bers of the Benito Juarez Club, an
organization among the Mexican
population of the city had a moat
joyous celebration. Miguel Ordonez
president of the club, reported that
more then 200 participated fo the
program, which, began Christmas
Eve and continued until 1 o’clock
Thursday morning.
A Christmas tree program was
rendered early in the evening and
all the children present received
• presents. The club wishes to ex-
tend its thanks to Saul Lebenson
and J. B. Marlow for making it
possible to have a Christmas tree
and gifts for distribution.
Beginning at t o’clock, members
of the club enjoyed a daaoe until
M 1 o’clock in the morning. The
dance was conducted in a most
; peaceful way and according to of-
1 rielala, it was the quietest Christ-
mas Eve and Christmas Day in the
Y history of this section of the city.
Mrs. Seeley, enter of President
Ordonez, was one of the honored
guests present at the dance and
program.

Ben Meroff and his band; with
Frank and Milt Britton, in the
“Brown Derby" head an exceptions
any interesting program at the
Wichita theater for Friday and Sat
urday. matinee and night.
The Merorr’s for generations have
been players. Ben has been on the
stage almostfrom the time he ber
gan to toddle. Of course his family
saw to his schooling but birth and
environment made him a player and
a mighty good player at that, also
an exceedingly versatile player. He
dances, he sings, he to a good comic
and every now and then he attempts
the serious but this is only on
rare occasions because Den Meroff
has a disciple of levity with the
assistance of Frank and Mit Brit -
ton and his symphonic band he to
going in for levity of its best.
Frank and Milt Britton and his
symphonic band are jazzologists.
past masters of ultra modern or-
chestration, They supply the melo-
dy for the unotuous humorous songs
sung by Meroff and a variety of
dances, that are both exceptional
and amusing. Meroff to said to be
one of the best Russian dancers on
the stage, because all of the good
Russian dancers are now somewhere
else besides In their own country.
Pauline Saxon and Al Belasco.

tractive young person and so to

in “A Box Office Attraction." The

Al Belasco the putron. The talk to
bright with a song or two and a
little dancing.
Julius Furst.
Julius Furst- cells himself “Thi
Man On the Blocks." He is one of
the European gymnastic sensations
recently brought to this country
and his title is derived from the fact
that he performs his feats from a
pile of building blocks, almost the
kind of blocks used as playthings
by “children. Furst stands on his
hands atop a pyramid of blocks
with articles balanced on his feet
and head and one by one knocks
the blocks out from under him.
Gymnasts claim this to be one of
the most difficult feats of balancing
ever accomplished.
Most everyone knows the mean-
ing of M. D., D. D. S., 1,. L. D. but
few people know what C. X T.
stands for. In the language at
vaudeville C. M T. means comedy,
singing and talking. In the original
comedy oddity, The Perfect 30 pre-
sented by Stutz and Bingham is
comedy, singing and talking. Com-
edy of the bright, breezy hind: sing-
ing of the litling melodious kind,
by players of the throughly likeable
kind. This combination is blended
into a skil called "The Perfect 34."
Miss Bingham is one of the famous
Bingham family which include
among others the famous Amelia
Bingham.
Hamilton and Barnes
Helen Hamilton and Jack Barnes
are entertaining from the sheer
power of magnetic personality and
an innate sense of humor. They are
in the, class of performers who are
naturally humorous and distin-
guished from actors trying to be
funny and only succeeding in mak-
ing- theater goers conscious of
forced effort.
Mr. Barnes is nut unlike T. Roy
Barnes not that the newcomer is
copying his more famous follow ac-
tor of the same surname it to mere-
ly that nature causes him to be an
essential component of the jocular
dialogue dispensed by the two.
Their semi-pantomime bit as a bride
and bridegroom to an encore that
really to worth while demanding.
Since congress passed the 19th
amendment the weaker sex is a
matter of opinion In the mind of
Herbert Clifton, the weaker «ex la
distinguished by skirts. Mr. Clifton
is a delineator of feminine types.
His types are travesties. Mr. Clifton
has beep a success both here and In
England. Here his success is two
fold as It was scored both in musical
comedy and in vaudeville. In the
former, he was with Zlegteld Follies
and in the latter he is wall known
for ’an Introduction. Mr. Clifton
doesn’t specialize in “fair young
things." - His best impersonation is
probably that of the scrub woman.
