11., and they will fly to the theatre bear ing congratulations of local officials. Not a few changes have taken place at Brighton Beach since the handsome playhouse presided over by George Robinson supplanted tho old Bauer's Hotel and transformed a desolate section of the shore front into a brilliant blaze of night lights. One of these Is the passing of the ancient Brighton Beaoh Music Hall, now in the hands of the wreckers, and with only a portion of the stage remaining to recall the feud that existed between the two manage ments when the Ocean Parkway structure threw Open Its doors. The Music Hall was the property of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com pany and was operated by the Intercity Car Advertising Company, a subsidiary. The Music Hall manage ment resented the coming of the modern theatre, so much so, in fact, that it sought an injunction to restrain the Robinson emporium from using the "Brighton" name, and, as a further indication of its displeasure, refused to permit Its express trains to stop nt the Ocean Parkway station alongside the New Brighton.

Time, the great healer, caused the hatchet to be buried a good many years ngo. Since those days. too. Pat Kooney has climbed the vaudeville ladder to the very top rung, and he feels a sentimental attachment for the show-house. Because of this close association he requested George Robinson to advance his annual engagement so that he might participate in the anniversary celebration.

He was originally scheduled for the first week in July, but by a rearrangement of bookings, also necessitating a replacement in Pittsburg. Pat will be the master of ceremonies. And those who remember his own birthday party last year, will admit that Pat Rooney knows how to celebrate. Avon Comedy Four To Be Starred Bffore Tons: tlic Avon Comedy Four, who headline at the Kettb Orpheum Theatre, this week will be starred In their own musical show- just as the Kour Marx Brothers have been established in a musical hit after playing vaudeville for years and- years. In the two-a-day the Avon Comedy Four Is considered the most side-splitting act in the current music hall.

It Is fast and furious in its fun and moves like a laughing tornado. The quartet Is always amusing. They are what show liusl ness calls "sure fire." They have Hist returned to Keith Vaudeville after being starred in a revue and their popular act has been brought up to the minute. It is still "A ltungariun Rhapsody" with the scenes laid In a goulash restaurant and at the office of Pr. Krankhiit.

It Is a masterpiece ot clowning, son? and eccentric dancing. The Avon Comedv Four Is the "big four" of quartets. Their success was gained. of course, through the abilities of the Individuals who composed the quartet. Joe Smith and Charles Dale were Its originators and have been with it ever since Its Inception.

The other two memlers have been changed from time to time. Arthur Fields, famous singer for the records, and Harry Goodwin, another populur favorite are no wthe co-workers with Smith and Pale.

He was the first to give the equivalent of a three-hour legitimate show In tabloid form by speeding up, condensing, cutting out all padding, and reducing the entertainment to essentials. At Hamnierstein's Victoria, in 1903, Mr. Kdwards produced the first vaudeville revue with a cast of forty artists. It ran a little over an hour, and was a sensation, establishing new standards for the two-a-day. Since then Mr.

Edwards has remained at the head of the field, producing each season a new revue for the B. F. Keith and the Orpheum circuits. Out of Mr. Edwards' cast and choruses many legitimate and movie stars have developed and he has discovered composers who have risen to eminence.
