EDITORIAL

The students of the Senior High
School have made an appeal to their re-
representatives. in Council 10 provide free
transportation to and from school. For
economical reasons the Senior High
School was established at Annals Hope.
This entails an expense for transDorta-
ton which these students can i'll afford
to meet, and for the small matter of
transportation no member of ouncll
should like too see our striving and de-
serving youth denied higher educa-
ton.
Governor Pearson's position on this
matter is already known. He made a
personal appeal TO the Council on this
question last year. Lack of funds made
it impossible at that time. Through the
Governor 8 cooperation the Senior High
School was brought into existence and
through his efforts several scholarships
are being held open to Virgin Island
youth.
1t is not the purpose of this article to
enter into the Governors qualification
for his important Office. but TO encourage
him as long as he is Governor. to con-

people.

u The social light brigade is
charging Hollywood once
L i again. Out of the drawing
rooms, where things have
been getting a bit dull these days,
and from behind the tea and coffee
urns and the bars of smart society
come the beauties of the higher social
strata to try their luck before the
cameras.
As usual, the quest on in Hollywood
is. can they stand the gaff? II they
can. the second question is the same
one applied to all neophytes at this
shrlne-have they movie personality?
Women from the upper strata are a
bit prone to give up and go back to
the softer lights of the drawing rooms,
or the waiting arms of some young
man who will make a husband OF
sorts. But let us look over this sea-
sons crop. a rather heavy one.

If you look somewhere behind
Claudette Colbert on the Cleopatra

whose father is French consul there.

that her uncle is Rear Admiral W..

to say what will happen to Elanor

performances.
Many persons still believe that the
working men with the circus sleep on
the fiat cars under the tarpaulin-cov-
cred cages as the show trains steam
from city to city at night. Once in
a while, in very hot weather, some of
the men do this. but the humbleSt
workingman with the show has a
berth in the same type Of Pullman as
has the highest salaried star.
True, one will find no working man
occupying a lower alone. He will
share with a buddy. Only the work
ing bosses have lowers alone. Heads
of working departments occupy state
rooms. as Go executives and featured
performers. There are suites for the
stars. too. with kitchenettes. shower
baths and miniature upright pianos
Some Of the larger stellar acts, such
as the Otaris, the new European
aerial wonders who fly from an
Illuminated malteze cross, often fill
| an entire Pullman. The show owns
all of the 100 cars in the trains; the
railroads furnish only the four
engines for the night runs.
The circus, too, owns all the animals
with the show, except the horses used
by the bareback riding acts. These
horses are, of course, as much part
of the act as are the riders. There
are 700 horses in the draft and ring
stock tents of the Ringing show
Often there are dogs on the show
trains, pets owned by performers and
staff people. The rules are that they
must ride in the Cog wagon when the
show is moving. But rules are only
rules. and many a pup rides in the
suites and state rooms when the boss
isn't looking
Everything with the circus is on
wheels, except the people, the ele-
plants, the horses. ponies, canes and
zebras. These animals constitute the
led" stock and they hoof it from the
trains to the lot. The wagons and
cages travel from city to city on the
fat cars: the horses and the rest Of
the lied" stock in especially built
steel palace horse cars and the people
slumber on the nightly runs in Pull
mans.
But the people all eat alike on the
lot. and the lowest paid of the 800
people with the troupe eats the same
food in the vast dining tent as does
the general manager.

Magazine writer's flock about the
show each Spring, especially during its
Madison Square Garden engagement
in New York, and they dig up colorful
material and get it printed. News
papers carry feature stories OF lie
behind the scenes and SO on, but the
bulk of the reading public clings to
the old ideas about the circus. The
man in the silk hat and the high boots
must ever be the ringmaster in the
minds Of almost every one, when, as
as a matter of truth, the man in the
high silk hat and faultless evening
clothes is the equestrian director, VINO
directs the performances. Ringmas-
ters there are. in the rings with the
bareback riding acts, but they are
mostly ringmistreSses nowadays. In
fact the personnel of the show this
Spring was vastly intrigued by the
appearance of a real ringmaster with
the newly imported Loyal-Repenski
troupe of bareback riders. This chap
appears in smart riding tcgs, Jod-
phurs, spurs and all.
People everywhere believe that the
circus folks have slang all their
own. This is hardly true of the
Ringing -Barnum family of 500 men,
women and children. Long ago the
show heads began discouraging the
use Of the old-time small-show slang.
No longer are performers "kinkers'

trains to carry the show, and each

BROADHURST AND CORIO
IN GAYETY'S NEW SHOW
Best Burlesque in Many Weeks,
According to Reviewer-Good
Comedy and Music.

You can put it down in your little
red book that George Broadhurst's
Powder Puff Revue" now at the
Gayety, is a good show. With Broad
hurst and Ann Corio heading a cast
made up of better burlesque enter
tainers. this is the best the Ninth
street theater has housed in weeks.
The comedy is abundant. Broad
hurst, who is known on Broadway,
in Hollywood anC to vaudeville pa
irons throughout the land, is reputcd
to be the highest paid comic IN bur
lesque. and it is easy to see why, for
he is one of the funI.ier funny men.
A cabaret scene can he described in
only one way: it is riotous. He dance,
yodels. whistling to hit that last high
note, and plays tunes on the table
ware It's a hilarious sketch which
should not be missed. Throughout.
George has the valuable assistance Of
Joe Forte, a straight man who cannot
be bettered Harry Bentley and
Johnny Barry compose another team
which adds much to the mirth-mak-
ing. Their best effort is a family-roW
skit which just about brings down
the house. Eddie Innes. who fails to
look like, act like or sound like Eddie
Cantor, initiates Eddie Cantor.
The orchestra greets Ann Corio on
her return to town with the selection
Beautiful Girl" which certainly is
most fitting and proper. And Judging
from the reception the audience gives
Miss Ccrio, they too are happy to
have her back. Other than Ann. the
cast of spec atty dancers is so We
rounded that none stands out. Each
of them-Evelyn Brooks, Darlin'
Lucky, Jackie La Mari and Anna
Smith-easily could deserve the next
to-closing spot reserved for the fea-
tured entertainer.
Vocal leads this week are taken
by Fred Bishop and Minnie Mae
Moore, each possessing a voice to
which it Is distinct pleasure to
listen. The entertainment is rounded
out by decorative and well-costumed
chorus, seen to advantage in some
clever numbers. H. M.
