PLAZA THEATRE NOTES
Roses ParIsIan Midget FolIIes

Roses farlslan Midget F0llies
Strange as 1t may seem, midgets
or little people as they prefer to be
called, have most of the ambitions,
likes, dislikes and hobbies Of aver
age, normal men and women. Take
for instance the matter of favorite
movie stars.
Every one of the clever little mem
bers of Roses Partisan Midget Fol-
lies, which opens a two day stage
engagement at the New Plaza Thea
tire on Friday, September "a, has a
decided preference for certain cine
ma stars. For example, Gladys
Nightingale, the diminutive operatic
soprano of the troupe, prefers Jean
nette Mcdonald and Nelson Eddy
an interest no doubt engendered by
her musicianship.
Vance Swift, the comedy magician.
admires the late VIII Rogers and
Patsy Kelly, while little Mary Ellen
Burbach, the May West of the Par
isian Follies, would rather see her
famous movie counterpart and Rob-
ert Taylor In pictures than eat.
Janet Gaynor and Cary Grant are
idolized by Alice Pick, the toe dane
ing member of the Pick Sisters.
while sister Gussie insists upon the
more serious artistry of Helen Hayes
and George Arliss. Princess Su-
zanne. the serpentine danseuse OF
the company. also is great admirer
of Miss Hayes as well as Of Leslie
Howard
Another great Mae West fan is ole
Katalik, the mite master Of cere-
monies, who also goes in the big |
way for the herman roles portrayed
by George Brent. And of course
what would be more natural than
for Hollis Edwards. the little ebony
hued tap dancing star of the midget
to worship the great Bill
Robinson, with Buck Jones and
Claudette Colbert running close sec
opds In his favor. Clarke Gable and
Janet Gaynor are preferred by Jean
Palf, the musical virtuosom and d.

100 PER CENT DENTAL RECORD

second in Delaware to attain 1009o
dental perfection, and the only one

this week by Miss Margaret Jeffreys.

of her department during the prev

were raised by the teachers and To-
cal colored P. T. A., under the lead
ership of Mrs. Edith Holldan, pres
ident
Eighty-eight children, ranging in
ages from six to fifteen years, had
% extractions, 35 silver filings and
88 cleanings. An old dental chair
was borrowed, set up In the school
building and the dentist carried ON
his work there.
Dental hygienists, sent by the
State Board of Health to schools
throughout the State, examine each
child and note on a card If any de-
fects are present. This card is sent
to the parents with the recommenda-
tion that corrections be made by the
family dentist. These examinations
have served to bring 10 light many
defects parents had not suspected.
and to call their attention to the SER
ious consequences that might follow
continued failure to make correc-
tions.
The Lewes colored school is con-
sidered unusual in that. during the
past school term 1t had enrolled so
boys and only 3S girls.
