ment at the Dewey.

Clever specia1ties and good singing mark
the show presented by the Dainty Duchess
company at the Dewey theater this week.
The chorus is well drilled and contains
several voices better than are usually
heard in burlesque entertainments. The
ensembles are all unique and the song
hits are attractively featured. Pretty cos
tunes and elaborate stage settings help
to round out the show. =.r
The olio is strong thruout. Hurd and
Fowler, two young women who sing and
dance, have arranged short turn that
makes an instantaneous hit, and Freder-
ick and Frederick give an excellent musi-
cal specially. James and Sadie Leonard
present a pleasing skit entitled 1.-THE
Wrong Tip" Charles Robinson has a
hobo speciality that Is not ttresome, and
Renzette and Belair are clever acrobats.
The closing burlesque gives the come
dams an opportunity to do clever work
and the costuming is the best that has
been seen in burlesque Of late.
