Fl o longer is II p. m
I'M Oh, mercy no. I should ut
IN ter it more loudly. 1t is 8
a. s.
1t means mine after supper" And
we liked that one during THE Dane
ing Girl" at the Murat last night.
The Dancing Girl" belongs to the
better class of revue entertainment.
There is no brazAn e&{ sure of the
flesh. The girls dr. Just strut and
expose. but they dad-s sing and wear
clothing which actually covers what
is intended to be covered.
Scenica,ly, this show is one or real
beauty. 1t isn't overdone and 1t
doesn't ooze perfume. paint and burn
ing incense all over the theater. 1t
stacks up as common sense method
of entertainment for the entire fam
lily, including grandma and grandpa.
Jack Pearl Walks
Away With This Show
There are many valuable people in
She cast, but Jack Pearl is the one
1ou will remember when the season
is all over Pearl can create a laugh
by suffering or sneezing out few
cornicaI lines. He is a skilled show
man. He never overacts and he has
the rare judgment Of using clean ma
terial.
Pearl has some delicious fun with
Marie Stoddard in AT the Custom
House" Marie has just landed from
France and Pearl as a custom inspec-
tor finds it necessary to question
Marie.
After Marie's wet goods are discov-
cred. Pearl asks, How long are you
going to stay in American
Just one quart" she answers.
That was all she succeeded in get
ting into the country.
Before the booze was discovered.
Pearl asks. did you bring any liquor
into the country"
Certainly no." Marie answers.
Then Pearl whispers, DO you want
to buy any?"
Pearl will increase his following by
the hundreds If he keeps on at the
pace he is going in this show.
The Three DOners
Dance, Dance and Dance
The Three Doners-Ktty. who
dresses like a boy; Rose, who looks
like sweet sixteen, and Ted-appear
in many smart dances. These three
know how to dance, especially the
clever Kitty. They never fail tc
please.
We are lucky to get TRIM, a Eu
ropean dancer. She was in the New
- oh hTri
played only the final week in Chicago
She is a dancer possessing real Span
ish fire She flashes on and off in
numerous dances and in one rare
song picture, My Love Bouquet" g
Spanish dance number as done by
Trlni, is the real article. She has q
commanding personality and two 'in
nocent eyes. The Innocent Eyes
number is done with Jack Pearl. A
real comedy affair.
Pearl, Ted Doner and the others
have some clever fooling in The
Boxing Contest" The unexpected
happers as Pearl puts over a comedy
knockout. Llora Hoffman has a voice
which would be welcomed on the
concert stage. Here is a rare singer
Frank J. Corbett, Arthur Marget
son, Llora Hoffman and Trini appear
in a song picture. Romance" The
lighting effects increase the charm Of
this melody picture. One Of thu
beauty spots Of the show, the 'Ver
sailles" number, belongs to the beau
ty winning divison.\ Ebna Spare ha:
her big chance here. Frank Byror
and Miss Hoffman also register.
Lou Holtz is present. AS far as
am concerned he is the most uninter
esting alleged comedian on the Ameri
can stage. To me some of his ma
terial needs cleaning up. I don't nk'
the brand Of insinuating dirt" disheC
up at times by Holtz. This beautiful
show does not need the services C.
HoltZ.
With the exception of Holtz, rec
ommend 1.-The Dancing Girl" as tn,
best Winter Garden show I have seer
here in the last four years.
At the Murat all week.
