I AMUSEMENTS Variety Is Feature of Weeks Bill at Pantages rpHE adroitness with which the United States secret service weaves its net about the German spy system in this country is graphically presented in a tensely dramatic sketch, "The Nation's Peril," which is billed as the headliner of Pantages new show which opened yesterday yester-day afternoon. The action of the playlette is of the rapid-fire variety, punctuated -here and there with less tense moments in which the American woman secret service agent pretends love for the secret agent of the Maremont government, whose machinations machina-tions to destroy the United States fleet she wholly uncovers. The acting of the members of the cast is highly creditable. Operatic vocalists and instrumentalists of the first order comprise the Giuliani sextette, who sang selections from' the more popular grand operas with great effectiveness. . The duet of "The Rosary" was. sung with unusual charm by two women members of the company. A special favorite with yesterday's audience au-dience was Lew Wilson, who is designated as "The Variety Boy," and who is all that I this title implies, and more. He sings two of his own song hits with much eclat. His yodling is delightful. He can tell a funny story with restraint and as a mimic he is entertaining. For an encore he played the accordion. ; Orren and Drew presented a barnyard 1 skit, in which the male member of the j team showed much ability at giving imi- 1 tations. 1 The Crewell-Fanton company presented j I ,m innovation in acrobatic acts, Intro- j , ducing the military idea. They worked : with great abandon, dispensed bon mots , during the performance of their feats on i the trapeze and put punch into the wind- 1 up of the bill. The show opened with the Salt Lake . diving girls, who were better divers than they were models. As a bathing suit fashion show the opening number was a fiasco: as an aquatic exhibition of amateurs, ama-teurs, it passed. Interluding the bathing girls came Baby 1 ! Perrindton, the tinfest tot in vaudeville, who put over her songs like a veteran and proved a great favorite. The Pantages screen weekly, showing current events, concluded an entetaining bill. Famous Author's 'Viviette, to Be the Attraction at the Paramount-Empress Paramount-Empress Today. VIVIAN MARTIN, in her latest Paramount Para-mount picture, "Viviette," has a part that is admirably suited to her charms. She enacts the character of a pretty little boarding school girl, who returhs to her home at Ware Manor in England to have three men of widely different types fall in love with her. One is Dick Ware, a strong, somewhat primitive man; another is his brother, Austin, a young London barrister, and the third is Lord Ban-stead. Ban-stead. How these three men. fight for her hand, and the complications which "the struggle brings about, make this a most engaging story. The picture, which will be shown at the Paramount-Empress theater the-ater today, was scenario! zed by Julia Crawford Ives from the novel by William J. Locke.
