson ns Hip Van
Wrinkle. For tho Juvenile patrons there
was provided a seal with a human brain
under tho tutelago of tho Travillo Broth
ers, an act that has seldom been seen
nt popular prices. Incidentally the Tra
villo Brothers are thrco of tho best swim
mers in America, having established many
endurance records.
Dunbar's syncopated singers sing rag
tlmo melodies with a punch that carries
a6ross the footlights unto tho very last
row In tho gallery. Other acts on tho bill
nre Leo Tong Foo, Fairchlld and com
pany, Beaumont and Arnold, Bart and
Betty Wheeler, tho Crelghtons and Tcarl
and Johnny Itegay.
Rolfe Act at Globe
A very clever musical comedietta, pro
duced by It. A. Rolfe, synonymous with
quality, featured tho bill this week at the
Globe Theatre. Tho sketch, which Is
called "yo Old Tymo Halloween," has
been termed the best of Rolfo's efforts, be
ing dazzling In scenery, careful costum
ing and has a strong cast of seven char
acters. Bessie Adcle Folsom nnd Company ap
pear In a one-act drama entitled "Des
tiny," in which tho plot progresses smooth
ly to a startling denouement. Murray
Dennett has g. new collection of songs
and stories, uhile other acts nn the bill
are: Carl Rossini and company. King and
Hose. Jack Marley, Lightning Weston, De
Ranzo and Ladue, and Moore and Elliott.
Mile. Aniato at Nixon
Tim classic nantomlme. "The Annie of
p,-" prewntil by Mile. Amnio,' sup-
ported by Aurella Coccla and a company
ot Parisian artists, won the plaudits of
.i. -,,. ,io.i i,nu i-it .iiiri.t ni ih
Nixon. The story of the pantomime re
volves about a petite young woman who
Is In love with a clown and the Jealous
antics of the man's wife,
Tho Farrell-Taylor Trio presents a rip
roaring act In its caricature of old
time minstrels, while Cantwell and
Wnlker gained favor with their new of
fering, "The Cabaret Singer and the
Rounder." Other nets on the bill are
Tlny's Toj Circus. Lewis and White and
Zeno, Gordon and Zeno.
"Totem" at Nixon Grand
The Luck of a Totem" repeated the
success It has scored at other houses In
the city last night at the Nixon Grand.
The story Involves a totem pole, Harry
Qtrard and eight other actors and actress
es. The Hon. Francis P. Bent, former
mayor of New York city, was received
well with an Illustrated 'ecture accurately
relating the condition of affaire in tur
bulent Mexico.
Demarest and Collette produced many
laughs In the skit "Nifty Nonsense."
Other acts on the bill were Tryon's Dogs,
Sllbers and North, In a sketch, "The Bash
ful Boy and the Maid," and Fordan and
Day, In an act that was not heretofore
seen in tnia city,
Kilties at Cross Keys
The KInkatd Kilties, headllners at the
Cross Keys, proved to be a whole show
in themselves. Songe and dances followed
each other In whirlwind fashion and
there was a picturesque touch In keeping
with the traditions of the land of the
Scots.
One of the most artlstio number was
a sword dance, which enabled four fair
members of the company to display won
derful agility Bagpipe solos and unique
feats with a ponderous bass drum added
greatly to the spirit of tho offering. The
troupe also contained a number of good
characteristic singers.

WALNUT INTO CAMPUS
Comic Strip Heroes Give Courses in
Humor nnd Hilarity
Mutt nnd Jeff, Hud Fiiher's popular
comic creations, nro In college. At least
that Is the Impression they tried to create
at tho Walnut Street Theatre, where they
opened a week's engagement In tho fourth I
episoue in mo stage nio 01 mo long nnu
short heroes last night. "Mutt and Jeff In
Collego" Is a lively musical piece vacil
lating between burlesque and musical
comedy, with tho result that tho audience
Is treated to laughs galore, pretty "girls
and catchy songs. John Gorman nnd
Mnrty Hoaley aro Mutt and Jeff, re
spectively. Tho comedy of cartoons, of course,
lacks subtlety just as tho newspaper car
toons, lu their absurd situations nnd
cnrlcnturo Instead of characterization,
lack oven tho rudimentary elements of
art. But they do grasp and maintain tho
comic sense, fundamentally and essen
tially, even If crudely. Tho adaptors of
the new Mutt and Jeff stngo plcco hnvo
lost no chanco to win laughs, and they
got plenty of them last night.
Tho two leading characters depend upon
"make-up" for part of their ludicrous ap
peal, but thoy have talent as farceurs as
well. A comedienne of ability Is Minerva
Aclunis, who appears In a sort of "Sis
Hopkins" role. BUI Mnson, ns tho villugo
constable, was good and Florence Bears
ford and Bcttlo Farrlngton revonled good
voices In tho Blnglng rolea.
Two of the songs proved particularly
"catchy," "I Loo Them All" nnd "Every
One's a Good American." Tho doublo
male quartet consists of well-selected
and blended voices and tho chorus Is
good-looking nnd tuneful.

Noted Contralto Sings for Benefit of
Children's Homeopathic Hospital
It has been n long time since Mme.
Hchumann-Holnk hns sung ns well ns
sho did In her rccltnl for tho benefit of
the Children's Homeopathic Hospital, In
tho Academy of Music, yesterday. It Is
doubtful if her hendtones have ever been
more beautiful. Certainly, tho bell-like
clarity which characterized them yester
day and tho well-night perfect evenness
with which sho accomplished the transi
tion from ono register to another was a
surprise even to her oldest ndmlrors.
The audlcnrc yesterday was larger than
that which heard the contralto In her
pievlous recital this season. Every sent
j,, (
orchestra pit was taken, and a
largo number of tho chairs on the stngo
were occupied.
The program was Interesting In at least
ono respect. It brought back, after an
absence of a nuinbor ot years, tho rol
licking "Brlndlsl" from Donizetti's "Lu
crczla Borgia." Mme. Scliumann-Hclnk
long ago standardized tho singing of this
aria. Latterly sho lias avoided colora
tura numbers, hut many an Italian opera
star of today has just causo to envy tho
oaso and purity ot tono with which sho
sang tho cadenza of tho "Brlndlsl." Miss
Edith Evans was an excellent accom
panist. However, It was "Ah! mon flls," from
Meyerbeer's "Lo rrophete," and "Danny
Boy," which sho sang Instead of Krols
lor's "Cradle Song," which carried tho
most conviction.
Mme. Schumann-Heinle hns suffered a
great loss; a son died only a few weeks
ago. It was only by tho greatest effort
that sho was nblo to sing at all, yester
day. After tho concert sho broko down
completely, and that Is why sho could
not acknowledge tho cordial applauso ot
tho audience.

EUROPE'S RULERS

By the Photoplay Editor
Participants In the lull masque recently
given at tho Hotel Virginia. In Long
Uenr-h. Cnl , thought Hint Heniy Ford's
poaco mission had surveeiled, for most of
the leading Europenn monnrchs supposed
to bo nt war were there mingling freely
nnd amicably. Their presence was by
courtesy of It. M. Itorkholtner. president
nnd general manager of tho' Balboa
Amusement Producing Company, who put
on n pageant entitled "The War of the
N'ntlons," for the pntertninment of the
noted hotel's guests.
Strict neutrality being In order, most
Interest centred about the splendid Im
personation of tho llinperor Kraticls Jo-
soph of Austria by Daniel (lllfother
Many glnlio trotters wintering nt tho Vir
ginia have seen tho notables In tho flesh

his true-to-llfc reptrsenlntlon. Bruce

flormnny wns nlso a work of art.
Of tho reigning heads of tho Allies,
Frank llrlnnger as Victor Immnnucl of
Italy wns the most striking! whllo Mnkatii

portrayed Czar Nicholas of Russia.
Undo Ram, nn represented by R. R.
Roekott, Induced the scrapping rulers to
forget their differences for tho evening
nnd shnko hands. Henry King inado a
dignified Bnllioa. discoverer of tho Pacific,
for whom the company Is named.
Mr. Horkhelmcr nlso put on two other
features for tho bnll. One was a repre
sentation of "Tho Spirit of '70," with
Ruth Roland as a follow-up typifying
"The Spirit of HI1G." Tho other wns a
parody on Undo Tom's cabin, for comedy
relief. Norman Manning stage managed
the various stunts. Tito tnovio actors
demonstrated their ndaptllilllty by playing
tho vni lous parts to perfection. Moro than
a hundred Balboans wero present lu cos
tume. There nro always two ways to do a
thing Sometimes moro. But It Is seldom
that thero aro two ways of doing tho
same thing with equnlly Interesting, yet
totally different results. However, that
Is what Is done with "Diplomacy," as
acted last season by William Glllctto,
HIancho Bates and Mario Doro and ltlmcd
this year by Frank Losec, Edith Walker
and Mario Doro.
Tho keynolo of tho stngo revival last
year was suave, subtle, sympathetic
handling of clever lines. Action was re
duced to a minimum nnd quiet, brilliant
wit took Its place.
In tho film, now playing at tho Stanley,
featuring Marie Doro, the exact opposite
Is true. Action is quickened nnd the whole
story speeded up. Frank Losee, business
like to his finger tips, plays tho rolo of
tho diplomat with a directness almost
brutnl. Even Miss Doro becomes nnl
mntcd, where ln tho play sho was calm
nnd quiet Ono enn take this as a sign of
tho limitations of tho movies. Yet tho
"Diplomacy" of film Is qulto na unusual
