New Gayety Show
Is "Fun Parade"

"EUN PARADE" is the title of the
new Gayety burlesque revue and
that's just about what it is. Bobby
Morris has come back to town for one
thing, this time with better material
that gets him lot Of laughs. He's
assisted by Charlie Harris, who also
knows bit about comedy, and there
are other bits that score by Johnny
Barry, a fayorite at the Ninth street
opera house.
Leading contender for honors among
the feminine contingent is June Tay-
lor, who really isn't hard on the eyes
and who knows what it's all about
when it comes to performing the
specially which saved burlesque from
the ash heap few years ago. Boo
La Won and Evelyn Brooks are the
others on hand, the latter aiding Mr..
Barry considerably in his laugh rou-
tines.
There's chorus, of course, to en-
liven things and the whole show has
been given bright touch by Jimmy
Lakes canny staging.

quered looking as Shirley Temple,
made her name in motion pictures.
But she makes no bones about liking
the stage better. She admits it Is
harder work. but she prefers it, and
thinks the player gets great deal
more of the joy Of creation out of a
stage role. Does that mean she is
turning her back on picture work?
1t does not. She and her husband
both have a great interest in pic
lures. But. she thinks the two should
not be so thoroughly mixed as some
players and writer's mix them. She
feels that such division of atten-
tion, fitting from one to the other,
interferes with ones best work in
either.
You get one Of your best ideas Of
Miss Cummings honesty. sincerity
and unaffectedness when you talk to
her about her first picture, good
while ago.
Il was supposed to be one of those
sophisticated English, types" she says.
And, was l awful? After two weeks
spent in discovering that I, having
been born in the Far West had not
worked up to the sophisticated Eng
lish type. they got some one else.
After that l got into a series OF pic
lures in which l was always some
ones unimportant daughter. 1t
seems there were millions of them,
looking back on it, but guess there
weren't"
Most actresses would rather forget
such things. But not Constance
Cummings. She even is happy to re-
mind you of it. Maybe that's why
she could not play that sophisticated
English type in her first picture. And
maybe that's why she became the wife
of young English playwright who
can dash off sophisticated English
types by the dozen!

THERE is one respect in which Mr..
