PANTAGES GIRLS CHARM "GARDEN OF THE RAJAH" UM41E OFFERING THAT DELIGHTS, Joe Jack-son and Jane Barber Provoke Many Laugha, nntl Others) urn In teresting: Hill Are Good. Rich in Oriental coloring, sparkling with entrancing dances and harmonious music and songs. "The Garden of the Rajah," the headline attraction at Pan tages this week, offers an attraction that bids fair to pack the house at every performance. A bevy of pretty, graceful girls dance and sing for the Rajah (Charles Kent). David Reese, the star, who appears in the garden and falls in love with one of the fair ones, possesses a wonderfully fine voice and is a master at the art of dancing. The elaborately staged offering is a vehicle to display the talents of the capable cast. The tallest and thinnest and the funniest ever is Joe Jackson, who, with Jane Barber, plump and pretty, pre sents an act of mirth and melody most entertaining. Florence Modena and Charles Gard ner have a lively little satire entitled "Bargain Mad." Florence works hard in her wild quest for bargains and proves her right to big shares of ap plause. Akin. Figg and Duffy, three jolly fellows in natty attire, sang "The Lost Chord" and several popular songs that won for them, at each appearance yes terday, a storm of approval. One of the boys has an unusually good tenor voice. A spectacular act, well costumed and with fine scenic effects, is given by the three Shentons. two men and a girl, all first-rate singers, dancers and entertainers. The cowboy dance with lasso encircling the dancer was a clever feature. A Keystone comedy and music com plete the big bill that will run all week. FINE BILL IS PRESENTED EVERY ACT AT EMPRESS THIS WEEK DECLARED WINNER. "The Auto Bandit" Is Thrilling Melo drama and Racing Scene 11 rings Down HoiiNe. There can be no two varying opin ions about this week's Empress bill. It's all good, all new and rapid-fire throughout from the feature pictures that open the bill to the Headline act. The latter is a melodramatic and exciting sketch which Roland West has sent. "The Auto Bandit" is its title and suggests the nicely woven , little story of an auto thief who lives a dou ble life. It ends with a race between the thief in a stolen motor and the brave hero on a motorcycle. The race brings wild applause. It is staged like the "Ben Hur" race, on tracks with a panorama of fields and trees and houses whirling past as the two motor ists chug along the road. The story is one of intrigue and elopements, of almost murder, and a heroine who ac cepts the auto bandit's love until she finds he is unworthy, when she flees to the motorcycling "cop." Fred Lewis, as the hero, plays with excellent abil ity. Individuality personified is Madge P. Maitland, who looks like Ray Samuels and is an electric spark. She sings original songs, makes fun of herself and makes fun for us. Her clothes are smart, her voice is tuneful, she is tal ented and magnetic. Madge was back for half a dozen recalls. "Dancing around. just dancing around" are the two Kennedys, boy and girl, in the maddest, whirling, dashing dance ever stepped on the Empress stage. They are like human spinning tops and present an amazingly rapid trio of novelty dances. Chris Richards calls himself an Eng lish "gink." He is an eccentric come dian, full of pepper, who Charlie Chap- linizes a bit in his dancing steps.
