Babe La Tour. the sprightly soubrette
who is featured with Bert Bakers Bon
Ton Burlesquers at the Gayety Theater
this week. is a young woman Of Wonder
full personality. talent and an expert
horsewoman
Miss La Tours talents have caused her
to be veritably bombarded with offers
from Broadway managers. you may
think 1t rather peculiar" she said at the
Gayety last night. that T have not ac-
cepted the offers that have been made
me. for it seems to be the generally ac-
cepted idea that vaudeville and musical
production engagements are vastly to be
desired over burlesaue. But I have ex-
ceptionally good reasons for preferring
burlesque.
In the first place. / can go on the
stage with Mr.. Baker and am not afraid
of word or action being said or done
that would offend any lady in the audi
ence. He will not allow such a condition
to happen in his company. Secondly,
this show Is the best one on the entire
burlesque wheel. 1t helps a whole lot to
be with a show that pleases 20 per cent
Of its patrons.
Besides. 1 get as large a salary as

New Mthod of Sending Radfogrnm
