In fact it is filled to the brim with that. frankly pleasing ned1y Of c1everness, song and action which is wanted in burlesque. There is modern scenery, costumes that fit the times and please the eye, girls who show the working action es- sentiaI to snappy numbers, and di- rection which closely watches the min ute details which are sometimes sadly lacking in burIesque. There is an or iginal1ty of conception and d fresh ness to the dialogue which adds to the general pleasure.
 Drean1land opens with a handsome woodland scene in which a mansion shows plainly for entrance. Dusty Rhoades impersonated by Edward Johnson leads in comedy. Jeanette Buckley as Maggie Mooney does many stunts with brook, furniture and show el, offering a close impersonatton of a female tramp. William Mossey DOT trays an excellent German part, while Jim c.
