show, the "Revue OF Revues,
Ziegfelding Of past successes, plus

Cave Girl" comedy.
by George Middleton, co-author OF
Polly With a Past" Lola Fisher
in the title role Robert McWade and
Russ Whytal are in the notable cast.
The play is laid in the Maine woods
far from any habitation. A group OF
society people, accustomed to every
luxury, are thrown on their own re-
sources and forced to secure shelter
and sustenance amid primitive condi-
tions. Their incongruous adventures
prove highly diverting.
Limited" com
edy, by Frederic and Fanny Hatton.
Featuring Leo GARLIC as tempera-
mental Italian gownmaker and Grace
Calentine as a movie mad sophisti-
Gated mannequin. The back stage
workings of fashionable New York
shops and the joys and sorrows of
mannequins, saleswomen and seam
stresses, as well as the vagaries of
smart customers, are keenly but
good naturedly depicted. There is,
however, characterization rather than
caricature.
WALNUT-"The 18th Chair" mys-
terry melodrama, by Bayard WELLER,
centering about a murder. Not the
usual type of blood and thunder piece,
although it abounds in thrills and sen
sations. Helen Van Hoose heads the
long cast, which also includes Joseph
Carry in his original role of the in
spector.
