Crawford is as entertaining as ever,
finding as little difficulty in pleasing

the same lines as that presented by
Sophie Tucker. but whereas Miss Tucker
appeals to the ear alone Miss Seeley
appeals 70 both the eve and the ear
She makes two senses grow where but
one grew before with tho aid OF some
exotic dancing and some Jazz" songs
that are admirably suited to her voice
and personality.

operas succeeded. but only through
singing a ragtime song as the finish
to his act 1t Is interesting to note
that his best numbers were not so ia
