One Of the peppiest melanges Of
mirth and melody that has visited

an offering whose principal fea.
ture is an almost full-length musi-
cal comedy that brings into view
a whole corps Of highly trained
sheiks, executioners, and what
not. Two especially high spots in
the entertainment are provided by
the work Of James c. Morton. the
featured comedian. and Miss Billie
Maye, a talented little dancer,
who deserves more prominence on
the program.
The show starts with an athletic
offering by the Vintour Brothers,
experts in their line. Harry Bloom

stronger than the average in It's

gestion might not be unwelcome
to the producers. The vaudeville
acts are short, and the afterpiece

all the vaudeville in the musical
show and make 1t q straight two
