September 26, 1917 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER 33 Burlesque News (Coal from Paae SO "LIBERTY GIRLS" IS GOOD SHOW (Continued from page 31.) Green and Paynton do an excellent acrobatic specialty during the action of the second act, in which they offer plenty of tumbling and falls. The act is speedy and got a big round of applause. The show is in two acts, with three scenes in the first and one in the second. The scenery is bright and attractive and the costumes pretty and well selected. They blend nicely. The chorus is pretty, the girls being mostly of one size. They do not work however, in unison in several of the num- bers. Campbell and Drew have spent con- siderable money on this show and have given a production, with plenty of scenery, costumes and a good cast, which, oo doubt, will repay daring the season.
