marked.
This act is featured with heavy
scenery and costumes that are ap-

a great deal of attention when six
nimble nymphs appear in bare feet
and execute their dances. The mem
bers of the cast are recently from the
New York Winter Garden, where they
appeared for many months as head
line act.
Mae Curtis was warmly received in
her songs and laughs, representations
and clever chatter. At the piano as
sisting her was Leo Zehler, whose ac-
compartments were most enjoyable.
