Of Goyety's
BurIesque

Three outstanding personalities
Of the burlesque world mark the
Gayety show this week. Peanuts
Bonn, Ernestine Myers and Billy
Arlington are enough to guaran-
tee the success Of any show.
The versatile Mr.. Bohn, diminu.
tive comedian, proves as big a hit
as ever with his humorous antics.
He represents a new approach to
humor in burlesque-a clever kind
Of Glowing that is a JOY to watch.
The art of the Strip-tease comes
into its own with ErneStine Myers.
There never has been at the
Gayety before an act Of this kind
presented with as much theatrical
effect and finesse. Miss Myers
elevates this speciality onto a new
plane. Extremely beautiful and
exotic, she has the advantage Of q
gorgeous musical background for
her act.
Billy Arlington, rotund and
jovial comic, Is Joy to watch. He
works throughout the show with
a great wealth Of infectious good
humor and his antics are good
enough to rank with the best.
The svelte and good.looking Dor
othy Ahearn is another of the
feminine artists whose work de.
serves special mention.
The show throughout is rich in
Specialties and presents some
superfine vaudeville turns, includ-
ing two sepia dancers who really
go to town in big way.
The show in every respect rates
as one of the best the Gayety has
staged this year and to miss Ernes-
tine Myers is to miss the best act
Of its kind seen here. RS.
