April 25. 1923 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER 25 OFFERS ENTERTAINED FOR NEXT SEASON Sid—Clipper—April 11, 1923: A high class act was presented by Cleora, a classical dancer. Miss Cleora appeared in a gorgeous gold cape, which was removed just before goinff into her act, showing a magnificent Egyptian costume. Cleora then danced, her offering being an artistic Egyptian dance, which is a classic. The mction of her hands and arms and the grace she displayed in alt her movements was wonderful.

Other tabloids will be organized shortly by Eddie Dale and Ray Read, as well as a number of other well-known stars. There are thirteen shows either playing or under way and each week finds new organizations signed. None of the star.' or shows have ever been in tabloid before and the new circuit is exacting a standard that is sur- prising for that form of amusement. Many new theatres were added to the circuit last week, giving the shows a substantial route for the Summer. Coutts will lAve New York next week to look over new houses and will lay his plans and ideas before house owners and managers of his new exchange.
