(Boston and VlehUtr) LISTEN DEARIE AT THE WILBUR New Musical Comedy, Setting Forth the Mirthful Adventures of a Football Hero WILBUR THEATRE "Listen Dearie, music comedy In three acts; book by Harold Atterldge and Gertrude Purcell; music and lyrics by Charles Gilpin. Produced by Charles Gilpin.

First time here. The cast: Cabin Boy Jeriy Bell toward Ch andier Chri st i Paniel Hargrave Geprve Schiller Jackie Hilbert Fred Hillebyand Count Halm Lula Alberni Kansas Quinine June Day Joaie Josephine Duval Ethel Ethel Bryan! Dottie Dorothv Van Heat Svlvla Silvia Carol Kitty Marie Kerns Violet Violet Dell Mrs Sloane Rose Winter Beatrice Shirley Silent Smith Charles Howard Alice Hargrave Laura I.ee Billy Hargrave Ridges Bernard Vernon Frank Bernard If you like your comedy rough and ready and your dancing fast and Jazzie, you will find much to enjoy in Listen Dearie, the new musical comedy presented at the Wilbur Theatre last evening. The audience certainly did seem to like it for laughter and applause was almost continuous. The show was first given to the stage a few weeks ago in Philadelphia, where Charles Gilpin, its composer and producer, is highly esteemed as impresario of the famous Masque and Wig band of amateurs. There are no amateurs in the present production, however; on the contrary all the players are experienced and talented and several of them have won popularity here in the past.

The performance was run off at a furiously turbulent pace that will be exacting to maintain should the piece have the expected long Summer run here. The scene of action Is aboard an ocean liner and the two settings, on deck and in the salon, are very effectively staged. Although there is no recognition of this on the program, the plot is singularly reminiscent of that of a farce written and played several years ago by Mr and Mrs Sydney Drew. The fun of the Drews farce was chiefly developed from the embarrassment brought to a young man by the loss of his false teeth, or, aa they were called, Billys Tombstones. In Listen Dearie the suffering hero is one Billy Hargrave, a star football player so unfortunate as to have had four of his front teeth kicked out in a scrimmage that resulted in his sojourn for a month in a hospital.

During his convalescence he had had four nice false ones made and ivhen he meets the girl he loves aboard the ship sailing for Europe, she does not suspect his loss and he hesitates to reveal to her the horrible truth. Had he done so there wouldnt have been any plot to Listen Dearie, for all the resulting complications are directly concerned with the false teeth and their temporary loss. The nefarious Court Helm, who would win for his own the fortune of Billys sweetheart, takes advantage of Billys reticence to make it appear that the latters absent four false teeth are four discarded illegitimate babies. In this deception the Count is innocently abetted by a comical drunken detective whose head is as bald as a billiard ball until he drinks a certain brand of wine which causes his cranium to sprout luxuriantly. But there is no need to further outline the plot, which is frankly put together for laughing purposes only.

That, in this respect it is eminently successful is not to be denied. Many of the comical situations are ingeniously contrived and much of the dialogue is amusing. The frequent repetition of one expletive, however, suggests a rather limited vocabulary of profanity. It was the joyous and unrestrained speed of the performance that delighted last evening's audience most of all. Particularly pleasing was the work of the chorus, as fast stepping and attractive a collection of girls as has recently been seen here.

During the ships concert scene several of them revealed their accomplishments in song, dance and specialty. One of them kicked to amazing heights with marvelous ease. The romantic lover and football champion who lost his front teeth, has very agreeable and plausible representation in the person of Stanley Ridges. His comedy is no less effective because of sane restraint. Fred Hillebrand, whose caricature of femir.

ine mannerisms is as displeasing to some as it is amusing to others, has a congenial role, which he plays in characteristic fashion. Shirley1 Vernon, not so long ago one of the ornaments of The Follies, dances with verve and charm and proves herself a girl any man might willingly lose his teeth for. June Day, as the cabaret queen, is irresistibly alluring and Laura Lee is as lively a bit of femininity as one may hope to see in musical comedy. The whirlwind dancing by Jerry Bell and Frank Bernard was stormily applauded. George Schiller, as spry and comical as in the days of Evangeline, and Charles Howard as the detective are others who contribute to the evenings merriment.

The score has a dozen or so tuneful numbers and most of them were sung last evening in a manner that called for repetition.

Seen Upon the Screen in Rougti House Rosie Merry Film by Will Rogers As a cabaret dancer who wants to be a lady and finally decides that kind hearts are more than coronets, Clara Bow scores a distinct hit as the star of Rough House Rosie, the leading photoplay at the Metropolitan Theatre this i week. Miss Bow plays a sope-wht similar part to that In which she first appeared on the screen.

In Down to the Sea in Ships Clara won her first fame in various fight with sailors. In Rough House Rosie she begins by knocking out a middleweight boxer and as the film progresses knocks out several more of her admirers. Miss Bow is probably the best bet In the film field, for the stellar role of Rough House Rosie. She puts real pep and enthusiasm into her acting. Rosie OReilly is supposed to be a worker in a jelly bean factory.

She and her chum (played by Doris Hill) decide to better their station in life, and after Rosie knocks out a few office boys and such she manages to get a wonderful opportunity to go into a cabaret as the Rough House Rosie girls. Rosie has a lover, who Is a boxer. Reed Howes takes this role and he and hls manager, Arthur Housman, are a joy to behold In their amazing costumes. The manager tries to help out his rather dumb boxer by telling him how to win Rosie. Of course his Ideas are all wrong.

Rosie meets a real gentleman and the boxer gets the mitten. On the nJght of the big fight, when Rosies sweetheart is fighting for the middleweight championship, Rosie goes off to a party at the home of a Princess. Joe Hennessey, her sweetheart, is so discouraged because Rosie Isnt at the ringside to see him win that he proceeds to lose nearly every round. Of course Rosie finds out that she really loves Joe before the end of the bout, and her presence in the ringside seat, right next to his corner, Inspires Joe to knock out hls sailor opponent. Will Rogers, the humorous philosopher, who writes for the Globe every day, is seen in a brief picture showing his audience over Paris.

Dressed as an unofficial Ambassador he, by means of subtitles, keeps up a running comment of funny remarks as pictures of Paris are flashed on the screen. A Day In Hawaii Is the Gene Rodemich offering this week. The stage Is set as if the Met Merrymakers were playing their' selections on a beach at Hawaii, and several Hawaiian musicians aid them. There are also hula dances. Vienna Life, the Frank Cambria revue.

Is beautifully staged and gives the MacQuarrie Ensemble a chance to play lovely harp numbers. Arthur Martel satirizes with music various headgears. There Is also a Will Rogers film, in which the humorist takes the audience over Paris. APOLLON AND HIS DANCERS AT KEITHS Dancing acts are quite the usual In vaudeville, but there are some exceptional ones, for example, Dave Apollons offering at Keiths Theatre this week. Here there is a combination of steps and music, two girls scoring In toe work, a group of Filipino players providing the accompaniments and also special numbers, including The Dance of the Hours.

This is an outstanding feature, but there are other interesting acts, especially those of Cecil Cunningham and Roger Imhoff. The latter, as an Irish pedler seeking a place to sleep and encountering strange experiences in a wierd hotel, he Is not only an amusing comedian, but he impresses also as an actor in a quaint role. Miss Cunningham presents types, requiring little In the way of makeup in characterizations drawn without exaggeration. Her group of songs are illustrative and otherwise. One tells about the girl who knew her onions.

It appears that a real knowledge of this vegetable is essential In successful financing. The entertainers also include the Perettos, who combine dancing and acrobatics; Roger Williams, who makes his voice serve in the sounds of musical instruments, the organ and even the radio included with the naturalness that one is accustomed to in real the thing; Ethel Sinclair and Marge La Marr, two good-looking girls in bathing suits, with a funny line of chatter; Bogannys comedians, presenting Fun In a Bake-shop, a riot of tumbling and rapid action, and the Paul Brothers in a stirring high-perch act. Eva Clark in a new repertory of songs not overlooking a few favorites of other days, Annie Laurie being given in response to an encore. Dan Caslar is at the piano. Fables and Topics of the Day complete the program.

Lindberghs takeoff on. Parts hop was shown. VITAPHDNE BILL AT MODERN AND BEACON That the Vitaphone in permanent installation In photoplay houses Is a power to be reckoned with is being proved at the Modern and Beacon, the first Boston theatres to have this equipment. Since the showing last Saturday morning of their first Vitaphone program, which includes John Barrymore in Don Juan and the presentations of Buch artists as Marion Talley, Giovanni Martlnelli, Mischa Elman, Roy Smeck and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra of 107 players, these twin houses have been having record-breaking audiences. There Is evidence that since the first performances of Vitaphone last Fall, the instrument has been improved to the effect that reproduction of sound and sight gives slight suggestion tha: mechanics enter Into the process.

The photoplay Is one that reveals Mr Barrymore In intriguing phases of his artistry through hls playing the worlds most renowned lover. The cast Includes Mary Astor, Estelle Taylor, Warner Oland, Montagu Love and Helene Costella. The showings are continuous from 9:15 to 11 m. BRYANT STRATTON ALUMNI AT POP CONCERT Nearly 1000 strong, members of the Bryant Stratton Alumni Association attended the pop concert at Symphony Hall last night. Under direction of Robert L.

Studley, president of the association, a novel seating arrangement was worked out, In which employes of various business houses represented were enabled to sit together at a table. Tolstoys Famous Story Is Vividly Pictured Singing by Russian Art Choir Powerful, dramatic and poignant Is tha film at the State this week. Made from the novel of Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection, has a gripping theme and Edwin Carewe, the director, has treated the story in a reverent fashion. He has kept to the unhappy but dramatic ending, In which Katusha Maslova goes singing to the salt mines while her lover, Prince Dmitri, learns for the first time the beauty and worth of a womans sacrificial love. Many persons have read the novel telling how Katusha, a peasant girl.

Is fuined by Prince Dmitri, and' then sinks to the dregs. The couple meet again when Katusha is charged with murder of a merchant whom she was entertaining. Katusha and the Prince win spiritual regeneration and find a happiness in sacrifice. There are many to whom the novel Is unknown but who will be glad to make the acquaintance In the photoplay of the men and women of whom Tolstoy wrote. Dolores del Rio does a splendid characterization as Katusha.

She is first an innocent peasant girl, strong with the love of life. After she finds that Dmitri has merely been playing with her affections she has a serious illness, and her baby is born dead. Thereafter she lives a life of sin, and the ravages of her career are shown on her face as she sits in the courtroom. The purity of her early life, tempered by experience, comes back alter her spiritual reawakening. To Rod La Rocque must be given much credit for his Intelligent interpretation of Prince Dmitri.

Uthers in the cast who take interesting roles are Count Ilya Tolstoy as the Old Philosopher, who gives the theme of the story as he cobbles shoes; Marc MacDer-, mott, who appears as the pleasure-loving Maj Schoenboch, and Vera Lewis as Aunt Marya. The Russian Art Choir gives a particularly fine stage presentation, singing selections from the Songs of the Flame and Russian folk songs. Hull and Spangler have a singing and dancing specialty which is pleasing. There is a Charlie Chase comedy, called Bigger Better Blondes, and some splendid pictures showing Capt Lindbergh and hls plane, The Spirit of St Louis. Rookies will be the picture next week and on the stage will be Max Fishers Band.

IRENE FRANKLIN -AT THE ORPHEUM Irene Franklin, 'famous for her red hair and presentation of character songs, entertained a capacity audience yesterday at Loews Orpheum Theatre, where she is appearing as the headline vaudeville attraction. She writes the words for her songs, and her accompanist, Jerry Jarnaglnj composes the music. Mr Jarnagin also played a few pleasing piano selections. William Ebbs, in a ventriloqulal turn, seemed to delight the crowd, and Eddls Cook and Shaw slaters presented a smart musical production. Other acts included Bob Yates and Evelyn Carson in a humorous skit, Getting Soaked; Johnny Herman, comedian, and Leach La Quinlan.

Trio in mid-air feats. On the screen is shown Lon Chaney In Mr Wu. a colorful picture of the Orient In which Mr Chaney portrays a mysterious Chinese mandarin. Reneo Adoree, in striking Chinese makeup, plays the part of hls daughter. Ralph Forbes, Louise Dresser, Gertrude Olmstead, Anne May Wong and Holmes Herbert are also in the cast.

Latest comedy, news and musical selections round out the program. SPEAKER C. HULL RAPS LEGISLATURE Special Dlffnntrh to the Globe ATHOL, May 23 John C. Hull of Leominster, speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, was the guest and speaker at the meeting of the Athol Rotary Club today. Speaker Hull in hls address said that in his opinion the best feature of the late Legislature was that it was the shortest on record.

In many respects he thought it was the poorest Legislature with which he had ever been identified with. This was due. he said, to the lack of proper cooperation between the executive and Legislative branches, and both were to blame because of it and because there had not been the spirit of compromise. Sneaker Hull spoke of the reduction of tht. State debt from about $37,000,000 to about $16,000,000 under the pay-as-you-go policy.

He spoke In highest terms of Gov Fuller and stated further that he, Gov Fuller, has the confidence of the peonle of the State. SMITH STUDENTS WOULD OSTRACIZE THE FAT ROBINS NORTHAMPTON, May 23 (A. Lack of consistency In their outlook on obesity charged against Smith College girls who yesterday were shown to have flouted all rules of diet by consuming great quantities of Ice cream and like fat-producing foods. Under the headline, "Would Ostracize Fat Robins, a petition In the Smith College weekly points out that "these bold and buxom birds strut proudly across the walks, elbowing out the less forward college girls, and depriving the quiet and law-abiding dogs of their playground. May we suggest that a dletltiau be appointed with a view to establishing a reducing tree? The president and the personnel director would no doubt be glad to serve on a temporary committee In charge of cutting down the dally quota of worms.

First time In Boston. The castr Mary Thome Ruth Shepler Effire Harold Chase Trebus Hemingway Westerman Amanda Chilton Florence Pendleton Francesca Edith Speare Pomeroy Chilton Walter Gilbert Edward Marsh. Richards Hilda Kathleen Wallace Frances Theresa Kilburn Tom Frank Charlton A thoroughly enjoyable tale of a wealthy young idler, a prevaricator of no mean ability, coming from the pen of a popular and well-known authoress of many comedy stage offerings, Clare Kummer, "Pomeroys Past, delighted last nights audience at the St James. Out of what appears to be rather flimsy material developed a play, at moments farcical in character, that held ones attention with its sparkling witticisms more than the depth, and smoothness of its plot. As the story goes, Pomeroy Chilton, the young man with a great deal of money and much leisure time to spend.

Is desirous of adopting a child from an orphanage and bringing the little girl into the home that he occupies with his stern elder sister. His motive is prompted perhaps by the unusual. rather than by true charitable spirit. Pomeroy's sister, Amanda, offers such opposition to his plan that a brilliant Idea comes to mind. He claims paternity of the child, and is permitted to bring It to his home.

Other fabrications follow the first untruth when the breath of scandal descends upon the house of Chilton. Amanda, the dominating spinster seeks the solace and counsel of her pastor, the Rev Dr Trebus Hemingway, while Pomeroy seems entirely unconcerned with, the turbulent state of affairs he has created. At the time Pomeroy adopts "his child, Edward Marsh who is a very close friend, in like manner has taken a twin brother of the first from the orphanage to raise and cherish. When the situation appears to improve a bit, a kidnaper spirits both children away, as well as an Italian girl, a servant in the house, who is revealed as the real mother of both. However, it is all for the best, we are informed because Pomeroy has awakened to the fact that he- is very much in love with a charming girl.

Always regarded as only a friend by him, now the realization dawns upon him that she means much more than that. With the final curtain, all of the rpirth-making innuendoes that are so prevalent throughout the piece are made clear, the children of the play are returned to their parents, and Pomeroy and Mary Thorne, clasped in each others arms. Walter Gilbert fitted admirably Into the character of Pomeroy and was greeted enthusiastically by the audience for his portrayal. Very charming, indeed, seemed Ruth Sh-epley, who was cast as Mary Thorne, heroine of the comedy. Jack Westerman proved amusing as the clergyman, Trebus Hemingway, and Florence Shirley carried the part of Amanda Chilton very well.
