 Dancing that takes away th'
 breath, costumes and scenic effect.
 that dazzle the eye, specialties tha,
 have brand new written all owe,
 them, and comedy that skaters the
 air with laughter, all combine tc
 make Harry Delmar's Revels the su.
 perlative revue of the day. Enc
 show had its premiere at Parsons
 theater. Hartford. last evening and swept the house by storm.
 Al Jolson, Rufus Lemaire. the pro ducer. and other New York celebr- ties were present--in the audience and it was their opinion that Harry Delmar has unearthed g. gold mine of meritorious fun and entertain ment.
 Frank Day and Blossom Seeloy are the headliners, They are sup ported by other stars including Bert Lahr, Jeanne Hackett, Hugh Gamer on. Miss Patsy Kelly, Benny Fields and a host of talent. Fay pops ont every few minute either in special ty or a sketch and is welcome every time he appears. Miss Seeley offers her personal interpretation of many novelty songs as only Blossom Sccley can do it.
 The backbone of the Revels Is formed by the Chester Hale Girls, 16 of the clcvercst artistes ever to be assembled before the footlights. Memories of other dancing enscm- hles fade into the background when these marvellous young women per form. They synchronizc their steps with marvellous perfection. From the moment of their first appearance un- til the show is ended they are the focus for enthusiastic applause.
 Of the individual dancers. the sensation of the revue is Miss Teddy Walters, whose name does not ap- pear on the program. She stopped the show at the beginning of the second act last night with as daring q stunt as was ever seen in a Hart ford theatcr. The scene is under the sea- Miss Walters, after command ing attention through her remark able agility and grace, as a dancer, is carried to the top of a rock, 20 feet high. by an octopus. Standing at the edge of the rock with her back 10 the audience, she falls gracefully into the arms of a part | ncr who is standing on the stage. IL | IS a stunning moment. Last nights | audience blocked the progress of | f b, cI>nW ut tbis nnnf \ nn1a1IGc lasting for several minutes halted l all proceedings and the tribute did | not subsidc until Miss Walters came | before the footlights 10 bow ac- knoWlc1gmcnt of the acclaim.
 The premiere presentation was moi 1. concluded until midnight and it will be necessary for the producers 10 whittle is down. They can do this without difficulty as there arc sev- eral "blackout" sketches which can be eliminated without any damage. One or two are so perilously near the border line of being risque that they will not be missed if they are cut.
 Costumes and scenic effects sur pass any ever presented at Parsons heater. The settings are lavish and he stage arrangements for the pre- ;entation of numbers by the Chester Hale Girls and the ensemble ar" worthy of special notice. It is said hat nearly s2Q0.oo0 has been spent )n the show. The effect bears out his rumor. nclmar's Rcvcls will be repeated , ,venings for the rest of the week, with q matinee on Saturday.
