The show was in two parts, both staged by Joe Rose. "He called the firm part the. "Main Haters." "On and "Off" was the... name of the burlesque. Both parts were made up of bits which were well taken care of. by the principals. The numbers, which were put on .by Solly Fields, were fast" and 'prettily arranged. The girls In the'chorus worked hard and did much to assist in getting the numbers over. They.: were a pretty lot and looked well in the different sets of costumes. The comedy was handled by Rose and Harry Koler. ". " the ' former doing his , "Dutch."., while Koler again put over his Hebrew rolt-. - Both of the comedians' seemed perfectly at home in all they did. they worked nlcelv together and proved satisfactory to the audience. Sutton worked straight In the first part and BURLESQUE NEWS (Continued from Page 17.) wears clother well. In the burlesque he was a sheriff from the West, portraying the character in a truly Western way. ...Eugene West Is the new straight man who, succeeded Gibson after he closed here the Saturday before, to Join a road show. West is a good tal.ter, and, al- though he was not in many scenes, did himself justice. ._.-••. . ; '■ Miss Lorraine was In most Of the scenes and worked in them na she usually does, reading her lines and "feeding" the co- medians nicely. She displayed a number Of pretty gowns. Norma Bell handled her numbers well and got them over. Helen' Adair did nicely in the scenes, looked pretty, put her numbers over and offered a good wardobe. Grace Seymour kicked high, danced gracefully and offered her numbers so that they called for encores. Babe Qulnn was very successful with her "Dancing 'Neath Dixie Moon" num- ber, assisted by the chorus. She did so well that they had to give two encores. She also introduced a pretty little dance during her number. The "Woman Haters Union" bit was offered by Koler, Rose, Sutton and the Misses Lorraine, Bell, Adair and Sey- mour, and.lt went over well. The "dia- mond pin" bit was nicely put over by' Rose, Koler. - Sutton and Miss Lorraine. The "echo" bit pleased as done by Koler and West on the stage and Rose off stage. The "hat" bit was another that went over well. as.offered by Rose, Koler and Sutton. A very pretty ballad which Fields staged, was cleverly worked out by the chorus, which finished with Miss Lor- raine singing "Nightie Night." It was a pleasing number and the girls in their dainty costumes looked very attractive and danced gracefully. The comedy quartette of Koier, Rose. Sutton and West worked a good share of laughs and sang well. Miss Bell's "In the heart of the Rose" number was very pleasingly rendered. • It was also staged well and the electrical effects added much to Its success. The "table" bit went over all right as put over by Koler, Rose, Sut- ton and the Misses Lorraine, Bell and Adair. t'' : Miss Seymours "Highland Scotch Mary" number was •>— «. The -•/sucker" bit which closed the first part was very wen done and the audience liked it. with Koler as the -^sucker." The others In this bit were Rose. West.
