Messers. George Cohan and Sam Harris are due the sincere thanks of the Pine Bluff folks who filled the Elks theatre last night, for an en,tr- tainment which was a delightful treat in every respect, and of which several numbers will be remembered.
 Raymond Hitchcock has always mad the happy faculty-or is it the dis eliminating taste?--of surrounding h 'mself with girls who are pretty, cause of that factulty, jr taste, Hitchcock was not the entire show last night, although he was the one particular feature. being almost con- stantly in the spotlight. He is the same old Hitchcock, with his own peculiarly rich style of hamor and n1s wonderful ability to catch the temper of an audience. Age may maho less agile, passing yea :; h. Ve forced him to avoid attempts to sing, but he is still the humorist of the past. I, might not be bad token to wish for him, his toast 10 the audience last night.
 May you have health-gosh den@ the price of cotton, if you have health"
 After Hitchcock one might say th' play was written with a view of pre- senting a quartette of mighty good dancers, three women and man. Un fortunately, the name of the male dancer is not shown on the program. Perhaps the program man figured the dancers work would speak for itself -or maybe he was there only to act as a partner for the girls. Marion Sunshine, the Spanish girl. danced her little self into the hearts of every body last night, just as Anna Orr, as Vivion, by her eXhuherance of good spirits, her willingness and her grace fulness achieved complete victory in the opening act. Christine Mangasa- rian was the other of the girlish trio who is an expert in the terpsichorean art That trio of girls, incidentally. would make ponies" par excellence, but for their mastery of the dance. They are all wee mites, all of them each represented a different type Of beauty.
 Taken as a whole, there was noth ing to "The Beauty Shop" but Ray mond Hitchcock, the four dancers and a big company of handsome girls even more handsomely gowned, with q score or so chorus men to serve as foils. Hitchcock's spoken-song, "A1l Dressed Up and No Place to Go" was scream" Marion Sunshine's song, q Love All the Boys in the World" was most acceptable The duet by Anna Orr and Earl Benham, "Twas in September" was done so nicely that lots of girls in the audience were humming it last night. The song and dance, "I.ove's Hesitation by Christine Mangasarian and Joseph Herbert. Jr., was classy. The features, as can thus be seen, were few.
 The final act brought out one of the prettiest pieces of stagework seen here this season. Perhaps it was only one of the tricks of the pro- fession, and certainly it went over the heads of many in the audience, but it was great The fisher made fisher wives and fisher bows opened tho act, and followed "a chorus h'' dancing what was little Wore t"a'' the centuries Sailors Hornpipe' As they closed.
