When Is A Nut Not A Nut?
 When He's Ray Dean!

The nut comedian, Ray. Dean, of the team of Ray and Emma Dean, now playing at Polls, ought to sign his name with a question mark, so many doubts, queries and mysteries surround his screamingly funny char acteriation of a nut country boy.
 Vaudeville performers themselves classify laughter. The laughs they all want to get from an audience are called abdominal laughs The usual audience laugh is described by ac ,ors as giggIes and the pale pink appreciation of poll e patrons of play parlors is referred to as rIpples.
 For his whole fifteen performing minutes Ray Dean gets abdominal laughs and this laughter is so spon- taneous, s ohearty, so absolutely un- spoiled by any attempt at suppress sion-it ernanates so freely from the solar plexus that it becomes a howl ing knockout. After it is all over everybody in the audience relaXes with the expression: 'I never laughed so much in all my life.''
 Makes Up for It.
 MT. Dean makes up to look like typical nut. As one looks at him one wonders if he is Is or 60. He has his hair combed in bang fashion The unacceptable impression the au- dience gets is that he wears wig

Ward, that it was hard to tell who was supposed to be the fea- tured comic. The settings were numerous and lavish. a number of mechanical devices adding much to the entertainment, which reached a climax when the dancing speciality of Hazard and Spellman came close on the heels of a musical treat by the Seven Byrons, Hawaiians, six men and a woman, a dancer They used various wind and reed instruments. bagpipes, violins, etc. their best number being an odd trio, piano, vio- lin and miranda. They all had good voices, and were aug -1mented by six real chorus men, who really could sing.
 It is the best offering that ever sailed under the Dave Marion banner. the closing speciality, ''Devorah in Dance,' by Rose Bernard, sent the curtain down with the house in cheers. There was plenty of pep

 Miss Lester has had a long and varied career both on the stage and on the screen. Born in England of English parentage, she came to this country when a young child and was educated in New York Her first Two Orphans" that famous play of three decades ago. Later she ap- peared with Richard Mansfield, w. H. Crane, Julia Marlowe. John Drew and Mrs. Fiske, so you see she has kept good company.
 Her last screen appearance in Bridgeport was in '|Earthbound,' in which she played the doting aunt of the foolish wife.
 But because Miss Letser is growing older is no reason why she should be considered an elderly person. Far from it, for her favorite sport is swimming she is an expert.
 Miss Lester has been married three times. and is now a widow. She lives in a cosy little bungalow in Gull yer City, California, and has a hand some Gordon setter for a pet Her ambition is to retire after a few more years, and to make her permanent home in her native land.

The fact is that all the hair on his head is his own and the wig effec t is due to MT. Deans art in making up.
 His voice also is cause for inquiry. The high falsetto voice he uses in his act is an acting voice. His natural voice is a baritone.
 MT. Dean. off the stage is an unas- sumfng, extremely quiet young man 30 years old. He is a graduate of Michigan University and goes in for fishing as his favorite sport The character he por,rays so well is one he observed in real life. He has been doing this sort of character for IT years and has been a sensational success in his present offering for four years.
