unusually good show in the Avenue

exhibition OF physical culture, exem-
plifed in some feats OF strength and
daring on the trapeZe and flying
rings. and executed with a grace and
prettiness that would win admiration
from an Anchorite. Which makes II
all the more regretable that Dainty
Marie seems to deem IL necessary 20
work in some song and monologue
which is more than suggestive and
more than mere "racy" as an opener
TO her act Her songs and her mona
logue caused the regular habitues to
chuckle, That's what call putting
some pretty raw stun across"
The fact that Dainty Marie" has
her own cute way OF putting II
across, is probably why the police
let her get away with 1t.
THE Yankee Doodle Girls" are the
attraction, and they are about as good
looking an aggregation as ever
graced the Avenue stage. In spite OF

tanned in the national humorous ditty,
