GAYETY.

The Million Dollar Girls" are en-
tertaining large audiences at the
Gayety this week with one of the
sprightliest burlesque shows of the
season: "In a Whirl of Pleasure"
in two acts and twelve scenes is
the title OF the skit. and there is a
heap Of good laughs, a lot of tune
full music, a coterie of clever actors,
singers and comedians, a chorus Of
girls who would make any Broadway
manager green with envy. and a
scenic and costume investiture far
above the average.
To Cliff Bragdon and Charles Mac
are intrusted the comedy roles and
this clever pair keep the audience in
an uproar every minute they are on
the stage. Winsome EIDE Mae, one OF
the most promising prima donnas
in burlesque, has a voice of charm
ing sweetness and her song num-
bers are a distinct feature. Flossie
Everett and Norma Barry are much
in evidence throughout the perform
ance, while James Peck, Harold Carr
and Harold Yates are given plenty
OF opportunity to display their tall
ents as entertainers. Yates has a
musical speciality that is pleasing.
r. Fuller Jarboe, father OF Man
ager Harry Jarboe, is directing the
orchestra of the Million Dollar
Girls" company.
