...strings of his take-down guitar, but most of his jokes were old and a bit off-color. It seems odd that a black face and spoken song make a presentable imitation of Jolson. Kitty Doner's feet were in excellent form, and Jack Pearl, comedian with a Keith accent, made himself reasonably funny. His part as Sombrero Jack when he took three falls was perhaps his best attempt...

Vanities of 1923. Earl Carroll has unveiled a first-rate second-class vaudeville show. With a single exception his notables are picked from the infinite rows of orchids, yams, and parsnips which burgeon beneath the glass frames of Mr. B. F. Keith.

And yam actors should not be liberated on a stage facing 1,000 people who have paid $11.00 for the exercises...
South Africa. A skull believed older than that of the Rhodesian man of the Broken Hill mine has been found at Belingwe, near Bulawayo. Sir Arthur Keith, who estimated the age of the other skull as older than the Neanderthal man (50,000 years), will examine it. If further remains are found in South Africa, it may prove to be one of the earliest homes of the race, rivalling Java...

Covent Garden is some shucks over there, but the Palace is a more...
