taking the stage for the majority Of
the moments devoted to THE Tempt
ers," current burlesque attraction at
the house, but it has the spotlight
during the most entertaining of these
moments. The Three Luna Trix, a
trio Of "dead-pan" zanies, cavort about
in completely hilarious exhibition
Of nonsensicalities. Their acrobatics
compare favorably with the best pur-
veyed on the vaudeville circuits. The
Luna Trix constitute the principal
recommendation for the production.
Another recommendation is Gladys
Mccormack, the featured feminine
member Of the cast, who supplies the
patrons with two samples Of cred-
liable brand of revelatory technique.
Equally interesting is dark-haired
Paula Lind. another expert at the
art Of displaying charms. Miss Lind
also does diverting dance bit. Com
pleting the array OF girls are Vir-
ginia Mylie and the chorus. Miss
Mylie. sister of the vivacious Pearl,
renders able assistance to the comedi-
ans in several skits. The chorus, it
becomes necessary to report, possesses
little in its favor.
In addition to the aforementioned
Luna Trix, comedy Is supplied by

mention. Mr.. Plants characterize
