Large Audience Sees "Hiah Life Girls"
at Odeon.
That burlesque IS popular was again
proved at the Odeon Tuesday night
when Frank Calder's High Life Girls"
appeared before an audience which
was practically capacity
That the organization is we'll named
was evidenced in the fact that the
show was full OF life from start to
finish. To be sure there were no good
voices, but there was lots of action in
the songs, and the dancing end OF the
performance was good. The comedy
was supplied by .Ambark and Sye All
of the old and well known Ali family,
Charles Collins, ard Danny" Man
ming.
Featured in the feminine array Of
talent We're Michelena Pennetti, Pauline
Russell. and Alice Armstrong. Of
these Miss Russell displayed the best
voice, but it was not out of the ordi-
nary. Miss Pennetti danced we'll. and
| Miss Armstrong; football girls son g
| proved the hit Of the evening This
arose from the fact that the ball was
| thrown out into the audience, which
| took a prominent part in knocking it
around the house The audience was
again taken into the confidence Of the
| performers when songs We're sung by
girls in the aisles. and the audience
joined in the refrain when the words
were thrown on the screen.
Willie Mack was featured in songs
and dances. He knew ali about the
latter, but his singing was painful.
By far the most artistic thing in the
performance was the music of Vincent
| Valentino pianist. and Sam Smith. who
played the banjorine. Another hit was
! made in the eccentric dancing of
| Danny" Manning with Miss Pennetti.
1t was big show for the money. and
if one cares for a lot of nonsense and
slapstick work, and doesn't care
whether it is music or attempted har-
mony, THE High Life Girls" fill the
| bill.
