Jean Lee q Hit
AtGoyety

Melody Maids" new show at
Col. James Lakes Gayety, features
a very beautiful bit of fluff in Jean
Lee and also boasts a topnotch
comic in the person Of Billy Ha-
gen.
Not that these two carry the
show. There are other principals,
not to mention a very enticing
chorus aided by a snappy ward:
robe. The show. as a unit, is well
integrated and moves with beautl-
full and entertaining precision.
Jean Lee, a platinum-haired bit
of beauty, takes the audience by
storm in some tantalizing num-
bers. Her song numbers. as we
have indicated. were well received
and. personally, we could have
stood a great deal more.
Bill Hagen, the cheese and
crackers" comedian, seems to have
taken the elixir Of youth. His work
yesterday SurpaSseS his efforts OF
recent seasons, though we don't
means to infer that he was ever a
SLOUGH. He gets over some pretty
zippy comedy in the present re-
vue.
Louise Phelps, q comely blonde;
Jean Cation, also easy on the eyes,
and Mildred Adaire, the last
named being a singer Of unusual
charm, give the show a complete
quota Of feminine pulchritude.
Moreover, there is Joyce Brazeale.
very clever dancer, who has o
routine o. bewildering variety.
Betty Palmer, in talking parts
and as foil for the comedians, does
a most acceptable job.
Bert Marks, Hebrew comic, and
Jack Russell appear to very fine
advantage in comedy roles.
The show is well up to par and
entertaining from start to finish.

with sulphurous oaths and is as
dirty in it's frankness and moral
implication as you care to make it.
The role of Jeeter Lester Is as
completely dominating and as
thoroughly revolving as the Juno
of O'Casey's drama Of the pig-sty
Irish.
Henry Hull plays Jeeter with
the caked-on dirt, the tattered
overalls and the tobacco squirting
technique that makes it a triumph
Of makeup, at least. It is an art
full characterization, garniShed
with a few tricks that smack OF

tering with solid conviction and,
think, with something resemb-
ling appeal.
HULL IS INAUD1BLE
Hull is a fine actor but he should
get the pitch of the National Thea
ter. They were complaining last
night that he was inaudible in the
seventh and eighth rows, and !
recognize the complaint as valid,
inasmuch as some of his speeches
were hurried and mumbled and
lost before they crossed the foot
lights. May speak for the first
and second balconies which are
sold out for the entire week and
deserve a better break from this
star.
Mary Servoss as Ma Lester re-
vealed the best voice in Tobacco
Road" and Haila Stoddard in the
role of Pearl, one with few
speeches and depending mostly for
effect on expressions, gave a beau
tiful performance. The veteran
Fiske O'Hara appears briefly but
effectively as Georgia banker
and Pauline Drake, Hallene Hill,
Leon Ames and Priscilla Knowles,
Donald Barry, Howard Banks and
Dick Lee in the other parts serving
acceptably.
Tobacco Road" is played in a
single setting made the more real
istic by a load or two of genuine
and dirty soil.
