Evelyn Myers
Is New Star
AtGoyety

Colonel Jimmy Lake presents
quite a variety Of entertain
ment at the Gayety this week,
and headlines his show with a
glamorous platinum blonde, Eve
Ign Myers.
This petite damsel is artful,
and possesses charm, coupled
with grace and poiSe. There is
something about her that
appeals to everyone. She glides
and dances with an air becom-
ing to q certain famous flicker"
star. Whether this has been
acquired or is natural, is diff
ficult to say. But she does,
and it is enticingly good.
The bill Of fare is studded with
various acts, put on in an order
that never allows the program
to become monotonous. Ben
Hamilton supplies a goodly
tenor, as a background for the
chorus numbers, while Dorothy
Sewer talks, sings and dances
gingerly throughout.
Strangely enough, the three
comics, whose mamas and
papaS must have huddled to-
gether, all have Harry" as
their name. They are Myers,
Evanson and Seymour, who
lend their Slapstick art to create
the chuckleS for these out
front.
Joan De Lee tries her hand
at singing, but does better as
an added tease artist. She has
everything that 1t takes, but is
not allowed enough time to get
over, because Of competitor with
the star, Evelyn Myers.
Those who frequent Colonel
Lakes "Opry" house, will find
his current attraction, spicy
and entertaining. R. H. S.

in Max Reinhardt's spectacular
stage production, 1.-THE Eternal
Road" and occasionally featured
on the screen; Whitney Bourne,
who appeared in two Ben Hecht-
Charles Macarthur films;
Princess Natalie Paley, who was
in Sylvia Scarlett";; and Eve
Symington, now singing at New
York night clubs, and Hope Will
liams, who won fame on the
stage.
Then, of course, there is Bea-
trice Lille, sophisticated musical
comedy star, who is Lady Peel
in private life.
Perhaps the most recent re.
cruit from high society ranks is
Luli Deste, whose first bid for
American attention was in the
Edward G.. Robinson picture.
Thunder in the City," Miss
Deste was born in Bavaria OF
Austrian parents, Baron and
Baroness Bodenhausen.
Several other young ladies
who rate socially are now in
Hollywood awaiting their big
chance. Among them are Polly
Rowles, of Pittsburgh society;
Lynn Gilbert, of Chicago's up
per strata, and Patricia Ravens
Monteagle, who springs from
San Francisco's top crust.
Jane Wyatt, whose big
chance is the leading feminine
role opposite Ronald Colman in
Frank Capra's Columbia road
show production, Lost Hori'
zon," showing at the Metropoli-
tan Theater, seems to have been
more successful than the ma
jority of her fellow-blueblo ods.
She was featured in several
Broadway stage plays and was
strongly complimented by Man
haitian dramatic critics.
For a time after she began
acting Miss Wyatt was absent
from the Social Register, which
froWns on that sort Of thing.
But last year she married the
socially sound Edgar Bethune
Ward and the Register returned
her to the fold.
