tBy HeraH Rey'eweIJ

Ntzi and two hours of amusing norscnso heightened by the antics of Stanley Lupino, the London comcdi- Iun, make up Naughty Etiquette" which played at Parsons theater, Hartford, last night, in its first ap- paarancc of thc week.
 Mtzi apparently has lost none of 1 the popularity which made her one of the outstanding stars of the Sohuberts. The audience applaudol her hoydenish and irresponsible act- ing libcrally and appeared to like the show. The vehicle does not seem to provide her with part in keeping with her past victories. ! Stanley Lunino is genuinely fun- Iuy, in the way that Charlie Chaplin lis funny. He does th" unexpected, lis 8 handspring of action and fur IniShcS the bulk of the laugh mak- ling. He is master of himself and Ith" audience at all times.
 The plot, it snch it can be called, irevohc8 around the adventures Of , Riqucttc DuVah q supervisor iii a tl'rench telephone company's central I"fltcc. It haa its thread of love and has a song here and there which Eatrikas the popular fancy. Tho la1lstc Wae written hy o@cn" Strau", but it lacks the magnetism of hts otler works. Make Believe and "Someone" are the best numbers.
 Alexander Gray is tn" singer Of the show. He has pleasing voice which reaches it's highest point in ,"Maio Believe"
 "Nauelty EiQuctt' is equipped with a. versatile and pretty chorus, Iex:rptional in ability both in danc- ing and gymnastics. One of the most impressive shctch's is the ap- ncaranc, of fifteen toe dancers.
