Mr.. Kibbee's affection for the stage

BACK several washington
sFavorites.
French Models" latest Independent
Burlesk Association production to
reach the Gayety, is a fast-moving,
clean-cut and scenic performance,
with cast made up Of II headliners.
Jerri McCauley is back, having her
self a grand time as she romps about
the stage, and making sure the gentle
men who bought tickets have a grand
time. The other speciality artist also is
well-liked locally, Miss Mary Brown.
The prima donna is a statuesque blond
person known only as Miss Juno, easy
upon the eyes and easy upon the ears.
Her rich, clear, true-toned soprano
will be heard ere long in theaters other
than burlesque. Hear her and you
will agree. Hilda Allison, premiere
danseuse is introduced as having "the
grace and charm of a gazelle." She
has the grace, but is more charming
than a gazelle. Attractive soubrette
Boots Rush works very competently
in the comedy scenes.
All of the comedy is sure-fire. It
could hardly be anything else with a
cast Of clowns headed by Hap Freyer
and including Fred Falls" Binder and
Sammy Weston, and the leading
straight man in the business, one
James X. Francis. If you want to see
a pair of the funniest skits ever done
upon the Gayety stage, you want to
see Hap Freyer tear up the Office of
Mr.. Francis and bat people about in
the "Broadcasting Company" scene
and Binder and Weston, as a pair of
tailors, successfully prove that goes
into % IS times. John Altee is seen
in some polished tap dancing. Art
ellison completes the cast, playing ad-
mirable straight man for the comics.
