That two capacity audiences greeted the performers attested to the popularity of the entertainrnnt and that 'Dayton was eager to pet off to its circui season, and did so with a flying atart. The opening scene is done in the Tersian manner.

It is an Oriental spectacle with myriad dancing girls, beautifully costumed, and after the introductory parade, the three rings were filled with dancing girls, upon whom were trained clever colored lighting effects. Roy Delano is responsible for the grand opening -and may well be proud of his job. Gordon's trained dogs, ponies and mules in one ring, and Joyce's bucking mules, and tiny dogs and ponies in another were going through their paces while John Helliott was in the caged arena working the mixed group of jungle beasts which will be worked by Marie Rasputin at soon as her wound is entirely healed. She was clawed a couple of weeks prior to the opening of the show in Chicago and although she made a limited appearance, and showed a horse-back riding lion, she is not as yet presenting her own real act. Miss Rasputin ia the daughter of the "Mad Monk" of Russia, who was credited with holding the decisions of the ciarists in hia hypnotic eyes, until put to death by a nobleman about 1914.

She has lots of pleasant personality, and no doubt will be one of the how's headline aa soon as she is physically able to put on her whole show.

PLATINUM BLONDES Daringly different to the extent of not using the same formula of producing a show along conventional lines and keeping to the same routine tha- is presented season after season, the new "Platinum Blondes," th- all-girl revue with a cast of 45 platinum charmers opens today at the RKO-Colonial theater, after a most successful tour of the better theaters throughout the land. Among the stars who appear are Boice and Marsh, the Dawn Sisters, Miss "Chic" Kennedy, Sara Jane anu her Platinum Tunesmiths, Dorothy. Sisson, the Lee twins, Babe Leonard and the platinum blonde dancers. The screen attraction too is far above average. It is "$10.00 Raise," and stars Edward Everett Horton in human comedy drama.

Karen Morley and Alan Dinehart are seen in the supporting cast. LADDIE All the heart-throbs that made "Laddie" such an immortal story as a novel by Gene Stratton-Porter, have been transferred to the screen in the picture now showing at the Strand theater. It is a wholesome dramatic romance with an excellent featured cast. Prominent in "Laddie" are one son, Morris; a brother, wt Spencer Morris, Dayton; and a sis make role convincing. Two children, costumed as monkeys, furnished the interest in one act, chattering furiously, gripping the bars of their giant cage and leaping about in simian antics.

When Beatty left the show one wondered who would fill the vacancy, but a personable chap, Bert Nelson, has more than adequately filled the niche.

He has a cage full of "cats" and forces one to bow to his supremacy. It ia especially well done. The rings fill up with acrobats, serious and comic, and then the arenas are cleared for the appeal ance of Jeannette May, an aerial-ist billed "of prodigious strength and marvelous skill." This she does demonstrate to the tcntful of thrill seckera by making an even hundred turns over her arm. She is secured by the wrist to a loop, and the audience was audible in its praise. More quick glances revealed skillful exhibitions of horsemanship, and then the peti of the circus the trained seals.

These educated animals are one motion ahead of their trainer, anticipating his orders with as much enthusiasm as their restricted locomotion will permit. The blue-blooded dancing horse were beautiful, but their riders seemed to be less adept than those usually seen with the big circuses. They were not especially well garbed, nor did they sit their saddles well. Another place in which this reviewer was entirely in her element was when the gorgeous living statues were assembled. Dull gold and brilliant paint covered the bodies of the three groups, but there weren't enough of the art poses only three.

There were wonderful feats of horsemanship; also a mammoth herd of elephants, which went around the tracks and the rings all tied together; the superb companies of trained horses, the flying aerialists trapeze artists to you), and exciting races and high jumping horses.

The usual preview performance will came prominent as a bandsman To run the gamut of Isham Jones' song hits, one must include his first success, "Swingin' Down the Lane," which was followed by The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else." Then came the greatest of all his melodies, the ever popular "I'll See You in My Dreams." Other numbers by Jones, written during the golden decade of Tin ran Alley, are "It Had to Be You," "Spain" and "Down Where the Su Goes Down." Even a "moon" title has come from his versatile song-writing pen in the still popular "Indiana Moon." More recently "If You Were Only Mine," "1 Can't Believe It's True" and "Let's Try Again" have added to the list of Jones' hit tunes.

Indeed, so numerous and frequent have become his contributions to the song-writing field that Isham recently decided to enter the publishing business so that he can popularize and distribute, as well as write, the Isham Jones compositions, "Bubbles in the Wine," "Funny to Everyone But Me" and "All Mine, Almost" are the initial "plug" numbers of the new Isham Jones Music Corp. If Isham Jones were given to the habit of talking abotu himself, he could develop out of his own experiences one of the most interesting "gucess stories" in the musical world today. But in the few words that Isham will volunteer about his career, he is more likely to stress his mistakes than his successes. For example, there is thBt time back in Saginaw, when young Isham took the job of lead-irg a small ensemble in church concerts. Everything went well until one Synday he made the fatal error of striking up the currently-popular "Alexander's Ragtime Band." The elders of the church lost no time in striking him off their Sabbath program.

The recent announcement of the Pulitzer prize play for the current season makes the presentation of "icebound" by the Y. M. C. A. Dramatic club especially apropos.

"Icebound," by. the prolific Owen Davis, was a Pulitzer prize winner several seasons ago and remains as fresh and entertaining now as then. Most local theatergoers are familiar with the story from previous presentations, so we shall content ourselves with saying merely that the plot concerns the rehabilitation of a black sheep through the clever methods of a woman smart enough to see below the surface of his worthless exterior. All the characters in this rural play are easily recognizable, and the New England locale of the story does not detract from their resemblance to persons we have seen and known. Owen Davis has rot made a pretty picture of most of the characters, who are spiteful, bigoted, narrow in fact, "Icebound," as is the earth of their farms.

The sweetness of Jane and the sincerity of the real Ben after he finds himself are the redeeming features. Winston Lee, who appeared in the original New York cast of the play, directed the current presentation. He has more than capably performed the task he assumed and especially noteworthy is the manner in which he "speeded up" the action. A play of this type is apt to drag ana amateurs are notably prone to be slow in picking up their cues, but neither of these faults was apparent in Thursday night's performance. Mr.

Lee is fortunate in having such an excellent group your.g people and all gave fine accounts of themselves. Courtland Baker handled the role of Ben Jordan in an admirable manner and Eleanor L. Mayer was a convincing Jane Crosby, being at her best in the last act. The other members of the cast included Donald Fogarty, Thelma Meek, Janet Barkmeyer, Jeanne Kelley, Robert Foley, Mary Miltner, John P. Ziegler, DeVoe H.

Turpinj Dorothy Baker and Wolvie H. Jones. The single setting was in keeping with the spirit of the play and helped in large measure to establish the mood of the piece. It was reminiscent of many such "parlors" we have all seen. The play is to be present again this evening and it is to be hoped that large numbers of drama lovers will avail themselves of the opportunity to see this very worth-while effort.
