hardt. the good-by season Of Miss
EIDE Mae. prima donna OF the Mil
lion Dollar Dolls" this weeks attrac-
tion at the Gayety Theater. 10 really
a farewell tour Of the Columbia cir
cuit,by the girl with the golden voice.
Miss Mae will be seen in big Broad
way production this season.
Under direction of Ira Miller Miss
Mae has appeared before Gayety audi
ences for three years. Regret at
leaving burlesque Is only recon-
pensed In Miss Macs case by the re-
flection that her admirers will follow
her progress wherever she goes in
other directions. The popular Gayety
star has perhaps won greater favor
In a short career on the burlesque
stage than any other woman who
ever enhanced the attraction Of the
stage sets along the Columbia circuit.
