time, the screen tells all of the
secrets of the newspaper column

their by-lines while telling the
world everybody elSe's secrets. 1t
also exposes their methods of col
lecting news and spills the dirt"
about their private lives.
Adapted from the stage play of

it's rapid-fire comedy-its plot and
consistently fine acting by a cast

Buster Was Too Good

Buster West at the Earle
Theater is comic who suffered
at least once because he was too
good. It was in a George White
Scandals and Comedian West got
so many laughs on the opening
night he totally eclipsed some of
the higher priced stars. So they
quietly got together and forced
Producer White to whittle down
the chances of this upstart. They
left him just enough to get by.
This professional jealousy is
not new. Jack Pearl became in
censed because Fred Hilldebrand
once garnered most Of the laughs
in a Shubert revue. He had in
fluence enough to have the
Hilderbrand part sliced in two
and then tried out in Pittsburgh.
Pearl was still an also ran so
he practically eliminated every
line that Hilldebrand had before
the show opened on Broadway.
Hilldebrand took his grievance
to Equity and asked for the right
to quit but Equity held that he
must abide by his run-of-the-
play contract.
Proving it doesn't pay to be
too good, or does it?

Broadway Stone Cold

Too bad that Fred Stone had
to appear on Broadway and be
received with kindly condescen-
sion by the critics. They were
tender to him because of a glor-
ious past.
Nevertheless, it's hard to waste
sympathy on very wealthy actor,
who knew before he hit the main
street that Smiling Faces" was
a very weak musical comedy. Last
seasons tour proved that. But at
fractions are scarce, and it was
decided to send Smiling Faces"
on a one-night stand route, trust
ing to the Fred Stone reputation
to pull in the dividends. The mis-
take was to ever attempt to put
this musical over on Broadway,

keen and reputation means very

When better dragged in by
the ears" parts are written
Skeets Gallagher will probably
get them. He's getting a trifle
tiresome in these alcoholic frolics
particularly when he is forced to
stick in a laugh even though it
hardly belongs. Such as in

Adolphe Menjou found him an
undignified and unne &c sary

I'm in favor of dry platform
for Skeets Gallagher. He's too
good a comic to be wasted on

that are generally the same and
sound as though written in by

GayetyLishts Up
With a Poppy
Attraction

Headed by two Of the prettiest
girls on the Empire circuit, the
Misses Ann Corio and Joy ST.
Clair, Jimmy Lakes Girls From
Dixie" got off to a fine start as
the opening show for the Gayety's
new season, which Manager Lake
predicts will be the greatest in the
history of burlesque.
Ann Corio all real followers OF
burlesque know and appreciate.
In washington she has one Of the
largest followings of any female
star and bids to add number OF
the visiting firemen who came
here for the Labor Day parade,
and took in the show, to her list.
Joy st. Clair is virtually a new
conner to these parts, making her
first appearance in the late spring
Her first name in truly symbolic.
Her smile is the most natural one
to flash across the fightlightS for
a long time, and it doesn't wear
off as the others do. Her looks
eclipse that of most of our movie
queens. See for yourself.
Besides this duo, the "Dixie
Girls" have in Bee Keller and
Evelyn Brooks an attractive
blonde and redhead who are quite
talented. Dot Alexander, the lit
tie singer and dancer, gets in some
effective work, while tiny Mar
garet Levy steps out in front with
some snappy dancing.
The comedians, and there were
three of them, were good, and had
they been given newer material
could have probably extracted
many more laughs than they did.
Bimbo Davis is always good for
some laughs, especially with his
French pantomime skit which he
explained for the audience. His
co-workers are Johnny Barry and
George Levy. Lew Denny still car
ries the straight roles in his eff
cient manner, while Irving Witt
also satisfies. The chorus shows
the need of more schooling, al
though some of it's members are
really proficient.
