Chic Sale and his drolleries
form the main prop Of the pro-
ceedings and despite a famili-
aritys with his antics, dating
from 1918, this department still
finds it easy to grow consider
ably agog over him. He is one
of these rare things in comedy,
a stylist, and would-be imitators
find it easier to originate their
own stuff than try and copy
him. His "Zith Club" and "The
Man Who Knew Lincoln" rated
and got the evenings laughs.
There are two things to be
said about the chorus: Dame
for dame, they are the most un-
pulchritudinous we've seen under
one canvas in a long time, but
they are expertly drilled in
some intricate movements and
no small gist of the shows en-
pertaining qualities is due to
their gyrosccping. Isn't it odd
that homely people are invari-
ably efficient?
Three ensemble scenes are
broadly striped with the marks
of originality. These are ''Bac-
chanal," 1.-THE Zulu Dance"
an 1.-The Fan" numbers. Several
of the sketches are sulphurously
dirty and without reason other
than to pander to the automatic

or a smutty joke will get a rise
out of the most lethargic of
audiences.

The charm Of cape collars,
the grace Of softly shirred
skirts, and the smartnesS of
velvet ribbon bows embrace the
last word in Fashions book.
All three Of these features are
combined in Pattern 1928. There
is q youthfulnesS about this atv
tractive model, and a becoming
ness that will please women of
every type.
Several delightful color
schemes suggest themselves for
this style. Flowered crepe, wolfe,
georgette or chiffon may be
used with excellent effect. A
rose or yellow lowered chiffon
may add black velvet ribbon at
neck, waist and bows for charm
ing contrast. A blue outfit
would be stunning with match
ing blue MORE ribbon for trim
ming. Black and white are
always lovely and quite the
vogue.
Size SO requires 4 yards of
40-inch material and four and
one-half yards of ribbon for
trimming.
May be obtained in sizes 16
to A.
This model is easy to make if
you use this pattern which is
