@The rehearsals are being conducted
in Chicago and much interest is being

songs are being interpolated into the
show, the new costumes are novel and
original and, in several instances. de-
par,ures in stage creations, the chorus
evolutions are along new lines and the
cast represents degree OF talent sell
dom seen in a show appearing at pop
ular prices.
Alice Berry, the diminutive sou,
brette, will be with My Honolu Girl

chorus girls have been retained. The
new principals are players OF enYiable
fame in the east and the new chorus
girls are striking examples Of the beau
