farewell appearance at the Gayety

but she still shows the noted
charms that bring the customers
in.
Mona Martin and Josie Carroll,
two lovely bits Of fluff, appear in

her comedy bit with Harry Lam

a rowdy audience, an audience
which, when bored, Missed, hooted

training was savage, requiring
youth, spirit and ability. It tough

moods of the crowd. His teach
ers-the veterans-were kind and
generous; urged him on.
Fannie Brice explains how she
got her first job in burlesque:

classy title, not dreaming it was
a burlesque show. It turned out

the pet kitten on the Madame

despite that, all cats were baniShed
