When apples for which the

which must be corrected. the CITY

yesterday by Gray Silver. Wasn-

The solution advanced by MT. sii-

The right of farmers 70 co-op-
crate the same as producers DO In

basic one" the speaker said, yet
in four. States farmers have been
put in jail for doing just that: thing.

Olga Woods, soubrette with the
flashlights Of 1922" playing at
the Gayety this week, is one OF the
most popular girls playing this
speedy role on. the entire Columbia
Burlesque circuit. Miss Woods has
appeared in burlesque vaudeville
and cabaret work during the past
three years. OF the three branches
Of the theatrical profession. Miss
Woods is somewhat more favorable
to burlesque. When asked as 20
why she preferred burlesque, Miss
Woods laughed and stated that il
was due to the fact that burlesuue
is always alive with songs and
snappy music, while in vaudeville
the artist enjoys only twenty min
utes of work each afternoon and
evening.
When asked what she thought of
burlesque. Miss Woods replied:
"Burlesque of today isn't what It
used to be. OF course, that's a
well-known fact. Today producers
strive to give their patrons some
thing new-comedians, scenery and
comedy. Producers realize that they
waste their money to try to put an
old style show before the present
day audiences. OF course there are
good shows and bad shows but
usually the latter are brought 70
the storehouse before many weeks
because people will not be fooled
any moreover when IL comes to
brrlesque shows. Burlesque of to-
DAY is of the highest standard yet
and perhaps the best 1t will ever
