week run at the Forrest Theater.
Advance reports are enthusiastic re-
garding the marvellous costuming,
dancing and singing Of this 1929 Eas-
ter show, and It Is predicted that the
spectacular Freedom" male chorus
and the Rainbow" and Sampler"
specialties will prove high spots likely
to make Mask and Wig history.
Also an innovation is offered in the
third dancing chorus of six additional
girls" to put over certain numbers,
such as please, Marie, Say Yes"
"Stay at Home and Let the Others
Roam" and GLORY, What Prices"
An amusing burlesque told in music
Is what the Mask and Wig always has
been from the earliest days Of Nc
Michael and Nelson down to the time
Of Rogers and Lavino, to Gilpin and
Morgan-which is practically the pres

Gilda Is Modest.

IT NEVER learned to Dance" said
Gilda Gray to an audience of
women. once. 1T just came to me.
1 never took a dancing lesson In
my life. I am Just naturally q Joy
Gus person, and when / dance I am
having the time Of my ufe."
That is all Gilda has ever vouch-
safed as to how and why she does
the type of dancing which has made
her famous. She does not even
claim originality for any of her
dances. She admits that she got her
South Sea dance from reading Fred
erick O'Brien's stories of those
tropical islands. She gives credit
for other dances to the American
Indians and the pow-wow dance. Her
Charleston, she admits is taken from
the American negro and from their
carefree mode of doing things.
So that Gilda Gray's dances. which
have elevated her to a sensational
stardom in the theater. are not her
own. But she has improved on
them with her own personality. un-
til today. they are actually Gilda
Gray's dances.

Charleston for Nothing.

FIDDLE CANTOR Just cannot help
being generous.
Eddie has heard that there are a
few folks in Washington who have
not yet learned to dance the
Charleston, and he doesn't feel that
this should be.
He has therefore arranged for a
Charleston matinee at the National
Wednesday afternoon of his en-
gagement. when Harland Dixon will
instruct the audience In the intrica-
cies of the popular dance. This will
occur Immediately after the perform
ance. and all those in the audience
who wish may remain for Mr.. Dix
on's demonstration Of just how 1t
should be done.
It will be remembered that Har-
land Dixon Is one Of the very best
terpsichorean artists on the Amer
lean stage, this from no less an au
thority than Fred Stone. with whom
he was long associated. It Is also
out Of the very goodness of his heart
that Mr.. Dixon. who plays ono of the
principal parts in kid Boots" has
volunteered for this noble charity,
for there will be no extra charge.
Mr.. Dixon also will answer any
questions that may be asked him in
regard to the Charleston.
