Its construction was not as well ar- ranged. It was a bit slow wltb four or Ave table bits almost following the other in the first act- While these bits were good a better variety of different kinds of bits would hare polished off the show ranch better. The numbers were well arranged. The first part was called "The Midnight Cab- aret." "Hot Dog—Coney Island" followed. The "robbing" bit, when Button sold the restaurant to Mackey and Spencer, was well done. This started off with Mackey at one table and Spencer at the other. Then another table scene followed with Mackey and Spencer baying a meal and wine for Miss Lorraine. Sntton wanted Mackey to pay, but he had. only a nickel. Spencer was no better off, but after Miss Lorraine had left the, room he discovered her purse, which bad-enough money In It to pay the check. A drinking bit followed at another table between Miss Lorraine and Sntton; one had water and the other wine. Sntton gave a clever recitation on liquor and Miss Lor- raine on water. Both were well done and were appreciated. The "yes-no" bit followed. Francis, as the devil, instructed Spencer and Mackey that when they wanted anything they should not take It when it was offered to them, but should say no, or In other words, act contrary to their own desires, under penalty of going to the warm place. This idea was carried out several times after this, in bits In the first act. Another drinking bit followed with the girls trying to dope the drinks so that they could get the bank roll of the men they were drinking with. Spencer opened with Babe Wellington at one table, which was followed by Mackey and Miss Dix at • the other table with Spencer as the waiter. This second scene was done in pantomime. Miss Dix wore an evening sown and It so Improved her appearance that one would hardly know her as the same person. She should always wear, when it is possible, a long dress when doing bits. The "apple" bit went over well as done by Mackey and the Misses DeVeauz and -Dix. Francis, Mackey, and Spencer put a lot of comedy In the William Tell bit. The finale of "the first part waa a comedy band with Sutton as the leader. The entire company participated In this scene. Spencer, Mackey and the Misses Lorraine, Dix, Wellington and DeVeanx appeared in the "Lemonade and Hot Dog" bit. The "water" bit wait over well as done by Mackey, Francis. Spencer and Mica Dix. The "follow the leader" bit. with Spencer and the Misses DeVeanx, Dix and Quinn doing a lot of stunts, caused amusement. Button did straight in the first part and a Dutch eccentric part in the burlesque. Francis did the devil in the first part and straight in the burlesque. Mackey, Spencer and the Misses Lorraine. Wellington, Dix and DeVeanx were seen In their usual role. Miss Pearson was missing from the cast on account of sickness. The chorus worked well in the numbers, but for some reason or other did not have the punch and did not get over the way they should have. SID.
