 tertainment Tonight

Naugatuck, May 9. = Take 1t from anybody who saw '"The Gay Nineties Revue" presented last night by the U. s. Rubber Company Girls Club at the Gem theater, if the Nineties were as gay, refreshing, beautiful and entertaining as was last nights show, the hands of Time should be turned back so we would be living in that era again.
 All of which is a round-about way of stating that the show last night was easily the best of it's kind presented here in many years. It sparkled with color, vivacity and life and the numerous girls who par ticipated in 1t could have held their own with any glamour girls of the gay nineties.
 The theater was packed to ca pacity with over 50 standing, and another large crowd is anticipated tonight when the performance will be repeated. All who saw 1t last night agreed the show was one oi the most outstanding ever presented here.
 It was marked by fine solo sing ing, a good chorus, variety, much humor, clever dancing and beauti- full scenes. Particularly effective was a boot room scene of the sos with Fritz Klambt as the foreman Ed Hahn, Vernon Carten, Luke Czarny, Cal Wright, Bob Van Allen and Charles Ware as bootmakersi Ida Schwartz as the odd stock boy Lillian Cordett, Phyllis Chestone Gertrude O'Brien, Mary Lambert Marion Salisbury and Alice Dethlef. sen as shoemakers.
