RITA GOULD BRIGHTENS
NEW UILL AT THE LYRIC

II remained for refreshing Rita
Gould to save the Lyric bill from COM
piete duliness last night and she came
to the rescue none too soon. Before
she left for the evening she was forced
to give q little curtain speech. Miss
Gould is attractive and her winning
personality and pleasing voice are ca
pabie OF making her the hit OF any
vaudeville bill. She sang Ave numbers
and for each wore an exquisite gown
Her last song was Irving Berltns
Send Me Away with a Smile" Not
only was this and her other numbers
rendered faultiessly. but she surprises
everyone when she uncovers back
ground OF an American and French
flag as the lining to her whtte-silk
