Drama
Bessie Mccoy Seen at Palace
in Dancing Act
With Frills
By Haywood Broun

Bessie Mccoy was the headliner in
the ne" bill at the Palace yesterday,
where she appeared in an elaborate
dancing act. The dancing was better
Than the celebrations. Miss Mccoy is
still! altogether charming when she
dances and pleasing when she sings, T
you happen 70 ike that kind OF voice.
There is no reason, therefore, why she
should feel compelled to call upon as
sistants in khaki and magic lantern
slides Of Washington, Lincoln, Mckin
ley and Wilson. The patriotic features
OF the act were just about an eighth
of an inch deep, and, indeed, were de-
signed merely TO fill in while the
dancer changed from one costume to
another.
The Yama Yama number was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and Miss Nc
Gov was compelled to make two
speeches. The most amusing act OF the
afternoon was furnished by Ben Ryan
and Earriette Lee. Their sklt IS called
"You've Spoiled IT. Vaudeville patrons 5
know it better under the old tltic OF
Hats and Shoes The humor IS prlnl,l-
tive but none the less engaging. Only
the cynical will keep straight races

the straw hat of her partner MISS
