sation with his dancing in the act
of Eddie Leonard some years ago.
He is using the same makeup that
he did with Leonard and does the
outstanding dance of that act. He is
assisted by four other fast steppers.
The act has a novelty finish with
four of the dancers doing a spark
dance. I still think that if Russell
would do more of his intimate dane
ing that the act would be improved.
He Is a splendid dancer of his type.
Jack Richards and Billy Church still
show traces of their former minstrel

La Toilette is a quick change

new policy is "The Scarlet Lady"
with Lya de Putt, Don Alvarado,
as the two lovers, and Warner
Olando as the villain. 1t may be
said in all fairness that Olando gives
the best performance.
The story of the movie concerns
the stormy days in Russia that

FRANCE RACES
ITALY TO BUILD
. BORDER FORTS
War CIamor Grows Loud,
as Both Rush Mammoth
Defense Lines.
BY RALPH HEINZEN,
United Press STAFF Correspondent


PARIS, Oct. 16.-The fortif1ca-
ton building race on both sides of
the lofty French italian frontier in
the Alphs testifies to the extent of
the strained relations that have ex-
asted between Paris and Rome since
Premier Mussolini came into power.
Fascist Italy holds France to
blame for much OF the lost italian
influence and territorial concessions
which Italian statesmen were
obliged to make at the insistence of
Clemenceau and later French states
men in postwar peace conferences.
Fascist leaders also dislike France
for having given temporary asylum
to the hordes of Italian radicals, an
archistS and other opponents of fas-
cism who fled the country fearing
Fascist revenge.
France looks with distrust at
1talys colonial ambitions, her de
sire to figure larger in the Mediter-
ranian basin and in her emigration

The newspapers Of the two coun-
try have engaged in such biting and
bitter malignancy that the widest
publications are shouting for war
and hurting threats.
Italy started the border fortif1ca-
ton race, building tsrongholds all
along the border from the Mediter-
Tanean to Mt. Blanc, the highest
peak in Europe, where the limits
of Italy, Switzerland and France

M. Painleve declared that France

at cost of millions of dollars to
the taxpayers of the two countries.
"Our plan of border Notifications,
which includes the building of a
defense system from the channel

italian frontier" M. Painleve said.
Our only ambition is to rest mas

probably is answered by Miss Frede-
rick the first few minutes on the
stage, but you leave the theater
feeling that it never has been an
swered. And probably it wasn't an
swered-just who the father is. Once
Miss Frederick tells you she doesn't
know just who is the daddy.
Am trying to tell you that Miss
Frederick last night opened the sea-
son at Englishs in comedy of
small town gossip called 1.-THE I'M
perfect Lady, by Zelda Sears and
Reita Lambert. Personally, feel
that Miss Sears, who is also in the
cast as Hattie, did most of the
writing herself, because it has the
Sears trademark.
This play is healthy entertain
ment. 1t is not near as naughty as
the title suggests. I will not state
that it is the best vehicle that Miss
Frederick has had on the stage.
But it does give her chance to
project for the first time her mar
velous talents as comedienne. We
know her emotional possibilities, but
we haven't had a chance until now
to see her as Coincidence and
smart one at that.
When a play can get into the
hearts of people, although it is
pretty much hokum at times, and
make the world a happier place
even for a few hours, we'll, for
one person am not going to cry it

der the head of robust, healthy,
good theater. When a play enter
tains, gives one smile as well as
a tear, I am not going to condem
it just because it is human. And I
don't care one rip if that baby takes
a hundred curtain calls with Miss
Frederick. 1t does sound pretty
much like waving the flag, but 1
loved it last night and 1 think
everybody else did at English's.
Here is human theater and darn
clever showmanship.
AS for the company. 1t is a
pleasure to see Miss Sears back on
the stage acting again. This worn-

triumph ranks right along with Miss
Frederick in this play. The next

cipals slipped his mind for the mo-
ment. Result, a large amount Of
good looking scenery, a neat APP
pearing chorus and very weak cast
of first line entertainers.
Dainty Dolls" tries to initiate the
big Broadway girl shows and fails.
Joe Moss, comedian is not as funny
as he should be, in fact, his as
sistant and foil is the best comic
of the two. The leading women do
not have much to offer and so the
show is left to the chorus, and it is
a good one, but the chorus can't do
everything.
There are several undeniably good
looking scenes but the lack Of some
thing to laugh about takes away the
first kick of a burlesque show.
