There are some others, but above will serve to give the flavor of the "humor" in "Gay Paree." The show, of course, la not with- out its pleasant points and twists. It brlRtles with hlgh-prtced person- alities and one or two surprise new- comers. Of the latter, Alice Boulden. a blonde ponfectlon whose profes- sional experience hitherto had been working in Texas Oulnan's floor Bhows, where she sang "Hard- Hearted Hannah" so that it was heard around the globe, is the cream. Pretty as a lollypop, formed like a wholesome young goddess, with a sure-fire smile and melodious, mel- low plpps, Alice put over several numbers with startling success. She was costumed to nplendld advan- tage. ,She showed supremo confi- dence without verging on impudence, and stood out like a stalwart young pink carnation In a hothou.se bou- quet of garish poppies and mildewed weeds.

NEW TORK Dorothy Barber, an amazingly pretty and supple young dancer, stepped at her nimble heels. Hav- ing made good in several simple numbers, she came through as a sensation In a semi-contortion dance in the wedgewood scene, one of the best in the show. She is not a tyro, but this revue sends her far along in her career. The comedy burdens are carried by Billy B. Van, Chic Sale, George Le Maire, Eddie Conrad, Winnie Llghtner and Newton Alexander. All seasoned players, they work with that touch of experience and ex- pertness which at times give a gleam and a highlight to the drab, deadly material imposed upon them. Con- rad, who is never allowed to get out of one tone, clicks, and Van is all over the show with that winsome method of tomfoolery which almost cleans up some of the dirt. Le Maire is a tower of strength as the straight man, at which he has no equal anywhere. Miss Lightner has perhaps the poorest stuff to do that sfie has ever fallen heiress to in her whole stage life, but she survives on the gifts God gave her, which cannot be in- undated completely. Her specialty songs are flat, her scenes are never better than fair (except one bur- lesque In which Conrad souses her wltti water a« she takes a top note in a ballad—one of the few clean and comical moments), and In the one good song she has, "Wide Pants Willie," she knocks in a hit which will sizzle up and down Broadway as one of the big hits of the season. Sale does his vaudeville stuff I rgely, being augmented by a chorus in his church scene, a finish which struck the audience silent, because It seemed to be taking liberties with solemn things. Sale Is, as always, the character artist, a star every second he ta in view. Haley gets mostly straight supporting to do, some of it not very easy, and carries it nicely. He is a valuable and pre- sentable Juvenile, and can sing, too. Salt and Pepper seemed to have friends out front, or maybe the au- dience fell for them (as they did for Prosper and Maret) so hard because their stuff was clean. If they are Salt and Pepper, the rest of the .show should be called Tabasco and Turpentine. The boys harmonize well and are nice to the eye. They get recognition on falsetto notes which, to the mind of this reporter, win hold them back in show busi- ness. Many of the scenes are Roiseous: some are truly inspired with touches of art In de.<«lRn, exenition, staKirm' nnd costuming. The dance ensotn- hles hy ICarl I.lnd.^ny are fine exam- ples of pop, speed, grace and dircc-
