Silks and Satins''
Has Formula Of
Summer Show
New Revue at Geo. M. Cohan
Theater Has Plenty of
Good Dancing, but Not
Much HunaOr or Music
By Hevwood Broun


When the lights suddenly flooded the
stage and we discovered that there was
9 chorus girl sticking out Of each
flower we knew that "Silks and Satins"
was a regular summer show. We had
rather suspected as much after seeing
the oriental dance by Miss Ernestine
Myers and the knockabout act called
Midnight at Reisenrobbers"; the
blonde daisies and hollyhocks who sang
merely served as confirmation.
The show presented at the George M.
Cohan Theater by William Rock last
night accepts the formula that sum-
mer show should contain a great deal
OF speed and agitation. The pace Of
the performance was admirable, but
the excessive energy Of all the summer
shows makes us feel little wilted
these hot nights. There is some ex-
cellent dancing in "Silks and Satins,"
a. few fine costumes particularly in
the Chinese number), oneN or two good
vaudeville acts, no music of any con-
sequence, no voices and no verbal hu-
NOR. However, the man who left his
cello accompaniment every once and so
often to try to flip to his feet from
the floor was amusing. Each time he
fell on his back. Sometimes he fell
very hard. We thought it was fine.
The name Of the act is "Musical Va
riety," with William Demarest and Es-
telle Collette. Mr.. Demarest can turn
somersault while playing the violin
and go right on with his tune. Neither
Kreisler nor Heifetz does this. The
act seemed to US the best event on the
program.
west Alvey and Dennis O,Neil did
some clever dancing. Jue Quon Tai,
a Chinese contralto, was a lovely thing
to watch. She sang first in Chinese
