Yvette made a furore that prospered
her in NV York when she sang inde-
cent ballads with gestures SO violent
that they threatened to throw her out
Of her perilously low corsage. but now
that she has improved the morals of
her songs, and behaves decorously, she
is dfsregarded. She is as ever an art

her folk songs and mildly reminiscent
ballads disappoint our young folks who
have heard what our older folks have
told them about her.

However, the new climax Is sensa-

young man of her heart and the old
man of her purse, concludes that It
isn't worth while to die for them. In
stead. she will go on the very devil of
spree. She Is in q pneumonia gown

wrap? Why. there. From behind a
sofa, where not a bit of 1t has been
seen, she brings out the climax. A
murmur of feminine voices rises and
extends to almost q roar throughout
the theatre. The new climax--gorge-
Gus, spectacular. exciting in its sud
den disclosure to women's eyes--is a
fur cloak of a thousand chinchilias.
