"A Night on a Roof Garden.
Biz Success.

I D l ought to talk abouo
the great big whopper of an act, "A
Night On a Roof Garden" at Proc
tors theatre, first, but l got to get
that boxing kangaroo's act out or
my system first. "Big Jack" is the
~kangaroo's name. When the cur
tain goes up the stage is fixed like a
| prize fighters ring. Then in hops
"Big Jack" and the fellow he ticks,
and gee, believe me, he gets some
pounding. why, big jack kicks
him clean over the ropes as fast as
he gets in-and gives him some
punches. Talk about boxing; why,
that kangaroo can lick 'em all.
Now for the big act, "a Night on
a Roof Garden" Seventeen people In
1t, most of them skirts, and all
peaches, but the main peach, Ruby
Lusby, Is a sumner, and caught on
big. The scene Is one a roof garden
and the crowd is having q bunch OF
eats that made the audience hungry,
then they get busy with songs and
dances, and say! they sure can sing.
It's a lot of catchy stuff too that
keeps your feet tapping. and your
mouth puckered up for a good whis-
tie. I'd hate to pay the bill for
those girls dresses. Gee, they are
dreams. The story is about a Texac
girl that comes to New York and
wants to butt into society. and gee,
she does make some Dreaks-but she
is a Jim dandy all right. It's a great
act and all you fellows want to see
the pretty girls and all you girls
want to see the swell fellows. The
curtain had to go up a lot of times
cause the audience was ~applauding
so much.
The Kiltre Duo are two Scotch fell
lows, who play a lot Of Instruments
that | don't>the names of, but 1t lis-
tens good anyway. They finish up
with a scratch dance and play the
bag pipe great.
Coffman & Carroll Is as neat a
singing and talking act as you want
to see. The girl has a peachy voice,
and the fellow can dance his head
off.
There are still more souvenirs In
the case in the lobby and they sure
are swell. Gee, when the girls go
home after the matinees next week
they wont look at you. The
irs are all for Easter week you know,
and the chickens and rabbits sure
will make a hit.
SO long.
