PLAZA

Those who could not find plenty of opportunities for laughter in ''The New Leader's the P1aza's headline attrac- tion for the latter half of the week, are not on good terms with their sense of hunor, if, indeed, they have any at all, for the act is positively the fun niest seen in a. local play house in months. Jack Delman as the new leader, who nobly comes to the front and directs the orchestra, when the regular leader goes on strike, was a, live wire of nnirth and the manner in which he directed the rehearsal of the various acts was responsible for a. continual roar of laughter at yester~ days performances. There are seven people in the cast.
 Gilmore & Castle, two clever young eccentric comedians in a singing, talk ing and dancing skit that was greatly appreciated had an important spot. a funny dialect.
 WoIsey & Mehr, a boy and girl in a neatly arranged offering of song and dance with just a little comedy chat ter interspersed and all under the title of After a Blowout" met with tn- sta1at success.
 Robee & 3Robee, two pretty dansels endation for the snappy manner in which they presented their up-to-date offering. They have pleasing voices and their wardrobe is beautiful.
 fstHearts and Masks a stirring film version of Harold MacGrath,s famous parts. So clever1y is the plot carried through that interest is held at a high pitch to the climax. 1 Charlie Chaplin in Twenty Minutes of Love- and t'The Ruaways'' make up the remainder Of the attractions.
