SMART REVUE
PRESEN TED
AT GAYETY

Sparkling with song, music, and
laughter with a thrilling trained
animal act thrown in for good
measure, the Happy Go Lucky"
show at the Gayety this week
measures up with the best the
season has produced. The two
acts and eight scenes into which
the entertainment Is divided con-
tain a little bit of everything in
the amusement line and a we'll
balanced company puts it over
with a bang.
The KelsO brothers, Harry anu
Joe, and Chester "Rube" Nelson
are the comedians-in-chief and
their antics and merry quips kept
last nights capacity house in
constant good humor. All three
are prime favorites with Wash
ington burlesque fans. With
Billy De Lisle the two Kelsos put
over a clever club Juggling act,
while Nelson and his steel
stringed guitar got mighty
hand.
Florence barley, a good-1ooking
blonde, has a number of song
numbers and shared honors with
Elsie Dudley. a sprightly dancer.
and Arlone Johnson, a singer of
jazz songs. The Whirlwind
Four. cyclonic dancers gained a
lot Of applause with their offer
ing. Fred Delmar and his fight.
ing lions provided a lot of thrills
and at the same time afforded
the comedians an opportunity to
put on some of the funniest
stunts in the show.
Happy Go Lucky" is hand
somely mounted, the flaming
forest scene with its riot of color
being an outstanding feature,
while the chorus does it's bit to
make the show one of the best of
its kind. H. w.

seems next to needless. Suffice
to say the remarkable character,
''Old Bill Jines," alias "Lightnin',
comes wrapped up In a honey tale
having much to do with Reno and
the divorce stampede. He. and his
wife, mostly his wife. conduct a
hotel on the California Nevada
State line, which proves a popular
waiting post for those forced by
domestic circumstances to stand
still in Nevada for six months.
How Mother Jones, disguised with
'Lightnin's shiftlessness and love
for the bottle, is nearly robbed OF
her hostelry-and husband, too
makes up a tale that touches all
within earshot.
Thomas Jefferson, son OF the
famous rip Van Winkle," and

"Lightnin', favorite Of the mil

house of its birth, last. night, and
began its attack on the last hun

ever get the populace to surrender
fully and permit its final exit re-

now deceased Frank Bacon started
on his second performance of the
famous 1891 Broadway marathon.
Certainly nothing in the piece as
