1.-THE Girl From Luxembourg" the
Clamage attraction for the last half
of the week, made its debut at the
Novelty Thursday matinee. Clamage
played the part of a German and did
justice to it. Taken at several angles,
Clamage is a pretty fair comedian and
works off his refreshing E''gags'' with
a lot of success. His work in 1.-The
Girl From Luxembourg was no excep-
ton.
Mabel Faleer was stunningly ar
rayed in several gowns in the tabloid
and her singing numbers were good.
Other members of the company in
cluded AL Zimmerman, Frank Carey,
ON Hayes, Jack Prescott, Katherine
Ross and last of but vastly i'm
portant, the chorus ladies.
One entertaining portion of the bill
was a solo, Game of Love-" by Pres
colt, which was warmly received. The
quartet and trio harmony in the sec
ond act were excellent. The sea bath
ing scene between the two acts was
realistic and showed the girls of the
show bathing on the surf. 1.-The Girl
From Luxembourg is filled with clever
comedy and happy songs. 1t will be
repeated tonight and Saturday.
