OBSERVER FINDS MIGHTY
GOOD SHOW AT LYRIC

Secret Service at a dairy lunch?
Assuredly, since hotel has silver
service!
This is the conclusion reached by
Norman and Lande, variety team at
the Lyric.
No especial reason for placing this
first, save that 1t Is typical OF the
humor in the bill at the Lyric this
week. If you are suffering from
chapped lips, better avoid this show.
There is a youngster in Nautical

IMPROVED COMEDY is
FOUND IN "SNAPPY SNAPS"

From Spain to Scotland, thence by
way of New York East Side apart
ment house to a murder trial, is the
territory covered by "Snappy Snaps, y
burlesque offering at the Broadway.
Although not too original, the jokes
were for the most part in better taste
than previous Mutual wheel attrac-
tons. Ray Read as the janitor Of
the apartment, tells the world in a
mournful tone that his "old gang" is
now doing time in Congress.
Why they don't quit putting mock
court scenes into burlesque shows is

Miss Maker and BEDFORD, by their
natural honest and individual work
in Rolling Stones" at Keiths this
week, win nearly all the medals.
So there will be no misunderstand-
ing-Keith's has a corking good show
this week and 1t is hard to pick the
winner. Miss Maker and Redford
have a little sketch mixed up with a
song or two which comes pretty near
topping the list of individual and smart
material. Paul Gerard Smith wrote
the sketch and the music is the work
of Maker and BEDFORD
1t tells the story of city wise guy
going to the country, or, rather, he
wants to put his feet on Main Street
instead of Broadway. and of a little
country girl who leaves Main Street

at the Capitol.
Several scenes were colorful both as
to costumes and mounting. The Sunk

comedy quality.
Perhaps the prettiest part of the
show was the Oriental dance of the
Busch sisters in this scene. They were
deHghtfulaboth in the Oriental dance,
and in a Spanish bit in another scene.
Frank X Silk, who admits he IS
"the guy who sold Jesse James his
horse" handles some amusing scenes
which he wrote-very cleverly. The
audience enjoyed him hugely when we
were present. We wish, however. he
would replace his elaborate joke about
the location of Paris with something
else.

Film and offense

Film on teeth is unclean. It mars
beauty. At first that film is viscous.
You can feel 1t now. With ordi-
nary brushing, much of it c1ings
and stays. Soon it discolors and
forms dingy coats.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. Il,
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it They, with tar
