I ZELLA RVSSELL HIT. The Jtoebeifer Timet, dated Aug. SB, In speak- ing of Zella Russell had tbe following to say of the "Queen of the Ivories" wltb the at, Reeves' show: "The leads are In three capablo persons, Lewis, Miss Russell and Miss George. Picking out the middle one. Miss Russell, It may be said that she would adorn the vaudeville stage or would make a name for herself In legitimate dramatics. She Is a clever woman, charming of personality, gifted wllh a winning smile, a pleas- ing voice and real histrionic ability. She carried a large part of the show. Her piano and song specialty was a treat, capitally rendered." i THE RECTOR GIRLS. (Progressive) GOTHAM, NEW YORK, SEPT. 1. Morris Walnstock'e show opened at toe Gotham, Sep:. 1, to a >ery good house. His orTering this season it one of tbe beat burlesque shows teen In many a day. Tbe show from beginning to end, up-to-the-minute, fast and clean. The coetumlng Is Al and elaborate, and include* many changes. Tbe scenery would do credit to a Broadway show, while the cast Includes a num- ber of well known burlesque performers famous in their particular line. Leo (Sneeze) Stephens Is responsible for both books, ''Ob, You Married Men" and "Seeing the Tenderloin." He also staged and produced them. The first part is extremely funny and well writtep, A number of sew aoi very funny bits are dis- tributed throughout toll first part, and the num- bers are all up-to-the-minute. The chorus of twenty girls are all shapely good lookers, last workers and good singers. The burlesque is written along the laugb Uses, and gives entire satisfaction. One of tbe bits, a burlesque on tbo pbototraoby of a moving picture scenario, It original and brimfull of laughs, and la all probabilities will be confiscated by other sbows before tbe season ends, Not one sugg>stlve line was noticeable. Tbe old style, tltp stick and bladder comedy Is misting. The Rector Glrlt Is a real twentieth century bur- lesque show, and a credit to the Progressive cir- cuit. Leo Stephens Is still there with that funny sneeze, and his work la, ts always, a big Mt, Lydia Joepy, tbe little song bird, never appeared to better advantage. Her beautiful voice was a real treat, and she bid to respond to numerous encores. Mtss Jospy bai tome beautiful coitumet, • and scored a tremendous hit. Chat. Baker, tt the drank, wis always on the lob. Hit work wst of toe hit order, and bis YodUng number waa a big feature. Helen Jessie Moore looked charming, has a sweet voice, and made herself a popular favorite. Francis T. Reynold worked a little slow In toe straight character, but got over 0. K. Margorlte Ferguson, in the soubtette role, was not quite up to tbe mark, and beg work lacked toe necessary dash. Stella Gllmorc always looks great, his too presence, and knows how to read lines. She ecoied. The Progressive Trio sang well In the olio BpeciaUy, and took cire of some role* la Al fashion. Monroe Lockwvod, Benny Manning and Henry Tyler made up toe trio.

Bbe works up several num- bers in ber debonair nunner.ir* Will Naxx, LtvExnrat's return to burlesqne was a big surprise, and ber debut with toe Stars of Burlesqno was a big success. Floral offerings marked the first performance* Bai, Lans, the producer, from Chicago, made a marked Impression wltb burlesque, managers this teuton. Hal's idea of putting on numbers is original and well worth while. June Mills, the cyclonic comedienne's tlnele offering In the olio with toe Columbia Burlesquers, Is one of toe.hlts wltb the show. June has an odd way of putting over her numbers on tbe nut order, and her fast work is always a riot. OnafiUa T.iylob's Tango Girls played to big business st tbe Trocadero, Phils., Pa., all last week. Tbe report Is that Charles has a great alow, and a Dig Progressive winner. FLoaaNCB Mills Joined the Trocaderos (Oolum- Ma) In the prima donna role. Aug. 30. Mabjosib Dihoikbt Is this season with 0. F. Cromwell's Dainty Girls, In the prima donna role.
