PRETTY stage GIRLS
COMING IN "OH, boy"
Belasco Offers Rare Treat of
Beauty August 13.

When ''Oh. Boy" the fourth and
most successful OF the Princess The
ater musical offerings, comes to the
Belasco Theater for an engagement
of one week, commencing Monday
evening. August 13, under the direc-
ton OF the Comstock-E Elliott Company,
the playgoers of this city will see
two dozen of the youngest and pret-
tiest girls ever seen on the stage in
one production. They will be new
faces, too, because not one of the
girls in the ''Oh, Boy" company was
ever on the stage before.
Another interesting feature is the
fact that each girl will have an in
dividual and different gown suited and
fitted to her particular personality.
Messrs. Comstock and E..iott do not
believe in choruses in the old sense
Of the term. Every girl in their en-
seL1ble is treated as a principal. Each
girl has a line to say and a gown
of color and design to suit her in
dividGelity and personality. There's
a model for the most fashionable, as
well as the most conservative dresser
and the pretty girls OF the "Oh, Boy
company display them to their best
advantage.
"Oh. Boy" comes to the Belasco
Theater with the reputation Of one
years run at the Princess Theater,
New York. where 1t has been playing
to capacity, with seats selling for
months to come. 1t Is the most phe-
nomenal success New York has had
in twenty years.

at the celebrated Hanaayga School
in Toxic. he studied at the Dalcrose
school in Dresden. one of the most
famous Of the European dancers
schools. Itow is also pantomimist
OF rare accomplishments. The Lon
don Sketch thus describes him: "A
face without a smile-a wonderful
haunting tace-a face out of a screen
or a fan-a tremulous, twitching
mask Remarkable as are the regu-
lated contortions of his dancing.
much more fascinating are the fitful
phases OF his physiogomy."
Itow's repertory embraces a dozen
numbers, of which three of his most
intricate and extraordinary viii be
shown here in association with Mr..
BoIm. Roshanara. the East Indian
dancer. Rattan Devi, interpreter Of
foIk-songs and music of the Far
East and a variety of other features
Including a symphonic orchestra and
corps de ballet. The organization
numbers thirty-five people, and this
city is one of half a dozen of the
famous resorts included in the itin-
erary, which is under the patronage
of a number of social leaders in New
York and in the points visited.
