COMEDY LEADS AT MAJESTIC Plenty of Fun in Vaudeville Offerings; Two Ziegfeld Stars on Program For vaudeville patrons who prefer plenty of comedy, an acrobatic turn or two and a good novelty offering, the bill at the Majestic for the last half of the week should prove a verit able gold mine of Joy. Not that there are causes for whirlwinds of laughter in the entertainment offered, but there is plenty to be enjoyed. One of the best unieycle and bicycle acts in weeks is on the list to start. Will E. Ride and Brother going through a series of diflicult turns on wheels. The ride between a row of flashlights and the juggling on a uni eycle are features. Jack Rose starts his offering by arriving "late." He has a string of monolog, recitative songs and lots of aimless gestures to keep the audience laughing. Raymond Walker assists at the piano. Arthur McWaters and Grace Tyson, late stars of "Ziegfeld's Follies," were so well liked last night that they were compelled to give an encore at the second show. The pair give some clever burlesques at the close of the act,, and are always sure of applause, as they are favorites here. Wood and Wyde, in their comedy skit. "That's All Right," are excep tionally good entertainers. Their dialog, while not full of wit. is very amusing and partly in rhyme. DeWitt, Burns and Torrence close with a creation named "The Awaken ing of Toys." Contrary to the sug gestion in the title the offering in stead of proving a tiresome mechani cal doll and soldier affair, is in reality a line acrobatic attraction. Concealed behind a huge clock is another sur prise, which reminds many of the "horrid giants" in the fairy tales, they read in childhood days. MAX ROBERTSON.

The extravagant revels in metro politan studios, where well-known artists meet and mingle, are lavishly reproduced in "The Beloved Traitor." Nor is one detail missing from the village scenes where men and women meet not to revel but to gossip or to help a needy neighbor.

She is holding out her arms as if welcom ing the returning seamen, her hair blowing around her small head and her skirt blowing around slim ankles. The man calls it "The Beacon." When he goes to the city at the instance of a distinguished patron of art—and his unscrupulous daughter— Mary knows that it is the turning point in his career. ,She urges him to go while she is tormented by fears of losing him forever. But she makes u heroic resolve to Father Anthony, her counselor and friend, not to stand in the way of her sweetheart's progress. The exciting adventures of the sculptor-fisherman in the city are drtimatieally depicted. There is no less drama in Mary's silent, patient waiting on the cliffs of Maine until she goes to the city to be her sweet heart's "beacon" and save her beloved traitor from himself. every whim—her obsession being to do good among the poor and criminal classes. The pretty little girl becomes interested in a burglar, just released from the penitentiary, who has told her a pitiful story of his career. She insists upon her father's employing him as under gardener, and while acting in that capacity "Slippery Bill" robs the home of his benefactor, besides planning to kidna- the child who has befriended him.
