CAYET.



Aside from the baseball season there is
one time during the year when Washing
ton business men are swamped with re-
quests for q halliday OF and married
men find Il necessary to go back to the
ONCE to finish up work. and that time Il
when Al Reeves and his Beauty Show
como to the Gayety. Next to Walter
johnson In the box. Al Reeves Beauty
Show" il the best excuse for q half
holiday, and judging from the two capac-
ity houses which greeted its opening yes
terday at the Gayety, this week will
prove no exception
Andy Lewis. Al Reeves, leila Russell,
Vera George. thirty-two "chickens' and
'broilers." plenty of fun and catchy
music are among the many reasons why
the Beauty Show Is the best on the
road. Despite Al Reeves plea in his
song hit, "Give Ne Credit. Boys" the
gallery gods by their applause clearly
indicated that the success of the per-
formance is due to that inimitable come
dian, Andy Lewis. and to leila Russell,
one Of the cleverest women In burIesque.
Aside from being pianist Of exceptional
ability Miss Russell has a good voice
and fascinating ways. Both principals
were forced to work overtime yesterday.
Believing that in femininity lies beauty
there are but three men In the cast and
thirty-four sprightly maidens. That q
chorus girls life Is one full Of changes
was proven by the elaborate wardrobe
worn by the chorus. No less than a
dozen costumes were displayed. and each
more daring and startling in their effect
than the previous one. The chorus is by
far the most attractive and best drilled
that has visited the Gayety this year.
T Although Andy Lewis, leila Russell and
the chorus are the bright spots in the
show. Al Reeves must be given credit for
coraling such a sprightly bevy Of girls,
the best comedian and the cleverest lead
ing woman in buriesoue.

Mr.. Wilson was much impressed by the
remarks of Miss Winslow, a Pennsyl-
vania textile worker. who said she was
one Of thousands Of women who had lost
their health in factory work. She gazed
steadily into the Presidents eyes while
she said that many women are forced to

SO Mrs. Evans went out and marshalled

said Mrs Evans. His hand was a poor
apology for the insult of shutting the
White House door in the faces of 3I5
women. He would not have shut the
door in the faces OF as many voters"
Miss Alice Paul, chairman OF the Con-
Kressional Union for Woman Suffrage,
made a milder expression, however, when
she said:

he was waiting for the verdict OF his
party and he commented on the strength
