thusiastic group of burlesque fans
turned out in force yesterday to
welcome the start of a new season
at Jimmy Lakes Gayety Theater.
Heading the bill is the irrepressi-

humorous sayings become funnier
as the show progresses. and who is
one of the outstanding men on
the circuit.
Running Sam a race for top
honorS are the Reed Sisters. Ger
trude, who was here last season,
has always been a favorite, while
her sister, Rae, equally as talented
and pretty, bids fair to make her
step. This makes the best sister
team seen at the Ninth Street
house, and if there are any more
of the Reed girls, bring them on,
too.
Costello and Lakes, dancers, un-

promises much for this year. Cos

at his feet.
Miss Doloras Green and Miss
Helen Green also added to the
brilliance of the show, while Miss

went over big.
Little Miss BODY Kassac scored
in her only change, while the old
dependableS, Ray Parson and
Frank Mallahan, did their bits
towards making good start for
the burlesque season.

Expect Too Much

Miss Barrymore may not like
the idea of a Colt being COM
pared with a horse. But the
truth is there just the same.
Funny thing: the way people
expect so much from names.
They seem to think that be-
cause a man or a woman is
born with a famous name
the party in question should
turn out to be just as cele-
brated as the previous genera.
ton. It's a sad but true fact
that the thing seldom works
out that way. If all the famous
names that had turned out to
be duds were laid end to end
we'd all be the better off.
It is the so-called society"
moniker that. gives the theater
some of it's greatest flops.
Aside from Ethel Borden,
Eleanor Patterson, and possibly
one or two others, there isn't a
man or woman that can
think of in the social register
who ever amounted to a hoot
upon the stage. They announce
their intention Of becoming
stage stars. get plenty of space
on the dramatic pages-and
fade very gracefully out Of the
picture.
Nobody who follows the
theatrical sections will fail to
recognize the following para

Chester Gillette who was put to

novel.
Tragic Romance
Clyde Griffiths, the son of a
sluns' evangelist, a pitifully weak
and selfish character, who, as his
. mother says, was never given the
right. start, blunders through his
adolescent years until he arrives
at the little collar factory town of
Lycurgus. There he contacts
with Roberta Alden, an unspoiled
child working at the benches who
is flattered by his attentions
Clyde accompliShes the ruin of
Roberta, and to get out of the
way that he may contract a more
desirable marriage, plans to drown
her. What actually happens in
the row boat on that peaceful
lake you see. The craft is over
turned and the struggling Roberta
is left to perish in the swirling
waters. His carefully arranged
alibi is torn to shreds by the dis
trict attorney, who restages a
scene Of haunting memory.
In the death house Clyde Gri-

mother. "I didn't murder her.

The reaction to Clyde Griffiths
as played by Phillips Holmes
was of a cruel, cowardly and
coldly fascinating youth. Actor
Holmes appeared to have but
two expressions, both somberly
serious. So the character gen.
crates not a vestige of appeal,
and some will contend because
he is so submerged in this be-
wilderingly sad mood he lacks
flexibility. Sylvia Sidney was
better as Roberta. She made the
girl tender and touching figure,
chiefly through the convincing
emotional quality read into the
lines.
Irving Pichel, as the district
attorney, has dialogue which per
mits forenSics for the display of

agreeable task of confounding a
scoundrel's network of lies, he
scores bulfs-eye in audience
appeal.
To sum up. a familiarity with
the novel, play, and now with
the picture leads to a definite
belief Author Dresser is super
sensitive. Paramount has not
belittled his work, for, even with
out the psychology, Clyde Grit
fiths can be understood. He
was a weakling and the screen
has told his story in essential
detail without the cumbersome
analysis of the mental processes
