, were whirlwinds and did some pretty clever acrobafIc dancing. When that chorus of beautiful girls first made th cir appearance my heart skipped about six beats and I vowed right there that this. was the breed of chickens I was going ito ra6se up home hereafter. Although they might not be as profitable as the regular kind, they would help to inn prove the landscape. There were some men in the chorus, too, and a1- though they looked nice I guess they would be pretty speedy for7our village girls.
 The musical numbers were ali snappy and were putoEer by the best bunch of singers I ever heard, ex- cept those heard at the sMetropoif- tan Opera house when I -strayed in here by mistake one night
 We'll, I guess I said enough be- cause Mary don't need any sadvertis- ing as the best advertisement ds a satisfied customer and everybody in the theatre last night went out with q happy smile on their faces. HY.
