how to sing a
song to success but he has the per
sonahty which aids Baker in com
pletely and without doubt stopping
the show No wonder Baker calls
the audience my public" Baker
and his companion certainly turned
things upside down at English's
last night Baker starts the show
with his intimate explosion with the
audience. Then it is easy for the Hoff-
mann Girls and the many others
10 carry this revue to real success.
Baker is a comedy artist who has
perfected certain line of talk to
Offset some melody that more than
lands solid. He has a good deal
to do with this revue just now be-
cause he is working In some of the
sketches. When anybody mentions
ARTISTS and Models the Paris edi-
ton, YOU can bank your last cent
that they are thinking of Baker.
SO that there can be no misunder-
standing-this is the very first time
that this edition of Artists and Mod
els" has ever been presented in this
city. We have had other editions or
another edition. hut this is the first
time that this edition has been here.
1 saw this show last year at the
Winter Garden in New York in it's
first week. Can say in all truthful
ness that it is now in better shape
than when II was in the process of
being created. Told you in this de-
partment about this show when 1
saw IL i'm New York. 1t has been
going steady ever since. II recently
left Chicago. Cincinnati and st.
Louis have seen it and now we
have il.
Am satisfied in my own judgment
(and I compare it with the newer re
vues that | saw in New York last
MONTH. that this edition of Artists
and Models" Is one of the best dane
ing shows 1 have ever seen.
The Gertrude Hoffman, Girls are
not only great dancers of every step,
but they are the best looking bunch
of hooters I ever have seen collected
under one label.
Those who contribute to making
this the best dancing show l have
seen, are as follows:
The eighteen Gertrude Hoffman,
Girls-the most versatile and accom-
plished set of dancers ever assem-
bled under one banner. Their fenc-
ing. dancing and other contributions
to this revue merit this statement of
praise.
Teddy Claire-A lad who has wick
ed and fast feet.
Bernard and Richie-Here is
dancing team that really twists itself
in knots. The man is a wonder.
The Hoffman, Girls-Again when
they do their speciality dancing num-
bers. A great scene. Again in THE
Pastels" number. Again in the
fencing number.
Florence Quinn-She comes into
her very own when she sings and
dances promenade Walk one of
the tune hits Of the revue She
shakes and then some. What a
dancing spirit this woman has. She
is assisted by a flock of promenaders.
The Cats Brothers-Here are two
hard shoe or tap dancers. To my
way of thinking they are today the
best in the business. Have said this
before and I will stick to my story.
And now for other events.
Llora Hoffman is the prima donna
of the revue. A capable singer with
= really fine voice. She scored in
Mothers of the World" a song
picture presented with great charm
and understanding Again she has
another hit in a number called Fol
low Your Star" The dance or
chorus background is smartly
handled to get the greatest posi-
BILE effect.
Brennan and Rogers. the present
day edition OF "Margie." work in
number of the nearly naughty"
sketches which are sandwiched in
between the real scenes of the revue.

And there is a lot more I could
tell YOU about Artists and Models. A"
But am sure of tins one big fact
You can buy Artists and Models"
with the assurance that you are see
ing as good a revue as is before the
public today If I did not believe
that statement, I could not tell you
that it is true.
To me Artists and Models" is the
best dancing show upon modern
lines that I have ever seen. And
there is a lot of comedy of all grades
present.
Artists and Models" is on view
all week at English's.
