E-
a heap of laughs In the act and some
clever dance steps too. - Charlie is
an eccentric stepper while his pretty
partner moves around in a novel
manner too.
The motion picture portion of the
program bas not been alighted.
"Young Ideas" a snappy Universal
film that stars Laura La plan te film-
dom's blonde beauty is the photoplay
for the week. The picture say the
press sheets is filled - with lot' of
action. - There's a love story of
course. The picture move rapidly
from start to finish and ia filled with
some trick comedy situations.
Most acrobats take themselves and
their work seriously. They have to
take their work serionsly. Jim Felix
on this week's Majestic bill however
takes neither his work nor himself
seriously. He's a comedy acrobat.
He brings a "bar" act back to vaude-
ville after that old favorite of other
days has been pushed aside for years.
The stunts on the bar together with
hit burlesque on famous gymnasts
make his act one of laughter as well
as athletics.
"Songs and Chatter" is what Dora
Maughn promises the audience and
the critics say she passes out both in
an admirable way. . She's taking a
whirl at vaudeville after closing with
a musical comedy production. A set
of specially prepared numbera are in
her repertoire.
As an added feature Henry Santrey
tosses his baton aside and appears in
a surprise feature with Anna Sey-
mour who steps awav from her broth-
er to work with the band leader. They
have a song and comedy stunt that
has been a hit with audiences.
Finlay's Majestic orchestra is
primed with an overture feature and
some clever note manipulations for
the Aesop's Fables. There's a new
loathe News too.

and then he will come back to New
York to head concert company which
Roger de Bruyn is forming to sur-
round the Welsh star.
Now it can be told: George Walsh
film star who was selected by June
Matins to play the title role in "Ben
Hur" and was later supplanted by
Ramon Navarro has had a handsome
apology made to him by the Metro
and Loew folk. It was not that ha
was unequal to the task he is told but
when the two big companies were con-
solidated they found themselves with
a contract with Navarro and had to
"take care" of Mm.
Mary Carroll leading actress in
"The Potters." offers in perfectly
good faith the suggestion that what
is needed in this country is a theatri-
cal museum. She elaborated by recit-
ing the fact that many famous relics
are lost to posterity because there are
no archives to receive tbem. And
Miss Carroll is perfectly correct. But
most of the old relics of the stage are
yet preserved to us. They may be
found playing character roles on the
screen.
A new picture plavhotise on Broad
way is competing tor de luxe trade. It

Ernie Young's Revue 1
Is Rice Attraction
Ernie Young's snappy Marigold Gar-
den Kevue now holding forth in the
ballroom of the Rice hotel every night
between 10:30 and 1 a. m. will be
presented through Sunday night after
which the entire company will depart
for Florida for the winter season.
Many social affairs are being ar-
ranged among Houstonians to eventu-
ate during the limited engagement of
the revue. Some of thene will be for-
mal but the majority will be a series
of informal functions.
A la carte service is observed. The
revue is entirely informal. This an-
nouncement is made to correct the
impression that formal dinner clothes
must be worn by patrons.
Lloyd Finlay s Majestic orchestra
remains a big magnet for the engage-
ment. Heavy reservations for Saturday
and Sunday nights indicate that the
Marigold Revue will conclude its
Houston engagement in the presence
of cupacity audiences.
