zine article.
Dan Sherman and company have
been presenting their burlesque cir
Gus act in vaudeville for many years,
The basic idea has remained the
same, but the actors have kept pace
with time The two rube brothers
this season in an attempt to be
sporty at a circus is a comedy
scream. 1t has universal appeal.
Here is rube hokum comedy of the
better sort. I make no apology for
liking It, Here is real fun present
ed as it should be. To my way of
linking. NJ is the hit of the bill.
Some acts can repeat year after
year, but l have lost all the kick in
seeing Billy 'Swede" Hall and COM
pany in "Hilda," in which Hall does
a female impersonation. 1t is low
comedy, not artistry. If Hall has
to stick to just one line Of stuff, he
can at least change the material
used by others in his act or he could
furnish both new players and spe-
cialty material. The woman is a
good foil for the antics Of Hall, but
the act has been presented too often
in it's present form on the local
stage. Have your own opinion as to
this act.
The Bell Brothers open their act
with a musical supper in which
everything turns out to be a musical
instrument. In a comedy boxing
number the gloves even contain mus
ical Instruments. Pleasing novelty.

1" WEETNESS you have been
NJ looking for?
Well, you will find it in
town this week. 1t won't be here
| long and so many people are busy
electing President and others that
the sweetness may be passed up.
But Just going to tell you about
it. There is a lovely show at the
Muprat tonight and Wednesday. It's
name Is The Belle of Quakertown-
Aaron Hoffman supplied the book
and the music and the melody words
by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.
As far as I am concerned I DO
not look for the New York label
Of Endorsement to tell me that
show is All right" As far as New
York goes, it's all applesauce to
me. I know when a show pleases
me. And that is enough for me.
And The Belle Of Qaukertowr"
made ME forget a terrible cold and
a headache I have had for days. I
went TO the Murat last night feel
ing punk" and 1 came out still
with the cold. but happier. And
when a stage production does that
much for me, well, l am ready to
veil from the housetops that it is
good show.
You will not see undressed chorus
girls. You will not hear off-color
jokes. You will not see hundreds on
the stage before expensive sets.
But you will see a young and
pretty dancing chorus. You will
meet Helen Ford, one of those sweet
and lovely persons that the stage
needs so badly. You will see much
Of Eddie Buzzen. Eddie rather re
minds Of Jack observation-disclosures
both of EN- work at great speed.
You will see three pretty sets, not
elaborate. but in good taste. You
will hear some jokes that are ancient,
but this applies to every show have
ever seen. You will see some neat
dancing formations. You will realize
that a musical comedy can tell a
complete story.
And above all you will run into
three of the sweetest songs I have
heard in many a moon. Name emf
Sure I Will Here they are: NO 9TH
er Girl" as done by Miss Ford and
Buzzell, is a gem in their hands;
Corner of Ny Mind" a dream love
song with real heart in it as done by
Miss Ford and Buzzell. and Il Would
Rather Dance a Waltz" a dash Of
the old-fashioned stuff, which is 3
masterpiece OF dignity and beauty
in the hands Of Miss Ford.
There might be some weak spots
in the first act until Miss Ford and
Buzzen arrive. but when they land
( the entertainment is safe. Miss Ford
became a somebody on the stage last
season in New York when she ap-
+ peared in Helen Of Troy"
THE Belle Of Quakertown" returns
the stage 70 the days when a story
had something to do with musical
comedy. Here is a show that IS
bright, tuneful, pretty. and on the
whole we'll presented.
Many people are going to pass up
this little treat. Hundreds did last
night. Here IS a show that deserves
good business. Youth is present in
this organization. This is a show
for the entire family.
At the Murat tonight and Wednes-
day only.
