|WHIRL' GIRLTES ASK THE MEN TO HOOK 'EM UP
thu hin Chou'R Spectacle

oh me. oh my!
The Century Roof must be a rapid
place.
The girlies from 1.-The Century Mid
night Whirl" practiced some of the
stunts at English's last night which are
known to have happened on the roof.
The ladies in question have the most
confidential way about 'em as they
meander out in the aisles, back up
against a seat and ask the male occupant
to lend 4 hand and Button Me Up the
Back"
Really, the poor dears were buttoned,
as there happened 10 be quite a lot Of
married men who were present appar-
emily without their wives at English's
last night
Then in another number, the girls
again romp in the aisles and manicure
the nails of only the good looking gentle
men. Dramatic critics have the
blamedest luck. It takes a bald headed
man to make good these days)
1t is all harmless fun and after the
audience got wise to the fact that they
were supposed to act as if they were
on a roof the "Whirl'' show went over
with bang.
The Century Midnight WhirTT is a
! bunch of fun, loaded down with good
looking girls. clever song numbers, pre-
scented by principals who know how to
put the So in song.
Look at this list of big names-Richard
Carrie Of Spring Chicken" fame and still
a springer, judging by appearances ;
blanche Ring, famous as the girl with
rings on my fingers and bells on my
toes;' Charles Winninger, who passes up
4 Iuf u
/ farit; Winona Winter. a great favorite
while singing or giving her impressions
I OF ventriloquist; Jay Gould, who is
very nifty on his feet in dance; the Ben
net Twins and others.
IL Is a pleasure to see Richard earle
run wild again and hear him whisper to
a chorus girl who sohs Ike q country
chicken cackles. Yes, I know. dear, but
where is the egg?" earle is the Jester
divine. He has Inherited the youth
which the late Nat Goodwin thought he
had. earle Is in his element in this
crazy guilt of entertainment
I must hasten on Blanche Ring has
a bunch Of good song numbers and has
a hugh time Of it with Mr. Ninninger
and Mr.. earle in u satire called "Wor-
rles,' in which Winninger hires earle to
worry for Winninger's wife Very clever
and very rapid Again Mr. earle and
Mr.. Winninger have another big chance
in Getting q Passport" which is a
burlesque on the tax craze OF Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Gould and Miss Winter aid greatly
in this big, juicy hunk of fun. pardon
me, L am getting careless with my Eng
hsh after seeing this fun riot
Probably the best song number Is
Poppy Land" as sung by Miss Winter
and illustrated by Poppy chorus and
then further illustrated by Jay Gould
and dancers in a poppy dance called
Lime House Night"
The finale OF the show is a cracking
good series Of Impressions Of many
Broadway stars, some Of whom have
never been seen in this neck of the
woods, if my memory plays me right
And there are many other real comedy
and melody surprises In this show that
am unable 10 point out at this writing
Opinion: II you feel the need of
kick" and are afraid TO have any
kicks" at home or In a hotel room be-
cause Of Government providers then by
all means go to The Century Midnight
Whirl" at English's this week and re-
ceive a splendid comedy, musical and
dancing kick administered by real en-
tertainers. This show has the punch, al
though you are called blushingly 10 aid
