Bedini's Show
At Goyety

Jean Bedini and his Gazette"
frolic at the Gayety this week
aided by that perennially popular
funster, Lou Costello. Mr.. Bedini
takes an active part, as usual, in
his production contributing, nota-
bly,, bit of magic and juggling.
The feminine leads are taken
by Nazzaro Halo, Kitty Ellis, who
is about as beautiful young
thing as you will see this season,
and Dot Morgan.
The show is we'll mounted and
the chorus we'll drilled. The girls,
in fact, contribute much to the
show in several numbers in which
they hold the stage alone.
Harry Seymour contributes to
the comedy with Costello and
these two set quite a mark for
succeeding shows to shoot at.
Miss Halo is a vibrant person
ality and accomplished dancer.
Her numbers we're hugely enjoyed.
AS for Miss Ellis, we'll, the audi
ence couldn't get enough of her.
Marco and Gerard contribute
song numbers, their voices blend
ing beautifully.
In the action of the production
several old established bits of
burleSque are introduced. Notably
the restaurant scene, which is
given a new twist; the telephone
booth gag, and the new chief.
The show, nevertheless, is spright'
ly entertainment.
In addition to those of the cast
mentioned, Joe Lyons, Danny Ell,
more and Bunny Yvonne con-
tribute much to its enjoyment.

Busy News Reels

Alert and enterpriSing are the
news reels. Thirty-Six hours after
the first flash from the burning
Moro Castle, pictures of the sea
tragedy were being displayed on
the screens of Washington'S down
town theaters. The HearStrMetro'
tone, Fox Movietone and Para
mount camera men were on the
job in less than an hour after get
ting the first bulletin.
Apropos of the news reels the
following misSive from Jack Espey,
the hustling publicity representa-.

tory:
Dear Andy:

These pictures taken at Camp
Let's, Md, where the colOnialS
are training, are now showing
at the Columbia, Metropolitan
and Earle, brought to Denton
and the SwedeS a special wire of
cOngratulatiOn from the Para

Not only are the pictures dis
tinctly different from the usual
football training camp shots, but
there is a Semblance of cOntinu-
ity which in this case was SO
good that the New York office
did not use any SynchrOniZinE.
