aspires to get an intimate view of
real society life, how circumstances
conspire in her favor and make her

how her illusions are shattered un-
til she is glad to return to her mod

ones. and laughable situations,
which have ample power to stand
upon their own merits for an ev-
ening's entertainment, but when,

terials for a captivating musical
comedy are all on hand and ready
to serve by carefully chosen cast
that will be seen here, prominent
among which will be Marie DN-
worth. Hazel Flint, Burt Hall, Will

witness performance of Naughty

sented by Irons and Clamage, who
when arranging this production
made every effort to get away from
the stereotyped Irish and Jew CO..
median and have succeeded in pro-
yiding an entertainment that stands
in class by itself, artistically and
scenically. A new book, written
and saged under the personal d.
rection Of Arthur Clamage, pro-
vides for two acts and nine scenes,
making a stupendous and elabor-
ate scenic equipment, built espe-
cially for this show at the Avenue
Studios, Detroit. The wardrobe IS
described as the most gorgeous
ever employed in a burlesque show.
In fact 1t is an entirely new show
in every detail, with cast of fun
makers and singers heretofore
identified in musical comedy. and
vaudeville, embracing such well
known personages as Walter
Brown. Jack Kennard, Roy Beverly,
AL. Foster, Ernie johnson, Harold
Blodgett, Leona Fox, May Hamil-
ton, Louise Stewart, the Four Har-
mony Boys, and a chorus of twen-
ty alluring. enticing, beautiful girls,
selected to wear and display the
large array Of gorgeous gowns
which all help to make Naughty
Naughty" the best show to be seen
this season on the American cir
cult. The advance sale for this at
traction is rather unusual, due no
doubt to the reports proceeding
from the cities the show has played
so far this season.
