McNALLY n East usth Strtat New York Read the CUPPER Letter list CAPITOL Somehow, we are led to expect a great deal from the CapltoL Maybe It la Med Wayburn that causes one to look forward to a maximum of entertainment at this house; In fact, we'll any It la. But, In his present offering*, which he pleases to call "Ned Wayburn's Sons Scenes," there is very little that lingers In the memory by reason of Its worth. Jim Toney no longer presides aa Jester in chief, aa he did hlthertofore in the essen- tially melodious "Demi-Tasse Bevue." And although he is a comedian of high calibre, one, in fact, who could easily grace and add lustre to the average musical show, it can- not be said that he was conspicuous here by reason of his absence. For graceful quip and subtle comment are not for this house. The moat noticeable feature of the "Song Scenes" is the lack of tunefulness of the numbers, for the most part Nor is the scenic Investiture as Imaginative or artistic as in the former show. However, "The Seven Wonders of the World" number, ren- dered by Frank Johnson and Donald Kerr, assisted by fourteen youthful and pretty maidens, was effective. The setting Is a huge inkwell-calendar, from whose interior the girls emerge successively as the first aeven days of the month are indicated, r A happier note might have been struck in this number if the background of the setting were not so funereal. The best number of all was "Dardanella." sung and danced by Donald Kerr, Pearl Regay, Lucille Chalfant, Frank Johnson, The White Way Trio and the girls. There Is something begullling about the admixture of strange melody and odd rhythms In this tune. "The Captive," dance by Evan Burrows Fontaine, has been seen so often here and hereabouts that further comment about it is unnecessary, except that we think It about time that Miss Fontaine danced something new. The. Le Grohs scored deservedly, with their acrobatic novelty. Lucille Chalfant was In excellent voice in the solo number that she sang and the "Louisville" number. Bung by Pearl Regay and the White Way Trio, gave Wayburn a chance to put over one of his favorite stunts, ensemble buck dancing; with sparks flying from the danc- ers' heels. In the old days. Wayburn him- self was a buck dancer, which may or may not account for this number. "Darktown Dancing- School" and "On the Road to Mandalay" were -sung respectively by Donald Kerr and Frank Johnson. The setting, especially the back drop, bad a familiar look about it. Since when, Messrs. Wenger.and Wayburn, have Scot- land's highlands-taken on .the aspect of Ari- zona's sun-reddened peaks? The answer to which probably is: since there was a number in the last show called' " Arizona." . We were also reminded of the last show in the finale number called "Say it with Flowers." The Betting contains the same spiral staircase tower used so effectively in Lieut. Fernand Thetion ® Co. A Sensational Novelty Act 'At The French Action Field' NAN SANDELL DANCER WITH RAYMOND HITCH COCK'S "HITCHY KOO-* JONES <a JONES Southern Levee Types SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY NEW the rendition of the very tuneful "Come to the Moon" number . The feature picture la a Metro production called "Should a Woman Tell?" in which Alice Lake is the featured player. Our an- swer is she shouldn't, because it's nobody's business, not even her husbands. But, of course, if a pretty young girl likes a rich woman's nephew too well, why, it is en- tirely up to her to tell about the "little af- fair" -which she probably enjoyed at the time, too. Otherwise, why would she have suffered herself to be, etc. Anyhow, there are some beautiful sets and scenes in the picture. But the story's hardly worth the splendid production; it's thin, to say the least. The balance of the film program Included an always worth while Prizma, a news reel, Hy Mayer's Travelogue and a Jimmy Aubrey comedy called "Dames and Den- tists." Nathaniel (erstwhile yclept Nat) Finston, wielding the baton while his Symphony Or- chestra rendered a group of classical num- bers by Dellbes and Thomas, received de- served applause for the spirited manner in which he led his musicians.
