LEW WILLIAMS AT PALACE

Of all the comedians that have already played at the Palace theater this month it can safely be said that Lew Williams is the star of them all. The comedy of MT. Williams is natural. His partner in fun, George Rubin is a comedian of high calibre.
 The Chic-Chic Revue as the Will Hams show is known by is more of a regular musical comedy than an ordinary tab show. It appears that everything is script i. e. there are no old bits from burlesque but all newly written material including the musical numbers
 The chorus is one of youthful beauty and their dancing numbers are a treat.
 The Chic-Chis Revue will remain at the Palace all week giving an en- tirely new program on Thursday.
