Sing of Dancing Steps.

Mr.. White with his feminine cohorts
in black satin sang of the different
steps in dancing that might make life
happy every day. More OF the black
satin army, always comely and moving
gracefully, filled the stage. 1t reached
high into the space OF the shiny back
ground. The girls sang and in their
way repeated Mr.. Whites steps. They
did II all so gracefully that the spec
tators broke into quite spontaneous
applause. Then the curtain fell and so
apparently did the black frocks. When
II showed the young women again they
were In lingerie. Maybe. after all, it
wasn't lingerie. Perhaps 1t was only
combination of brassieres and cami-
soles and the rest of those confusing
things that make up the feminine un-
derwear which a bachelor is not sup
posed to know more about than he
sees in theaters. At all events the
audience loved the change and il wound
up the first act In a blaze of applause
and cigarette smoke. The song plug
gers. always numerous at a White first
night, seemed TO be having the time OF
their young Broadway lives.
Mr.. White was not this year so re-
tiring as usual. He danced once In the
old skis from the Winter Garden days
or decade ago, and he did the difficult
steps with the old grace and vigor.
Then he led the dancers in the weekly
program which he rhythmically out
lined to his colleagues. He is the same
incomparaby graceful and easy dancer
that he used TO be before he had reviews
on his mind. But the comic dancing
was in the hands. or rather the feet and
for that matter the whole body OF Lester
Allen. He was never more amusing in
his acrobatic maneuvers than he was
last night. In the burlesquc of "Ive
Found a Four Leaf Glover" he was In
evenings fun.

There Is a strict censorship on all
non-productive advertising in these
two places. he said. and it has result
ed in a big saving to the merchants.
IN the early years of the censorship
there was a great deal of criticism of
the attitude of the Merchants asso-

in favor of it. =
