"GREETINGS OF 1894"
GAYETYS ATTRACTION
Chinese Magician Gives a Rare
Entertainment, While Bur-
lesque Rates Well.

The Gayety is inaugurating the New
Year with a fast moving and diversified
show, Greetings of 1884" headed by Ii
Ho Chang and his company. This par
ticular Oriental and his helpers put on
as mystifying a performance as one
would wish to see. His featS of magic
range from changing water into wine,
beer or milk to making a girl disappear
into thin air. 1t is 20 minutes Of rare
entertainment that just about outshines
the burlesque half of the program.
For the 'burly' half the manage
ment offers such feminine stars as
Billie Diamond, Tangara, Hilda Hen
derson, Joanna Slade and Mickey
ONeill. Miss Diamond with her sing
ing and Miss ONeill with her dancing
are the features of this half of the
program. In the comedy role is to be
found a newcomer to Washington bur-
leSque, Peanuts" Bohn, who is just
a little better than the comedians in
the past in that he presents something
different. He is aided by two partners,
Tommy La Vine and Frank Harcourt,
with Gene Allen as Straight" Allen
also is heard to advantage in a few of
the song numbers
