Great areas of Chicago can only reach the Loop by slow, patience- trying trolley rides. Classic boner oh the transportation end was, of course, the Civic opera house, now a 910,000,000 white elephant. Samuel Insull Insisted on building this edifice in the warehouse district west of the loop so that taxlcabs were a necessity. And taxi meters are ruthless in this burg, another contributor to the prohibitive costs of going out for an evening. What has happened to the old-- time Chicago is, of course, a transi- tion from a restless, half-wild me- tropolis feeding and fed by the ex- panding west into a conservative family town. Tight money, hard times and hoarding simply make the change more conspicuous. The so-called: 'carriage trade' Is unimportant here. Sophisticated entertainment cannot survive over two weeks in a legit theatre. Chl- cagoans who self-consciously rate themselves as bon vivants and men about town are simply wealthy provincials. Palace, Baltimore Carmody Out Chicago, Sept. 19. Tom Carmody is reported out as local booker for the Western Vaude- ville Managers' Association. Carmody has been in this post for 25 years. SKOITEAS' SYEACUSE V0DE Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 19. With both Loow'3 and RKO cool to vaudeville, the Skouras-contrblled Central New York Theatres Corp. is reported set to install vaudeville in the Empire whon the refitted house, formerly the Dewitt, reopens in October. Comei ford, npreney will p'upply the .«tage bills. (Continued from page 33) ago was-the haven of the old Co* lumbia wheel. The reason is that much has happened to burlesque since the old Columbia circuit flourished. This house used to play to a good sprinkling of women, and Herk Is admittedly trying to recapture them. Ifs going to be a slow process. Burley has gone too flatly honky- tonk to get many femme patrons In a town as gossipy as this one. But Herk has toned down on the' stripping. The chorus has 16 girls and a more shapeless lot of girls would be hard to find. They can't dance, but they're out on the ros- trum every few minutes for fake stepping. They can't sing, and yet they Insist on exercising their tonsils. There's only one performer who rates attention, probably the only hew name developed in burlesque In a decade—Hlnda Wausau. The gal has been obviously influ- enced by the heavy exploitation she's been getting since she crashed Publix In Minneapolis and got a bid for legit production. Miss Wausau has gone more modern than ever. Anyhow, she stands out In burlesk as the one gal who can satisfy a mob without getting down to the last ribbon. More than ever, she's insisting on keeping her clothes on. She leaves the Empire circuit in two weeks to start rehearsals for the Rose show. There's no . need to discuss the rest of the show. It has been re- viewed and panned many times pre- viously, under various names and guises. While the stripping Is. down, the dialog has ho qualms and stalks right into the outhouse for its humor. In the cast of this 'Follies of Pleasure Company,' as staged by Billy Fields, are Fields as chief clown; Chuck Callahan, Sam Kline, Berg Grant and Bobby Leonard. Doing the tame strip was Jeanette Alabassl; also there was Dorothy Ahearn, while Florence and Marion Bowers were principally notewor- thy for being the first sister team seen in burley in many a day. Like the Gayety, this house is running twice daily at 75c for top orchestra seats and running down to two-bits for the. benches under the ceiling. Of course, there's the .Saturday night gala at higher rates. Houses figure that they Can grab more returns at the 75c figure for two-a-day than at a less figure on a grind policy. Kor its special play for the femme trade, house is offering 'ladies' mat- inees' at a straight two-bit tap,
