With Jane cast as the wildcat Of
a naval air base, and the juvenile
star gets into so much mischief
that a sailor bodyguard is assigned
to her. With hundred Winsome
personality tricks Jane soon is said
to win her jailer over to her side,
and the two of them go on a ram

Anthony Martin, as the COB

only a tonic for the nerves but a
great help in arranging his 70.

Also features in the cast are
Joan Davis, FL Brendel and Joe

and as gay a piece of business as
you will see in a month Of Sun
days. It has been many weeks
since the Gayety presented a revue
in which each Of the principals
rated as high as they do in this
show. The troupe composing this
performance is as fine, individually
and collectively, as Ninth Street
has seen this season.
Joe De Rita and Harry Meyers
do the comedy end in high, wide
and handsome style. The comics
are not above pulling off a few
brand new and sparkling gags,
either.
AS for the distaff side Of the en-.
tertainment, "Top Hat Revue" has
three remarkably beautiful girls,
Red-headed and voluptuous Doro'
thy Sewer, black.haired and sophis'
ticated Joan De Lee and the pert
delectable and blonde Irma Voge
lee, who is an excellent dancer-a
trio with whom it would be q
pleasure to be shipwrecked on any
isle, desert or otherwise.
AS an extra added attraction, the
management presents Mae Brown
in Strip-tease act de luxe.
A sepia team, Wade and Wade
carried off the individual honorS
of the evening with their dance
routine. This boy and girl have
been seen here before, and they
always put on a good act.

A FRANK PROBLEM
"The Mulatto" presents frankly
a problem that it is is said has en-
gagged the South since slavery
days. Some chapters in the family
life of Col. Thomas Norwood, Polk
county, Georgia, planter are livid'
ly portrayed in all their unSavory
aspects.
Colonel Norwood runs his plan
tation on the theory fixed by tradi-
ton and custom, white brains
and black hands. That's the way
of the South" The cotton pickers
are born to toll in the fields and
keep their place.
This normal design for Dixie
living is upset when two of Colonel
Norwood's offsprings, fruit of an
unconventional domestic alliance
with his houSekeeper, come to
their Cedartown home after ac-
Quiring education in the North.
Robert Lewis wants to come In
by the front door and have his
paternity recognized. He refuses
to submit to the yoke Of the cotton
picker and flaunts his superiority
over his blacker brothers. The
comely Sally, his sister, gentle and
wiser in the ways of the world,
reluctantly submits to community
rule.
The rebellion Of Robert against
the hard and fast code of race
equality meets the stubborn and
flinty resistance of those who
would bring 'em up dumb" and
Servile, and Playwright Hughes
has fired it with the fervor of an
oppressed people.
Colonel Norwood stands as the
symbol of the accepted order. His
recalcitrant half-white, impudent
and defiant. forces the inevitable
clash with the bitter tragedy.
Never a pleasant exposition of
a complex problem, THE Mulatto'

Although the nationally cele-
brated event Is still some three
weeks distant, the spirit Of st.
Patrick'S Day has gripped Variety
Club members in an awfully large
number.
Variety Clubbers, their wives
and friends are to go on what is
perhaps a most unusual kind Of
cruise on the night Of Wednesday,
March II. It's to be known as a
Cruise to Ireland" aboard the s.
S. Variety. The gangplank will
be boarded at the clubs Willard
Hotel quarters and the various
ports to be made will be spread
over large area Of Mr.. Sommer'
ville's hostelry.
The event is the brain child Of
Washington's eminent spinologist,
DR.. Frank T. Shyne. The ingen-
ious doctor conceived the noe
turnal cruise on land to the land
of Erin and for his mental efforts
he has been commissioned Skipper
Isadore Nathan Shyne. He will
have as his coskipper the social
activities chairman Of the club,
Blarney Kranz. Assistant shippers
for the hard-floor voyage are j.

nick Dougherty and Michael

is WELL ACTED
Stuart Beebe plays the unhappy
Colonel Norwood with cold dignity
and dominance, where possible.
His mode of living and the weak
phases of his character are so &C
centuated he is never able to con-
jure any substantial appeal. But
it is, I feel, perfect exposition Of
the playwright'S intent.
Hurst Amyx plays the obstreper-
GUS Robert for every ounce of
value and Miriam Battista (pleas-
antly recalled as the child star of
"Humoresque" and now resen-
bling Sylvia Sidney did a splendid
piece of acting the role Of Sally.

of sepia actresses; Harry Hanlon,

berg were others who gave the
playwright distinguished service.
