Marcus Loew has sent another real
vaudeville bill to Memphis for the
new bill at his State theater opening
Sunday. Every act is declared to be
worthy OF special commentator.
Five Melody Maids dish out a
dainty line of melody and mirth.
They are the very essence of grace
and beauty and their act has gone big
wherever II has been shown. These
patriotic maidens were war workers
abroad and many a night their splen-
did acts, cheered TO the echo by our
boys helped to keep up morale and
enabled us to win the war.
In these days of the ouija board
craze when II is being consulted
alike by coy maids, hopeful widows
and gray bearded scientists, 1t is but
natural that 1t should find it's way
upon the stage. Mccoy and Walton
have taken the latest fad and en-
bodied a satire that will hold all by
its charm and brllliance. It is at
once original, unique and filled with
quaint turns that keeps ones minds
the fun role.
A good cartoon act is always en-
Joyable. In Clayton and Clayton one

this type was "Disraeli" played for
several seasons by George Arliss
Robert L, Lee" is not only n thrill
