She holds that he is one Of the
few real artists on the American
stage.
Speaking of her reactions to
the part of Consuelo in HE Who
Gets Slapped" she said:
my favorite role was that OF
Consuelo and ! do not think that
any other part / have so far
played has benefited me so great

role as / play and study it
develops not only in characteri-
zation, but also helps me in de-
veloping my own personality and
philosophy of life."
When asked what she thought
about Washington, she burst out:
"Oh, I'm just crazy about it!
Why, 1t seems like a real vaca-
ton to me. The beauty of Wash

There is such a peaceful atmos

been a member of George Mar

seasons ago. Since that time she
has achieved success in several
big New York musical produc-
tons.
Modern verve and swapping
vivacity characterize Miss LaGue's
dances which include both Spanish
and jazz numbers. The former
are said to be terpsichorean mas

Miss LaGue displays the latest
jazz steps with grace and skill.
While playing here in stock Miss
LaGue made many friends, both as

and 1t is expected that they will
turn out en- force to witness her
new act.

Madame Pompadour' is so full

to sit through it. Leo Fall, APP
parently realizing that there is
a blight upon popular music at

score is dainty, filled with gems,
and so tuneful that you take large
clots of it home with you, and
hum yourself tired. One air. call

often happen nowadays that one
finds anything worth loathing.
1T is a waltzy operetta. The
once popular dance measure is
used for all it ir worth but not
over-used. The Madame Pompa-
dOur' waltz is charming, and there
is a ditty called Love Me Now
