New Stars Click
At the Gayety

Favored with an abundance of
talent, "Whirly- -Girlies," current
at the Gayety, provides two and a
half hours of pleasant entertain
ment for burlesque fans.
Outstanding are Dorothy De-
Haven, Palmer Cote and Russell
Trent. Miss DeHaVen not only
is easy to gaze upon but has a
sweet voice and is an excellent
toe dancer. Cote gives fine eX-
hibition of soft-shoe dancing and
tops it off with an acrobatic
dance which calls for real agility,
while Trent, youngSter who has
not been seen here before, scores
by the manner in which he puts
over his every part, showing to
great advantage in two contrast
ing scenes, one in which he slut
terS and the other in which he
talks so fast that its hard to keep
up with him.
A right happy combination is
brought together in the persons
of Happy Hyatt, rotund comic,
and his co-worker, Harry STRAIT
ton, who manage to keep the
audience in good humor through
out.
Lillian Murray, 'The Modern
Venus" like all of the featured
stars, makes but two short ap-
pearances, as does Georgia Soth-
ern, "the hot breeze from the
South" who returns as guest-star.
Besides those already men,
toned, there is Ritzy Phillips,

Saunders, singing straight man,
and a youthful chorus.
