Jack Conway and the Liberty
Girls in "Manless Isle" is laugh
able musical melange at the Gayety
theater. Irish Jack" is unques-
tionably the feature of the perform
ance with his abundance of native
wit. He is ably assisted by Vic
Plant and Izzy Cohen and the COM
bination of comedians brings con-
tinuous laughs.
Monica Redmond, the prima
donna, appears in frequent changes
of the latest creations of the Paris
modistes. Helen Stuart as IMAM
nish" reformer plays the character
parts in an exceptional manner.
Pauline Harer, in the soubrette role,
has a pleasing voice in her chorus
numbers.
The stage settings are exception
ally elaborate as are the costumes OF
the chorus and principals! The nu-
merous scenes give ample oppor-
tunity to show the gorgeous display.
The Runaway Four, in speciality
is unquestionably the hit of the
show. A quartet of male singers and
dancers par excellence were repeat
edly encored 7.
For the benefit of the holiday
crowds the Sunday and New Years
matinees will start at 3.
