To elephantine Charles Wright has
1 been assigned one of those uproari-
ously funny parts which no actor can
better portray-that OF "Pansy", q
| newly rich woman who aspires to So
ciety. In the Show of Wonders. His
scene in an upper berth Of a Pullman
Is quite the most laughable thing Mr..
Wright has ever done. The Howard
brothers-Eugene and Willie have
evolved a new and pretentious opera
] tic travesty in which they sing the
roles Of "Amato and Tomato"
respectively. Tom Lewis as Hector,
the husband of Pansy is as funny as

OF q few years ago. Other prominent
actors in the SHOW Of Wonders, are
Sidney Phillips, White and Clayton,
Ernest Hare, Dan Quinlan. Edmund
Mulchaney, Jacque Kujawsd and
Arthur Davis. The dainty. youthful
and delightful Flora Lea heads the
feminine contingent. appearing in
many roles, and doing the solo dances
in the ballet advertisements Other
Broadway beauties in the cast are
Adele Ardsley, Patsie OHearn,
Virginia Smith, Myrtle Victorine and
Irene ZOlar.
The "show Of Wonders" has the

thriller OF them all in over the Top.

lutte height Of realism.
