PAT ROONEY REVUE,
rings OF SMOKE"
COMES TO KEITH'S

With Pat Rooney and Marion
Bent there Is only one way of
doing a thing and that Is the right
way, SO when they decided to pool
their talents with those of sup
porting company and present a
revue they went to extremes to
be sure that everything connected
with the production was the best
The result is one of the most elabo-
rate and gratifying entertainments
that has yet .graced the vaudeville
stage.
To begin with. Edgar Allan woolf
was persuaded to write the book
and some of the lyrics. The other
lyrics and the music were written
by a number of people, all aces in
their line. The next step WAS the
presentation. The cast came first
and a company of principals, every
one of whom were known and liked.
were put under contract. Then
just for good measure was added
the Five Kings of Harmony: next
came the scenery and costumes,
and these are the latest word and
cannot be Improved upon. The
revue has been called Rings of

PLAYER AT GAYETY
DISCUSSES SCIENCE
OF MAKING LAUGHS

Frank Hunter. at the Gayety this
week as one of the features OF the
Big Jamboree." claims there is a
science in making people laugh.
''Of course. there are lots OF
comedians who get away with
plumb foolishness." he says, gro
tesque costumes and low comedy.
neat makeup and ability. the
latter being the most essential of
the three. A burlesque comedian
who puts over low comedy does not
necessarily mean that he has an
easy time of IL, for such a comedian
must be able to put over such comedy
in a fashion that will be acceptable
to his audience.
There are a few comedians who
have the ability to use ordinary
comedy lines. but with a peculiar
look or smile can make such lines
the laughing hit of the show. I
believe that the man who can put
his lines over merely by smiling
after he has spoken them is a fol-
lower of the scientific side OF the
laugh producing business. Bur-
lesque audiences are so miNed-so
different-thst nearly half Of the
time you have to feel the audience
during the first minutes Of the show
before you can hope to succeed with
comedy antics"
