GENEE CHIEF CHARM

Dainty Little Dancer Successfully Carries New Musical

Up for Absence of Plot and Bright Lines

Der of others, whose names are more
or less familiar, not to mention some
OF The bellies themselves, are in the
cast
Ole OF the various shortcomings OF
the production IS the lack of a sem
blance of a plot that Is supposed to
be essential even to q musical comedy
Just what It is ali about no one seems
70 know. and there are times during
some OF the musical numbers that no
one really cares.
The production is well staged and the
costumes are stunning The trick
scenery in the first act is enough OF
a novelty to be interesting.
When one takes into consideration
that THE Bachelor Bellies Is but an
added attraction provided for those who
came TO see the Incompatible Genee,
one rannOt but be satisfied with the
Offering at the National for the week
before Christmas.
