The New York Clipper (January 1920)

January 14, 1920. THE NEW YORK CLIPPER 33 BURLESQUE NEWS (Continued from P l(n 17 and 31) IRONS AND CLAM AGE "ALL JAZZ REVUE" TO GET THE MONEY Warren B. Irons and Arthur damage, the stock men of Chicago and Detroit, who broke In on the American Circuit this sea- ion, gave the managers In the East an op- portunity last week to see the kind of show they think the patrons of the circuit want to see, when their "All Jan Revue" was at the Star, Brooklyn. We might say that their Judgment was good, for the show, which Is speed from the time the curtain goes up, to the finale. Is aa good an enter- tainment as one 'would care to see. The show Is In two acts and six aeenes and was produced under the personal di- rection of damage, the programme states. It Is a bit show, with fast numbers sprink- led here and there. The bits are old and. no doubt, are the best ones selected from a repertoire that damage has been giving at his two stock houses. He has three ex- cellent performers, 'with considerable stock experience, to guide the bits through, in Lou Powers. Pat Daly and Margie Castlln. The producer should be giver credit for picking the bits and scenes he did, as they ail fit in Just rteht and every one is a sure- fire laugh getter. If done right. They laughed at all of them Thursday night. The firm spared no expense In costum- ing the girls of the chorus, as each of the many sets was a variety of bright colors. This can also be said of the scenery, which Is In better condition than many other shows we have seen at this house. The light effects are good: In fact the entire equipment is In first class shape and looks aa though the show had Just opened. The comedy is in the capable hands of Powers and Daly. The former Is a clever Irishman and a very funny fellow. Daly, the second comedian. Is doing a "Dutch" character which is different than we have seen here in the past. He, too, is funny and works well with Powers. Miss Catlln stood out like a diamond among* the lady principals and as a subrette she Is all class. She has a good voice, which a soubrette seldom has, and she knows the art of getting a number over. She also reads lines and can humor a sit- uation properly. She has a wonderful per- sonality and more wonderful eyes. Its strange that some of the motion picture directors who are always looking for new faces have overlooked this young lady, as ■he no doubt would screen well and she can act. Her wardrobe Is also very at- tractive to the eye. Another young lady worth mentioning Is Nadlne Grey, the ingenue. She is a pretty young lady, who Is an unusually graceful dancer. She also does well In the few scenes she Is In. She makes a number of changes of costumes and each dress she wears is pretty and becomes ber style of beauty. Ray Kelly, a natty-looking and hard working "straight" man. -worked -well with the comedians and had several numbers which he nut over well. "Happy"' Fryer, a neat appearing fellow with a good Tjasa voice, and Boh Wolf, took care of the smaller parts but -were seen to advantage In numbers. The Morette Sisters, a small time mus- ical vaudeville act, are used in leading numbers by splitting up their act and sav- ing a part of it for a specialty In one. In which they had to work hard in order to get over. One of the hit numbers of the show was "Sweetest Baby," offered by MIbs Catlln. During the chorus. Manager Sam Relder and a lady who were "planted" ln-the aud- ience, worked the number up fine. Relder lumped up and running down the aisle to kiss Miss Catlln and the lady running down after him and rushing him out of the house. It was wen worked up and many thought It on the level. The quartette composed of Daly, Wolf, Kelly and Freyer, waa well received. The boys sang well arid harmonised nicely. The specialties offered In the Cabaret scene all went over finely and were liked by those out front. There are a lot of good looking girls la the chorus, who >eem to like their work. They dance prettily and hard In all the numbers. Irons and damage have a good show and one that should brins* home the coin -when the curtain rings down at the close of the season. . gn>.
