When Irving Berlin's international | syncopated musical success, '"Watch i Your Step" "Wateli Yotir Step" comes to the ' Orpheum next; Friday night it will be found a danc- i ing show as its title implies. The j story begins in a lawyers ofllee where j dancing is found to be the feature of the day's work and participated in | i freely by all of the people belonging ; | thereto and the visitors within the ; I gates. The stenographers, the clients i and the lawyers of the firm dance a ■ bit before and after taking evidence I or reading a will. After getting used | to the idea it seems perfectly all right I for the songs and arguments, prome- 1 nades and poses, all going around and I trotting across to the right, and to the left.

Burns Mantle, of the Evening Mail, said: "It should last an entire season on Broadway." Frank Pope, of the Journal of Com merce, wrote: "This is a genuine hit. Bulger is a scream. Don't miss this show." Charles Darnton, of the Evening World, wrote: "Good music, good comedy, an extremely funny comed ian and pretty girls go to make I 'Come Along' a genuine winner." !

LINCOLN'S FAMILY THEE Elmo Lincoln, the serial star, pro claimed by many to be the most per fect specimen of physical hanhood in the world, is constantly pestered by admirers who want to know whether or not he can trace his family to the great Abraham Lin coln. To appease the curiosity of the inquirers Elmo, the mighty, who is now at work at Universal City, supplies them with this answer: "Yes, indeed, I can trace my family to Abraham Lincoln. • You have heard of thut son "We're Coming Father Abraham, Fifty Thousand Strong,' well that strong part applied to to my end of the family. In all seriousness, however, my great I uncle's half sister's cousin's niece was related by marriage to the famous woman whose eldest son's lit tle brother's aunt married that dis tinguished gentleman whose broth er had a dog that once fell in Abra ham Lincoln's cistern in Springlield, 111." One of the important factors in the production of the Paramount-Briggs Comedies, which are based on the stories told in the cartoons of Clare A. Briggs in the New Y'ork Tribune, is Mrs. Briggs. Mrs. Briggs assists her husband In the writing ct scenarios and the sub titles of the comedies and also in de vising the bits of characteristic Briggs atmosphere which forms such an important element in the pictures. Since she und Mr. Briggs became engaged, years ago. in Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Briggs has taken an active in terest in her husband's work. In deed, Mr. Briggs declares that it was his wife who suggested to him that he ought to draw "boy stuff" for his cartoons. So familiar is she with his style of work and what he ex presses in his drawings that she is an invaluable help to John William Kel lette, dirintor of the Paramount- Briggs Comedies, in plotting situa tions and bits of business for tho comedies.

PIE-PROOF A senator said in the course of an argument: "The proof of that fact is overwhelm ing. It's pie proof, in a word." He went on: "A man entered a lunch joint, took a piece of custard pie, and sat down in his chair with it when ho remembered that he wanted coffee. So lie ran over to the coffee urns .and when he came back again his chair was occupied. •That's my chair,' he said politely to the occupant. How do you know its your chair?' the occupant growled. !! ; Bccause * can prove it.' " 'Oh, how can you prove it?" " 'By my pie—my custard pie. You're sitting on it.' " —Washington Star.
