Nadia Scores a Hit
AS Gayety Star

Now it is the Gayety Theater
which gives over to the Cossack
spirit. No mood OF Slavic melan-
choly is there here, to be sure, for
Russia is represented at Jimmy
Lakes Ninth street opera house by
Nadia and Nadia if life and excite
ment and fire Nadja-the Countess
Nadia. her billing proclaims-is no
mere "strip-tease' dancer. She has
talent, does la comptesse, and when
she gets on stage she puts it to
work. She sings, she dances-hoW
she dances!-and she has practi-
cally unbounded enthusiasm and,
we'll, yumph. The countess is very
fine here in a looming Russian
number she's just been doing in
vaudeville and in wild rhumba.
In addition to Nadja-pardon,
Countess Nadia - burlesque fans
will find "Parisian Flirts," the title
of the weeks outburst, perhaps
better than average burlesque re-
vue. 1t is better than average, at
least, on the score OF COMEDY, 1Or
the headliners in this department
are Count Reds" Marshall and
Count Murray Leonard, a pair of
veterans who know how to make
the customers happy. They get able
assistance from a pooch named
Countess Gretchen, an expert come
dienne.
There's also an accomplished ac-
robatic dancer, Countess Peggy SIM
clair; the chorus is one of the best,
at least by comparison with some
that have kicked the Gayety's
boards to splinters, and Countess
Jean Carroll and Countess Boo La
Vonn, the principal speciality artists,
are approved by the boys out front.
