Hoosier soil turns out some pretty the
atrical flowers.
Three Of the prettiest flowers from this
Hoosier flower bed are Irene and Der
nice Hart of Indianapolis and Ernestine
Myers of Terre Haute.
These flowers bloom in William Rocks
Revue of 1920. which boasts Of the serv-
ices OF Mr.. Rock. Billy B. Van. james
J. Corbett, Irene and Bernice Hart. who
are two OF the sweetest little bodies be-
fore the footIights; Ernestine Myers, who
wears as few clothes as possible and
not take a cold; Marion Sunshine, a
regular beauty; Alvey and O'Neil and
others.
oh, / forgot a Chinese flower. Her
name is Jue Quon Tai, and she stopped
the show last night and was a regular
sensation.
In considering Mr.. Rocks Revue. let
me state here that it does not attempt
TO reflect that grandeur Of scenic inves-
tlture which adOrns the Zlegfeld FOlies
or the jazz abandonment of the Green
witch Village Follies Most Of the scenery
in the Rock Revue is velvet and satin
drops Rocks revue is a collection Of
vaudeville OTerings-some very good and
others just so so. 1t appears TO the
writer that Mr. Rock has some talent,
some excellent talent, which he has not
used to full advantage. He has failed
to make complete use of the splendid
talents Of the Hart sisters, Marion Sun
shine and Miss Myers. The Hart sisters
reminds one Of the bunch Of violets in
a big room-their fragrance ILLS the en-
tire space. The Hart sisters sing very
sweetly and make pretty picture when
ever they appear, but they are not given
enough TO do. Miss Sunshine appears
more often, but she hasn't the material
which knocks a So customer dead"

an artist and she does not need to resort
to such affairs as the "Danse Orientale."
Mr.. Rock sings and dances most OF

does he overwork. Jay NJ Regain il a

The chorus is strong on looks; they
wear some pretty costumes and some
look like they might own Rolls Royces.
Rock calls his chorus the Rolls Royce
chorus. They certainly have limousine
bodies.

vaudeville show IN disguise. then the
