17 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1922. In Brooklyn Theaters MOTORCARS FOUND WRECKED IN WOODS Flappers and At Flatbush Youths Revel "Lonely Club PYRENE IF EXPERTS FIND IT DANGEROUS FANNIE BRICE HEADS GOOD BILL AT NEW BRICHTON Vaudeville hns no liner artiste than Fannie Brlce. At the New Brighton Theater, beginning a week last night, she sings typical Itrlco songs, written by Blanche Merrill, songs So written as to give Miss Price opporiunltles to exhibit her unique and delicious coin-tcalltlcs. Her act Is varied, fast, ami of the highest quality.

In "Second Hand Hose," she Intersperses those flashing lilts of Jewish characterization throughout the bathos of the lament with astonishing effect. "The Yiddlshrr Is an echo from her familiar "Yiddlnher Vampire," as Is the Hollywood vnnip role. Which doesn't mean, though, that they aren't welcome, delightful, As Jewish blue-bell of Scotland she Is nt her boat, new In Idea for her and cleverly done. A new song Is one about a Florodora girl who married for love nnd Is now raising another sextet. The last number Is the nllri'iiig "My Man." The rest or the New Brighton bill this week is above the average too.

Miss Patrlcola, the Jazz song singer, popular. Her selections are capably presented, pretty gnod piitertalnnient. A singing sketch called "The Little Production," with Mill llalby, Lynn Cowan nnd Kstelle Davis In It. is uncommon In design niul was well received. The llrnj act of the evening wns Paul Nolan, the Jesting Swede, a wizard with the two-gallon hat, but too easily coaxed into springing 1 wheezes.

William Sully and Genevieve Houghton appear In a new net, "Calf Love," which la nolhlng distinctive. Their playlet started oil' with some semblance of an Idea, but the bleu died. Warren and O'Brien In "Bits of Eccentricity" have one of those acts In which ono pulls the id Iter's coat up at tho end of every joke. Has the young people's group of the Get-Together Club of the Flat-bush Community Center developed into a Monday night dancing club? A visit to tle Casino In Prospect Park last evening would cause an answer In the affirmative, while Mrs. Florence Updegraff, an organizer of the People's Institute, and Mrs.

Robert Mat ron, the hostess of the evening, answer in the negative. Dancing was the main indoor diversion of the evening, while necking and hugging parties were enjoyed upon the benches of the shaded walks. The finale-hopper and srandaler have come into their own through the organization which was started for the purpose of forming acquaintances, comradeships and friendships. The "Camel's Walk," "The Sheik," and "Scandal Walk" held sway and were evidently enjoyed by the young poo-ple. The music was provided by a bungalow type phonograph.

Nobody Lonely. The spirit of loneliness was nowhere evident. One under-nourlshod, over-growing appearing youth with auburn hair was greeted with the cognomen, "Hello, Shirt!" He appeared to be a prime favorite with both sexes, und upon Having one group would be immediately surrounded by another. The main topic of conversation during the fading twilight was a house party-held on Sunday evening. From tho casual remarks overheard it was made manifest that the affair was not regarded as a distinctive success.

"It was rotten," "It was on the bum!" were answers a number of times to the question "How did you like the party?" Girls Puff Cigarettes. A casual survey shows that the membership of the Get-Together Club Is drawn from the various high schools in the immediate vicinity of Prospect Park. This was made, evident not Canvass Indicates 50-50 Sentiment on New Home 9 only in conversation with a number of those present, but also in the manner in which the groups formed for the passing of further personal quips and gibes. The cigarette was used by a number of girls as an evidence of personal acquaintanceship and familiarity. A group of throe girls, in particular, from the expressions formed upon their faces, got real enjoyment out of the weed.

The evening was further productive of a spirit of the "gang" method for settling either fancied or existing wrongs. A large croup of yonng fellows' imbued with this spirit were present to wreak their vengeance upon another group of eight, who It wan Claimed severely chastised one of the former on last Mpnday evening for having "butted In" on their party. The carrying out of this scheme for revenge was frustrated by the appear-once of two policemen. Women Defend Club. Membership In the young people's group was gained Inst evening through the payment of 50 cents at the door.

In addition to participation privileges in tha affairs of the club, it entitled the members to refreshment? following the sociable. Keen disappointment was felt last evening, how. as the dealers in charge of both the Ice cream ana soaa rciuseu 10 deliver it. Both Mrs. Updegraff and Mrs.

Mar-ron arc loud In their praises for Mil future of the "Lonely Club," especially as It will affect persons of mature years who find themselves lit this horo without either friends or acquaintances. A number of letters seeking Information have been, received during the past few days. They are busy devising ways and menmi of creating and holding the attention of the voting folks In well worth while endeavors to the end that dancing will not be paramount. Fifteen new members were admitted laat evening. will prove a nuisance, and therefore ippose Its presence.

Comments as follows were made by persons living in the block: "I have absolutely no objections. Children have the right to live and must live." "I can And no cause for complaint yet. I will wait until the children arrive and see how they behave before I tako any side." "It makes no difference to me one way or the other, but if the majority of my neighbors object I feel it my duty to stand with them." "If I had known this whs coming I would never have bought here. Now I shall move the first opportunity I get." "Let tho youngstrs come by all means. Any person so soured that he falls to hear muse In the laughter of playing children can never be much good to any community himself." Concerning this subject, Mrs.

Clara Boyer, superintendent of tho Hope-weil Society said yesterday: "I do not think wo will have any opposition when the people realize what we arc doing here. Our home Is going to be conducted as little like an institution as possible, and I think everyone will be agreeably surprised." Father Who Chained Son, 9, to Fire Escape Held by Court Charged with keeping his 9-year ild son.

Andrew, who was found chained to a fire escape at his homo by the police Sunday night, Is under the care of the Children's Society. Karo chained the lioy up, he said, to keep him from running away.

They marie up rlpht on the stnire nnd set up a minstrel scene, with an interlocutor and end men.

Joseph K. Noreross, 81 yenrn old, was the middle man, his old place in tho group, and lie sunn his song which wns a hit many years bro, "Asleep in the Deep." Jnmes U. Brad-Icy, Cloorare YV. Cunningham, Al Kd-wards and Kddfe. lloran each did Ills old-time specialty.

Eddie lloran doing some clever danclnjr. Friinlt Clahy. in "On nnd Off," has some new quips, but still does hl3 ventriloquism, which is good. Oull-foyle and Lang add to tho fun, the former having a humorous voice, while Miss Lang changes her costumes frequently nnd has some stpnnlng ones. Cartmell nnd Harris havo a novel act, mostly dancing, and it gets a good deal of applause.

"Dreams" is a farily good living plcturp act. Thornton Flynn, with Dena 'Caryl, gives an act called "Comparison," In which he shows the difference between phonograph nnd the natural voice. The net lakes well. Al Hlmyno calls himself tho "singing beauty," and succeeds in being quite humorous. Lois Josephine and Elsie Lnnge did not appear, their pluces being taken by Con-lon nnd fllass.

who have a lot of fool-Ishnoes but Becm to please the audience. There are the usual flllers-ln and the whole program is an unusually KVd ono. TED LEWIS AND MAE WEST TOP WEEK'S ORPHEUM BILL Ted Lewis and hlB jazzlcat clowns made tho audience at tho Orpheum last night s't up and take notice. People are apparently beginning to tako their jazz more nnd more seriously, and a new school of music seems rapidly to be growing out of this Intoxicating rind unorthodox form of syncopation. Tod made, a real hit, which Is not surprising.

In view of the fact that he serves Jazz straight, with a bit of Sousa for a chaser. the headline honors with this so-called "high-hatted tragedian of song" was Mae West in "Hits of Musical Comedy," with Harry Hichman at tho piano. May wns little less than a riot In that historic song, "You Don't Havo to He Beautiful if You've tlot Terhniquo." has both. Khe admits she plays men like Harry Rich-man plnvs tho piano, nnd that's saying something. Pushing close to Mae and Harry were George Moure and Mary with a number of still funny old gags served up in a new wily.

Johnny Murke in a monologue entitled "Drafted" kept 'cm laughing until they were soro and wanted to cry. He didn't know enough to stop. Harry Lnughlln and Clara West presented a pleasing miniature mimical comedy cnilci "The Lit to "lip, the balancing dog, rendered a grnceriiiH performance for so fat an aniniai. Wveth nnd Wynn got a lot of applause fnr mime noor sinitine. Nat Nnzarro and company, with Huck and Bubbles as a closing net, Kept tno nuoience the theater until 11:30.

They presented the anomaly In vaudeville Inst act that no ono walks out on. THRILLS AND MORE THRILLS IN STRAND PICTURE There are more thrills In "The Fast Mail," the feature this ween at tne Strand, Brooklyn, than in the average throe-rlnK circus. The story starts with a steeplechase race at Natchez, nrl In the neck-and-neck finish one of the gentlemen riders bumps the other and the winner is allowed to get away with it because his sister is to marry the chap he bumped. This yellow-streaked scion bf an old Southern family needs money, so with the aid of a couple of friends of his own type and a professional gambler the race is framed. When the cheated man, who incidentally is a cowboy from Montana, loams the facts things begin to happen, and In the opening quarrel the professional gambler Is killed.

Then follow the thrills. The heroine, Eileen Percy, is pretty enough to have been the cause of much of the excitement. As a contrast to this film there Is an exquisite nature bit by Bruce called "My the usual Topical, with views of the Brooklyn Elks at the recent convention; a Tony Sarg A1-manac and a genuinely funny- Mermaid comedy, labelled "Spooks." The musle is especially good. Tho orchestra plays selections from "The liuth Watson, contralto, and Mary Fabian, soprano, sing operatic arias; Georges Du tenor, has a solo, and Louiso Boslet dances. BETH BERI AT HENDERSON'S Beth Beri, (lancer, Is the head- liner at Henderson's Theater, Coney Island, for the first part of this week.

MIVis Bert, assisted by two partners, performs several dillioult and Intri cate dances. Others on the bill are Tsen Mel, a Chinese girl singer, who wins applause by her imitations of farmyard animals; Bissett ann Scott, a pair of novelty dancers who are well received: Luckie and Harris, comedians and Bingers, and McCoy and Walters in a comedy skit. "Tho Primitive Lover," a film which has many amusing moments and in which Constance Talmadge and Kenneth Harlan have leading roles. Is the cinema attraction. FINE FILM AT KEENEY'S The very beautiful Ruby do Remer in "Tho Unconquered Woman" is the feature film at Kceney's tho first part of the week.

It is a story which begins 4n the frozen north and reaches Its climax in the said-to-be-gay night life of New York, a film full of thrills and love. The vaudeville consists of Doree's Celebrities, Howard and Denny, comedians, and Thirty Pink Toes. For tho last of the week Bebe Daniels and Jack Holt will appear in "North of the Rio Grande." There will be tho usual vaudeville. ALICE LAKE IN HATE ON BILL AT METROPOLITAN A good picture and a long vaude ville bill make up the program at the Metropolitan Theater for the first part of this week. The film is "Hate," in which Alice Lake and ConraJ Nagel play.

There Is a murder and, naturally, a murder mystery. The best of the vaudeville Is a "nut team," Harry Steppe and Harry O'Neal, Brazilian Nuts." The Seven Olas. gow Sisters In a Scotch revue, Arthur Devoy and company in a one-act comedy called "Broken Promises," La Vine, Rrtz and company in a dancing act, and the Donald Sisters complete the "bill. Jane Green and Jlmmle Blyier, tno syncopating tea, from the "Midnight Rounders, head the vaudeville hill for the latter part of the week. The film attraction will be "Tho Stroke of Midnight." Throws Self From Window In a fit of despondency because her sisters did not care for her.

according to the police, Lena Reinlkoff, a 13-year-old girl living at 424 Livonia threw herself from the window of the first floor of her home to th" sidewalk 10 feet below, pr. Kelly took her to St. Mary's Hospital, where it was found that sue had fractured her Itit leg. Cars Partly Burned All' Marks of Identification Removed. (Uprrlat to Tht" F.tiQlr) Patchogue.

L. July 18 While picking huckleberries on the Tangier property, Joshua Budd. a local garage in in, and John Waldron stumbled upon pieces of Iron In the underbrush. In-vemlgntlon proved them parts of different. iiKit.ircars.

Close by, at, the rear of a vacant housn on the Tangier bonjevard. they found two chassis of well known makes ef cars stripped of every mark of Identification. About B0 feel Hie dense underbrush, a recently smashed eight cylinder motor, the pnrt containing Its number mlasliig. A short dlstanre from where the machines hail been abandoned and wrecked the renin His of a tire were found. Tho tops nf the cars had been burned, nothing remained hut tho door knobs and other metal parts.

The parties who bad been engaged In destroying tho ears had used the vacant house as their headquarters, gaining an entrance by cutting a hole In one of the windows, nnd opening the ca ti-h. The scene Is about two miles south of the Mnntnuk Highway. The road In front of the house Is seldom traveled. Build declares the work of demolishing tho cars Iioh been of recent dfiflo; In fact, the engine parts were not riiHly despite their closeness to the bav and II consequent duuipni'sa. HlHtrlct Attorney I.eltoy Young wa notified of the lind and has placed one of his deputies on the case to trace the origin of the cars and if possible learn if they were stolen ones.

Extinguishers Not Yet Removed From Subway Cars-Prof. 01- sen Defends Them The Pyrene fire extinguishers have ot been taken out of the subway cars the Interboro Rapid Transit -'ompany, and will not be removed mtll the Transit Commission Issues an veer to that effect, it was learned to- According to Commissioner Leroy T. Harkness the order given by President Frank Hedley was misunderstood. "Mr. Hedley did not order the Pyrene fire extinguishers to be removed from the Interboro subway cars," said Mr.

Harkness. "The order Mr. Hedley did give on the day after the recent subway accident was that the Pyrene Are extinguishers should not be played on an active electric arc, In case of a fire, while the investigation to determine the cause of the accident was under way. Therefore the subway is not without fire protection." The experts from the United States Bureau of Mines, who are making a thorough investigation for the Commission to find out if the Pyrene tire extinguisher is a dangerous contrivance when brought in contact with an active electric arc such as rcsulls from a short circuited motor, will nubmlt a preliminary report to the Commission within a few days, it was ealrl. The Transit Commission, It was announced, has the utmost faith in the ability of these expert chemists.

"If the Federal investigators should make an adverse report," Commissioner Harkness was asked, "will the Commission issue an order to the Interboro Company to take the device cut of its subway cars forthwith?" "Certainly," he replied. "But in that case another type of fire extinguisher would have to be adopted as otherwise the Interboro subways would be without lire protection?" he was asked. "We'll cross that bridge when wo come to it," he said. A committee of city officials appointed by Mayor Hylan is also conducting Investigation of the Pyrene fire extinguisher, but thus far the committee has made no report. A short circuit on an empty six-car train shortly after noon yesterday tied up traffic for 23 minutes on the Lexington ave.

subway. Fire broke out along the tracks of the subway from S6th to 109th Manhattan, but there were no accidents as a result except that an 11-year-old girl suffered slight abrasions of one leg. The fire was put out without the use of pyrene. Prof. Olscn Defends Pyrone.

J. C. Olsen, professor of chemical engineering at Polytechnic Institute, In a letter to The Eagle on pyrene Bald today: "A short circuit and the resulting fire of unusual intensity having occurred and having been extinguished by the timely aid of one of these extinguishers, and some of the passengers having been overcomo by the smoke, fumes, heat, excitement or unusual exertion incident to such an accident, the conclusion is hastily reached that all the discomfort to the passengers was due to the agency used so effectively to extinguish the fire, and that these safety devices should be removed from the subway cars. "This remedy seems about as sensible as the proposition to remove lifeboats from vessels because it not Infrequently happens that passengers are Injured or even lose their lives when lifeboats are lowered from the Bides of sinking vessels. "Your correspondent Is a chemist ty training and life-long experience nnd has studied and experimented with many of the common poisonous pases and made very exhaustive studies of the use of the Pyrene extinguishing liquid and has made many analyses of the gases given off when this liquid is used to extinguish all kinds of fires, including the electric ere which is produced during a short circuit.

The surprisingly small amount of virpor of the Pyrene liquid which is sufficient to extinguish a fire of any sort has always been a lource of astonishment. In the presence of this vapor a Are will ot lrn even though there is plenty of oxygen present for combustion and sufficient for breathing purposes. 'Suffocation of people cannot take place from lack of oxygen. The Pyrene. vapor itself is not poisonous to human beings, neither is It irritating or disagreeable.

The only Irritating gases which could arise from the Pyrene liquid would be decomposition products and here again as a chemist I am surprised at the emn'l amouit of lecomposlt'on. "There are always present In the gases resulting from the extinguishing of fires with Pyreno considerable amounts of carbon monoxide. This Is a deadly and dangerous poison, but it is prod need by the fire itself, and does not result from the process of i rivf. oi exunguKinniB w.c nre ine longer tne fire is allowed to burn the more of this deadly gas will be produced, while if the Are is extinguished quickly the amount formed will bo small. In the confined of a subway car It is of the greatest, importance that a fire be extinguished with the least loss of time.

There Is no Are extinguisher known by means of which an electrical fire may be so certainly and so quickly extinguished as by the Pyrene fire extinguisher. "By far the most disagreeable and Irritating odors are given off bv the burning of the usual electrical insulation. The acrid fumes given off will quickly overcome most people. It Is most Important to Immediately extinguish such a fire to avoid serious consequences The stream of Pyrene which so quickly extinguished the electric short circuit at the same time stops the burning of the insulation. No other extinguisher will accomplish both of these desirahle objects so quickly and so surely.

I have no hesitation in affirming that the removal of the Pyrene fire extinguisher would render the subway cars far more dangerous in case of accident than could, possibly be the result from their use."

THE PLANTATION REVUE' Florence Mills was recalled half a dozen times to repeat a single lino In "The Plantation Revue," which opened at the 48th St. Theater last night. In itself It wasn't much of a line as regards cither words or melody. "See them light-brown babies come," it ran, or something to that effect.

But it 'acted as a cue for the appearance on tho stage of Miss Mills' Six Dixie Vamps, being light-brown negro girls as Hawaiian dancers. They danced, and the male portion of the audlenco registered its approval that ns vamps they were an undoubted success. A Judicious display of unquestionably well formed brown bodies, of varying shades of brown, made, up one of the chief attractions of the Revue. Will Vodory's orchestra with its jazz of many shadings was another. Edith Wilson's songs were another.

And of course a plantation revue of any kind could not exist without "Old Black Joe," "Swanee River" and such old-time favorites, Jazzed up to lit the last mood in syncopation. Some time somebody will get together an all-negro coinpany'and put them on the stage with a real play to act. With only a hodge-podge of a revue to work on. the company last night showed lis racial histrionic Inclinations. Even the orchestra members acted, with twitches of the eye brow and movements of the shoulders, and the members of the negro chorus could give a poinler or two to Broadway's white chorines.

Shelton Brooks, as master of ceremonies, was guilty of a number of jokes of the vintage immediately following tho cruise of Noah's ark, but very wisely the appeal of the revue was not made on humor, but on much more primitive things, such as the rhythms of a saxophone and a dancer's body.
