Tbe Show Girl, with Hilda Thomas and a large and capable supporting company, was the Knig attraction 2Sth and week. Tbe piece con- tains some tuneful and catch; ihasic, with pretty acenlc effects and a well-costumed chorus. Tbe warm weather prevented an attendance which an attraction of this kind deserves. The Benuty Trust was the opening attraction at tbe Gayety Ausust 2S and week. The pro- dnctlon. while well oostumed and with plenty of attractive scenery. Is very much lacking In other respects. Rice and Cady are very clever and would get some laughs It they had the ma- terial. Many of tue audience W4Hidered how tbey came to use the name Beauty Tmst, vrlth a'Chorus below the average ot good looks (or a show of the kind. Business was fair. Manager Johnson, of .he Gayety. has added two rows of seats in the balcony to accommo- date the Increased business of bis house.
