IF VAUDEVILLE COMES BACK
 In Variety last week Joe Laurie, one of the pillars of tho Blg Time, amusinglv scrivened about the two and three-a-day vaudeville shows. If it ever comes back, which is doubtful Cbecause radio Is paying them better wages), this Is what to expect.
 The two club men from Prince ton. They come on in toppers and opera capes. When one of the pair throws the other fifteen feet In the air, you know the worst they're acrobats.
 The milking exit. The team, usually dancers, give the audience those looks saying You want nore9" and drag out the bows and then fail to come through with the promise.
 The legit star picking up 6 little pocket sugar in a "limited vaude- vile tour" She has a twelve min- ute sketch allowing her four gowns, three lovers and the stage all to herself ct the finish.
 The juggler with the assistant with the heavenly garns, who tells the sapers "paY. some attention to ME-"
 The International Favorite. This artist, usually femme from the Paris spots, carries Q spieled to build up the entrance. She peers at the peasants down her nose, staggers through three dances and lays enough eggs to make a very tasteless omelet.
 The confidential dirt disher. Who's squiring who backstage, and--corne closer, folks--that number two team aren't man and wife at all. She's crazy about me. Shsshl
 The flicker has-been who is in- trodliced with a film showing scenes from his hits. Then he plays a sketch which lets you know why he was fired off the payrolls.
 Blackface monologists with the blue gags. The cork lets them get away with off-color stuff that would put MinslSy in jail.
 The flash acts. Mostly dance numbers. The little girl (37 last May) falls asleep and dreams her little dolls come to life and dance for her. The audience usually joins her in slumber.
