WANT TO BUY WARDROBE KAHN PUTS ON SPECIAL FEATURE FOR THE 27TH DIVISION Last week's show at Kahn's Union Square Theatre, was a combination of patriotism, comedy, good music and dancing. Kahn baa added two new members to bis cast In Mae Dlx and Edith Burton, two rather attractive beauties of different type. Tlie entertainment was in two parts, both by Billy Spencer. They were called "Two Good Liars" and "A Trip Around tre World." Spencer and Hackey handled the comedy In such a manner that even those who usually drop into the honse tor a tew moments only were amused and waited throughout the per- formance. Spencer, as "Grogan, and Mackey as "Adolpb," were very funny. James X. Francis did the straight. While Brad Sutton took care of the characters, bis portrayal of the sailor In the burlesque being particularly good. Hiss Lorraine, wearing several new gowns, was seen to advantage In the scenes. Louise Pearson did well with her lines and rendered numbers acceptably. Sbe also displayed sev- eral new gowns that were attractive. • Babe Wellington worked hard in ber num- bers and got them over well. Her voice is Improving. Mae Dlx, the soubrette. worked ber way through the performance with plenty of speed. This is the first time we have seen her work around New York since last season, when she was with the "Sliding" Billy Watson Sbow. Sbe certainly has all ber old time ginger and that smiling personality that made her so popular with theatre goers. She Is a fast soubrette and puts her numbers over with no end of speed to good results. Sbe dances well and Is a good addition to the Kahn Stock Companv. Edith Burton, a pretty anbnrn beaded In- genue, who Is new to borleBque. bad several numbers that sbe sold well. She did nicely in a dancing specialty down late In the show and wore pretty dresses. The "argument" bit, which ended with Spencer's shirt front being all marked np, was well done by Spencer, Mackey, Sutton and Francis. The "pussy willow" bit seemed to please Mis the way it was offered by Mackey, Spencer and Francis. The "Two Liars" scene was well worked p by Spencer, Mackey Sutton, and the liases Lorraine, Pearson, Dlx and Burton, The comedians worked so hard and fist In thlB scene that they hardly gave the women an opportunity to read their lines, a mistake that often happens here. The scene, how- ever, went over big. Miss Dlx, in a specialty which she offered In one, scored a success. Sbe only sang One number, but It was well received. Spencer and Mackey followed with a com- edy specialty that was well liked. Daring this act, Mackey, without the assistance of the orchestra, sang three good Irish songs In a clear sweet voice most cleverly, and they were appreciated by the house. The act ended with. Spencer doing a fast Irish reel that received a big band. The last scene of the first act, the chorea representing boys ot the Twenty-Seventh Division coming down the gang i plank :M the steamer and later marching under the Victory Arch on Fifth Avenue, brought forth an outbnrat of applause. Miss Pearson led this number. It was well staged and was a fine scenic effect. It was Kahn's idea of a greeting for New York's returned heroes. Spencer, Mackey and Sutton work up the "Imaginary drunk" bit very well at the opening of the burlesque. The "Salvation" number was well done by Miss Lorraine. The "slate" bit was good for laughs the way It was offered by Mackey, Spencer and Sutton, Francis, Mackey, Spencer, Sutton Miss Pearson bandied the handcuff bit well, and Miss Pearson's "Hindustan" number was liked. The "drinking" bit went over well, as presented by Spencer, Mackey, Button and the Misses Lorraine and Dix. The tour men, working in one, as a comedy quartette, filled is tbe time nicely while the stage was being set for tbe big dance finale. Miss Burton also offered a neat singing and wooden shoe dancing specialty here. The "Ballet Toyland" was seen again last week with "Athena" in a classic dance and repeated Its success of the previous week. Miss Dlx went big with her "Ja Da" num- ber, getting several encores. Babe Wellington pleased the way she put ber "Down on the Farm" number over. The chorus worked bard and was well costumed. The house was crowded, last Fri- day night. . SID.
