Bessie Clifford is still the 'Yama Yama

comedian who has many friends here
still essays the role of Tom Stanhope
which he created at the Whitney Opera

Theatre in New York. Minnie Allen,
who was the prima donna last season,
still essays the role and sings "Cuddle
Up Little Closer Lovey Mine" with
the same charm and sweetness which
won her such a warm place In the
hearts of amusement seekers. These
are many new and handsome gowns
displayed In the second act of this
mirthful frolic, which are said to rep
