MURAT-"sO SOMETIME"
A golden haired dancer chased dull
care away at the Murat in the first
presentation of Sometime" last night.
She displayed series of wiggles and
twists which is enough to cause Cleo
patra to turn over in her tomb, il Cleo
slept in such Il place.
The program accredits Miss Jean
White, known as Mayme. Dean in the
show. as responsible for that exhibition
of twists and thrills which caused the
little dancer to jump into headline place
last night.
Miss white is also very liberal in dis
playing those things which are eacased

Mildred LeGue attempts an Argentine

tinctive and refreshing. Distinctive in
that the program Is without an athletic
act---no strong men with Herculean bi-
cops, or frail women to do perilous stunts
on wire or trapeZe stretched high In

line of booze gags that theater patrons
have been pelted with since the country
went dry are conspicuous by their alb
sence. In brief, the show is clean from
