substitute. 1t is rowdy, hilarious and
immensely entertaining and bound
to be pleasant experience to all
who are willing that fun should
be fun without questioning the
spirit in which it is offered. The
spirit in which 1t is offered, of
course. is not the gentlest and most
respectable ever encountered in the
local legitimate theater. Definitely
it Is not.
Missing from the cast of the
production which began weeks en-
gagement here last night are but
two members of the original COM
pany, the radio comedians, Abbott
and Costello. CA long distance call
from the Shubert Office to this de-
partment explains the default as
due to the illness of Costello) If it
is a serious loss to the gayety Of
the evening, however, 1t is not per-
ceptible to the naked eye-a very
good eye, incidentally. for look
ing upon the zany antics which
take place upon the Nationals
stage.
Completely ignoring the idea that
there is any such thing as cerebral
comedy, The Streets of Paris" goes
in for the older and worthier ver-
sion of humor called slap-stick.
Most exuberant of the partici-
pants in this form of fun offered
by the revue. of course, is Miss Mi
randa. 1t takes her long time
to make her appearance. the Rnd
of the first act to be exact, but
when she arrives the delay is fully
compensated. Miss Miranda makes
the introduction of the "Souse
American" way something to be re-
membered in the annals of local
theater, sort of ecstacy which in
wolves the entire anatomy and which
nullifies completely the fact that
the Shubert sensation of the last
year sticks rather firmly to her ma
tive Portuguese. Her meanings are
quite as clear as if she were speak
ing with an accent as familiar as
that in Gone with the Wind"
That vaudeville is not dead is one
of the first and foremost things
which is proved by this robust.
effervescent revue, which has left
Broadway after highly successful
season, beginning last summer. Ac-
tually it is no more than a series
of vaudeville skits, but if there is
one of the lot that does not click it

Stan Laurel seems to enjoy
trouble. He wants to marry again,
and to my knowledge, has already
proposed to two girls since his last
bustup with Ileana. Stan has al
ready had five brides and is still so
scared of meeting up with Ileana,
ex-wife No. 5, that he has built a
high wall around his home and goes
nowhere unless surrounded by body
guards. And yet he wants to marry
again! (The ladies to whom he pro-
posed were casual acquaintances.)
The boy must be glutton for pun
ishment.
Bob Hope, the busiest man in
Hollywood, was being fitted for a
suit while rehearsing for his weekly
broadcast. The rehearsal was going
badly. II was in desperate need of
couple of good gags" Bob tells
me. Suddenly from out of the
blue, the tailor said, I know a gag,
Mr.. Hope I used it on the pro-
gram" continues Bob, land to show

another suit from him" The tailor

baby. From that moment the
studio hovered around to ask if she
were feeling all right. Way there
anything it could do? Hadn't she
better sit down and rest awhile?
Was she sure she was eating the
right things? Miss Fitzgerald's doc
tor took the studios pulse and told
it to go lie down and relax, that
everything would be all right.
Bette Davis and Jane Wyman,
both fair of complexion, have their
troubles when summer comes. Like
most Southern Californians, they
are ardent beach-goers. But War
ner Bros. keeps stern eye on them
during the warm months and allots
Miss Wyman only an hour a day on
the beach and Miss Davis none
whatever. The memory of the burns
Miss Davis suffered on her last beach
outing Is too fresh for the studio to
take any chances.
Another worry maker was George
Brent. The trouble was that he
liked to fly airplanes. The studio
wanted to do everything in its power
to make Brent happy, but it had
to issue dictim anent this hobby.
During the production of a film
Brent was grounded. And when
production was concluded and Brent
went out for day among the clouds,
the studio gnawed its nails and
strained its eyes to follow Brent in
his aerial maneuvers. But it's all
fixed now-he sold his plane and
bought a diving bell.
Pat O'Brien's don't" is more ordi-
nary. The studio has asked the
star to cut down on the number of
cigars he smokes per day when
working. He's down to six now
but the studio wonders If O'Brien
doesn't occasionally sneak few
extras when it isn't looking.

Strangest ruling of all is applied
to Priscilla Lane, now in Three
Cheers for the Irish" It was dis
covered that the tomboyish Priscilla
loves to climb trees. The young
lady was told to stay on the ground
and out Of the branches as long as
she is engaged in the business of
making motion picture. The stu
dio, in brief but cogent phrases, said
it didn't want one of its pets out

dio. When he is working in film
he is ordered not to go sailing, not
to go hunting and practically any
thing else hazardous that the studio
knows Mr.. Flynn is likely to do any,

Brenda Marshall. who made her
screen debut in Espionage Agent"
has been told that she may not wear
slacks. Nor may she cut her hair
shorter than her shoulder length

present Miss Marshall as an ultra
feminine personality as Enrol
Flynn's leading lady in The Sea
Hawk" and doesn't want the young
actress to spoil the act.

ing more solicitous attention at the

The French motive of the revue,
in the richest sense of French mo-
tive" is established in the opening
scene, one of those irreverent, mock
ing things, which Is not for the res
olutely sensitive. From there, the
revue works around to its most
melodious moments. in which Mil
ton Watson Successor to Jean
Sablon) sings such pleasant bits

Gilbert, whose dancing has a lot
to do with the enjoyment of the
evening, contributes Importantly to
the success Of this particular num-
ber as well as those which follow.
The things Miss Gilbert can do
with whirling pirouttes give a new
meaning to grace.
THE Streets of Paris" is very
sound in its assumption that Miss
Gear and Mr.. Clark are the right
people for comedy, the broad and
innuendoish kind of comedy. They
make their first appearance together
in a skit called THE Photographer"
"a number of others assisting-and
when they finish there is not much
doubt that the interval is as funny
as it is unrefine0
The first moment the comedy pair
work without support is that devoted
to a skit in which Mr.. Clark, who is
much funnier than he was in the
movies, accomplishes the sardonic
rs it Possible" as a vocal duet with
the capable prima donna, Della
Lind.
Almost as slow as it is in coming
to Miss Miranda is the show as it
moves toward another of its more
worthy comic characters, Think-a-
Drink Hoffman. This particular
sensation of comedy, a gent who
will take the audiences order for
virtually any alcoholic concoction
(although we sampled none of them)
is just about the most laughable
fellow who has been around since
Richard Haydn did his fish imita-
ton last year in set to Music"
A second act that moves more
rapidly than the first is more or
less inevitable in The Streets of
Paris" if only for the reason that
the latter is by far the shorter. Par
ticularly bright among its features
is "A Noel Coward Custom" in
which Miss Gear and Mr.. Clark are
emphatically irreverent toward q
Noel Coward custom in revues with
music.
AS in the first act, Miss Miranda
is tardy in her appearance, coming
on only to close the show. No disre-
spect to her genius is implied in the
statement that 10 and Jean Read
inger's dancing, the music of Jimmy
McHugh and Al Dublin, the vocal
izing of Milton Watson, the lowell
ness of the Shubert chorus and the
settings by Lawrence Goldwasser

Mountain Beaver
(Aplodontia rufa phaea)
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

There are some grounds for call
ing this small animal the mountain
peaver, ground beaver, underground
beaver and muskrat beaver; and
also Tor the names seWellel, noun
tam boomer and kick willy, but the
name, mountain beaver, is the one
most commonly used. In the genus
Aplodontia, in which this animal
mas been placed, we find rodents
the size of a small woodchuck or
rabbit. These possess a thick body,
short legs, and feet that have flve
toes. Each toe is tipped with a
very strong. long claw, and the in
ner toe serves as pusher or thumb.
The ears are almost human in their
shape. The tail is so abbreviated
as to be hidden in the deep fur. The
small eyes seem of little use, at
least in the daytime, the light ap-
parently confusing the beaver, and
besides, night is their work time
above ground, and living in the dark
burrows, the senses OF touch ana
hearing are more valuable.
The first record, as far as Is
known, is that written by member
of the Lewis and Clark expedition,
on Friday, December 10, 1905. Two
Indians brought pair OF animal
skins, which were new to these SCI
entistS. They were told the skins
were used for "she-Wal-lals' or
