The story is chock full of interest throughout and has been well directed. OF SEASON AT FAY'S Fine Photoplay Features and Vaudeville Acts Received With Marked Favor CASINO STARTS SEASON "Monkey Shines," a Breezy Attraction.

Was the Offering There is a cornucopia full of action, humor, and music in "Monkey Shines," which opened yesterday at the Casino yes, and monkey shines, too. as far as that is concerned, George Shelton and Al Tyler, the well-known comedians, supplying them. The latter two gentlemen of laughter are just as entertaining as ever, and every bit as slapstick, and the whole show is one to provide on afternoon of amusement without bothering one's head about dramatic technique and all that sort of rot. Take-offs, not badly taken at all. are presented of the Shooting of Dan McGrew, the Village Blacksmith and several other familiars.

Helen Kennedy, Mae Myers and Irene Shea are perhaps the leading headliners among the females, while the two comedians share the honors with Tommy Donnelly, Burt Kyan and Lloyd Peddrick. Of the specialty numbers, of which there are a host, of the most delightful is the charming Jrene Shea, with her ukelele playing, and singing in a voice that is most sweet "Those Uke- Dancing, Musical Numbers Acrobatic Acts and Comedy Make Good Variety Picture Than Dick Barthelmess Is Pretty Nearly the Whole Show in It Latest Tom Mix Is Rather Better Some Others home a wholesome lesson.

He loans the husband money with which to continue playing a losinsr game, but the young man finds himself eventually and makes amends while the wife bets on a racehorse to save hubby from going to jail. Harrison Ford Claire Adams.

Mahlon Hamilton, Margarent Livingston and others are in the cast. The Xews pictures of recent events were also, decidedly interesting. "The Co-Ed's" a musical farce in which Giaile Beverly and a capital supporting cast appeared, headlined the vaudeville bill and scored well. The act is breezy, tuneful and there was some sprightly dancing. Maurice Samuels and Company offered "A Day at Ellis Island" in which the various nationalities figured, the imitations being quite true to life.

There is a story with alternate comedy and pathos. White and Clair a pair of harmony singers who know just how to put over a song were so well received that they nearly exhausted their repertory before they were permitted to depart. Jennings and Mack irovided a comedy skit called "The Camouflage which was veritable scream and quite out of the ordinary.

After being driven to Fifty-sixt-h and Ludlow streets the dispute over the fare ensued. tainment in the aggregate.

One number. Auspiciously, indeed, was the start of the season at Fay's Theatre yesterday, for the combination of a strong bill of vaudeville and a feature photoplay, banked by news reels and other short subjects, and an audience which was in no sense lacking in displaying its pleasure, ushered in the" new period of entertainment. The house showed the attention of the decorators and upholsterers, although it has always been regarded as one of the most comfortable and inviting in West Philadelphia. The photoplay was "The Wheel" the of the series of John Golden productions of clean plays. There is nothing unusual about the story, but it sends gramme, wincii was a strong one for the beginning of the season.

Meyer (Jolden "Masterpiece, recalls eloquently the freshness of Chauve Souris. It is a number that presents several beautifully costumed offerings before exquisite scenic arrangements, in succession "An Old Cameo." and "The Hong Kong Theatre in China." The cast is made up of a carefully selected list of Russian and American players who sing and dance well. Lloyd Ibach's Entertainers with Mickey Norton and Eddie Vine also put on an entertaining number. The band merely serves as a background for individual stunts that went over in- good shape. An especially pleasing vocal number was the recital of Fleurette Jeoffrie.

a coloratura soprano with a flexible voice and high register. One or two lighter numbers would have materially improved her act. Two of her songs especially in which she called iuto play the echo were very effective. "Solomon's Children." by Hugh Herbert in which the author takes the prin A fanciful, tuneful condensed production entitled, "The Antique Shop," in which various articles to be found in such emporiums were made animate, was the feature of the vaudeville at the Earle yesterday, with Val Eichen heading the cast of singers, dancers and comedians. The piece is amusing and entertaining and was received with much favor by the large audiences.

Another timely contribution was that of "Hitland," in which a group of song writers, with the capable assistance of several pianos, rendered a variety of compositions. Howard Langford and Ina Frederick offered a breezy travesty sketch called "Shopping." It was humorous and tuneful. Jim Diamond and Sibyl Brelnan in a skit called "Something for Sale," which was a mixture of amusing patter and catchy songs, and Mallon and Case added mirth to the programme in a skit called "Keeping the Doctor Away." Julian Hall and Kathlen Dexter in "Her First Lesson" sang, danced in acrobatic fashion and played musical instruments effectively. Mr. Hall's impersonation of Charlie Chaplin was about as true to life as one could imagine.

The Mc-Barnes. a versatile team, rounded out the vaudeville. The photoplay feature was "The Adventurous Sex." with Clara Bow, Herbert Hawlinson, Earle Williams, Harry T. Morey and Flora Finch in the principal roles. Miss Bow as the modern flapper, full of the adventurous spirit, tiring of parental interference and restrictions takes life into her own hands.

There is a sensational rescue from an airplane when the disillusioned girl plunges into the Xiagara River and js being swept towards the falls. The Apoe Tom Mix appears in the "Lucky Horse Shoe" at the Fox this week.
