By CHARLES SCHEUER. The Shubert "Gaieties," which opened here June 17, with an uneven performance closed 21st with a bigger, and better performance that included Clayton and .White. Ed Wynne and a specialty shimmy dancer. The production was in - rehearsal during the entire week and was greatly speeded up during its stay. Among the reactionary effects If its short stay was the exception taken by the Shubert organiza- tion to statements made on the first night performance by Will C. Oasseboom, Jr., critic for the Atlantic City Press. Casseboom. who retracted his faulty statements, also left the employ of the Dally Press, owing to the atti- tude of that paper, and haB become associated with the Gazette-Review in giving Atlantlo City theatre a more complete first-night sur- Mme. Olgo Petrova, who filled Keith's Thea- tre recently during the week of the American Medical Convention, will return to that theatre week July 1, following a two weeks' rest and work In other fields. She has been the big- . gest drawing card In Atlantic City for the past season of vaudeville. Belasco's production of the "Gold Diggers," at the Apollo last week to capacity business at every performance, has excited prognostica- tions as to its future here. One famous crltio and Journalist has offered a wager that the new play will "play capacity for one ysar." and the opinion Is apparently Justified. AUSTRALIA. By ERIC QORRICK. Sydney, June 4.
