Next week the Minskys bring Into town 'Billy MlnsTty's Frolics of 1933', Which is understood to tjomprise the best of the lot of his various burley shows. Show comes in here for a regular jtwo-a-day ride at two bucks, stay- ing for eight days, and then riding back to Philadelphia for a week, alftet' which it heads .tor Chicago :where all that coin is supposed to be in prospect during the big fair. Comes in to the Audito rium here, sister house of Maryland, which the day after (17), starts -With Its week of opera under George DeFeo. Ad- vance on this one has been excep- tional and now the talk is for a second week. FAMED STKIPPERS FIRST B'WAY APPEARANCE First Broadway date for either of iburlesqiue's two. principal strippers, ^Hinda Wassau and Ann Corlo, oc- curs the week of April 14 when the former plays the Central. Miss Wassau In the Raymond stock will get that rare thing for burlesque players nowadays—bill- ing. Sez BiDy Watson Editor, •Variety': Notice in your paper where the unions in west, certain cities are coming down a little, but at that price cannot live. For the skilled ones It would be ok, but the un- skilled ones, no. LInder had a lease on the Orpheum, Paterson, but when he heard of the terms he fell down, so I'll keep her closed until about Oct 1, when the warm weather is about through. Maybe the boys will have a more reason- able price. It's better to pay the taxes than pay the taxes and lose a lot with it. Billy Watson. la. Appropriations Drop Des Moines, la., April 10. When the Iowa legislature gets through trimming appropriations, state and county fairs will feel the axe so far as grants for the 1933 season are concerned. Appropriation for maintenance of the state fair was set at $50,000 and state aid for county fairs at $105,000 a year. Both sums are |63,000 be- low the present annual grants. FABE SET, THEN OFF New Castle, Pa., April 10. Cascade Park, drawing heavily from Youngstown and other eastern Ohio cities, will not be operated this summer, L. N. Round, manager of the Pennsylvania Power Com- pany, owners, announced. Ofncials had made plans for the opening next month. However, con- ditions are considered such that it would not be possible to successfully operate the resort. Placements Milt Schuster, Chicago, mnde the following burlesque placements laft week: Maxlne O'Donne'l, Sam Mitchell, Bryan Wolfe, Gem, Chi- cago; Charles Schultz, Star and fia^tor, Chicago; Violet Jord.in, (Jayety. Cleveland; Jackie James, Fred Binder, Jack 'Tramp' Mon- tagu", Wanda Brandon, Gayety. Milwaukee. The eastern circus season rang up at Madison Siiuare Garden Satur- day (8) afternoon and for the Hrst time John Rlngling was absent, be- ing seriously , ill In Sarasota. Sam- uel W. Gumpertz of Brighton Beach and Coney Island, was in charge as the new geneiial manager. The Gar- den date will jj^xtend 29 days, about one week lo]n.ser than last year, when business was close to the rec- ord, despite the bad going in other amusements, i Prices this year are revised downward, center boxes at night being $3, tax included, the arena seats being $2.30 flat. The show this season was an- nounced and is billed as the Golden Jubilee of the Rlngling, B&B outfit. That probably means the 50th year since the Ringling Brothers started in show business. The combining of the Kinglln!; Brothers Circus , and the Barnum and Bailey 'great- I est show on earth' dates back about a dozen years, although the Ring- lings controlled the latter outfit for some time previously. At present there is no big top opposition to the Rlngling interests, which operates the other important circuses also. Whether there were e.\tensive plans for the jubilee year has not been indicated. The skeleton and routine of the show is little changed from that of the past six years, in fact no radical changes were called for, because the Rlngling show is world's out-stander in its field. Some of the numbers or 'displays' have been strengthened and it is the best dressed show since the outfit moved out of the old Garden into the new. The costume outlay has been principally concentrated in thie new spectacle, called the Delhi Dur- bac, a parade based on the famous East Indian celebration; The spec is given top billing with the jubilee season. It consumes more than six minutes in circling the track. In the spec there are about 50 elephants, 110 horses and 300 people, with an eye-filling ef- fect. Clyde B^atty is again pres- ent for the Garden date anyway, and is getting second billing to the spec, although lithos play up all feature turns. Beatty is on early, which is nec- essary to prevent a wait^ what with the setting up and dismantling the arena den. His crack showmanship commands strict attention. It al- ways does. So does his class as a |)erformer, especially when working the tiger without the use of the chair which he uses usually to fend off paws. The spotting of the bur- lesque boxing bits very early, how- ever, may have been a slap at the Gardens pro boxing shows. Clowns this season by the way had little new. They seemed to have been hit by the depresh. The applause hit of the perform- ance again was scored by the Wall- enda Family—the kick on the high wire. Average onlooker always fig- ures the chance of falling and the concluding main feat never faild to promote shivers based on that im- pression. After being out of the show for a year, Con Cplleano, the master of the tight wire, went through his routine without a fault. Perhaps because of Colleano there Is a ma- rimba outfit with the band, it also playing here and there during the show. Winifred Colleano Is out this season, but may join up later. Another favorite turn is back after being out-for several seasons. It is the Rooneys, the best of the double trap teams. They are in the center in the display which has the fa- miliar Clarks, Smiths, Mlllette, De Mario and so forth. But hidden away is a single aerlallst billed as Vanderre, a girl who does giant swings without a net, a feat rarely tried up high except by male per- formers. Vanderre is one of the Lo- retta Twins, who were regarded as great some sea.sons ago. Profes- sionals at the initial night show quickly singled her out and rated her for the middle, a spot still held by Luclta Leers, but she Is how spotted with the perch acts. How Gumpertz has built up some displays is shown In the gynin.jstic number. There are 23 girl acrobats on in the variou.'- rings and stages. Nine are in .-in enlarged adagio turn billed as the Marcellus Troupe, There arc six In the Jap Yom Kam Troupe. There arc three each In the Hugony and Delano turn.s, and In the center again are the strong Itublo Sisters. The Wild West feature has been all dolled up, with 60 perple on for the oppnliig in.stead of 19. Riders four abreast represent the leading countries. The actual western rid- ers and roper.s, however, are the same, with Cy Compton hanjlin;; the main lariat. Yet another build-up came with the grounil acrobatic trr>upe topprd by the YaropLs, Danwill.s and the added L'yno Japs. In aiUlition are two Arab troupos ul ciilior en.l, not In the show for some time. IJon, or it may be George, Hamid Troupe was flanked by the Ilas.san Alls. Theol Nelson flipped along the track, only to be followed by any number of cart-wheeling, hand- springing Japs and Arabs—quite a flash. Just before the jumpers and Hugo Zacchihi ended the show, the flyers were in action with the same line- up as last season. The Codonas, as always, were center. The girls with the Harrolds and ConocUos dropped to the net, but there wasn't a miss by the Codonas, Alfi'edo doing the triple for the first lime in O.arden openinp show in seveial seasons— surprising because the a :t was back from Europe but two days. The equestrian acts looked up this season, although the lineup wns un- changed—Orrln Davenports, Rief- fenachs (center) and the Walters. Clary Bruce, with the Rleffenach turn, was rated the best bareback performer still doing comedy. But Toddy Ei-!iosto with the Walters turn, showed something with a side bareback somersault. In the earlier riding display the charm.ing Ella Bradna and her girls and colored pigeons and many dogs drew ap- plause—yes, her Freddie Is the equestrian director, as usual, and not squawking about his dogs. Funny, but is is Pat Valdo, in charge of personnel, who Is bark- ing about his tootsies now. Dorothy Herbert is the peppiest of the menage riders and among the Jumpers. The liberty h oi ti es ar c np- to form—in fact, the display haa been extended somewhat. Many real performers, such as Maximo and Don Francisco, who will come along, both on the end wires, help make the big show what it is. With such class artists as Beatty, Colleano, Wallendos, the Codonas, Rooneys, Rieffenachs, Bradnas and the Yacopls, no show could miss And then there are Tiebor's sea Hons—nobody around the outfit hi^B found the gimmick on the playing of those tunes—it must be the secret of Tonawanda, ' JJee. Tenn. State Fair Off? Nashville, Tenn., April 10. There is a likelihood that Nash- ville will have no Tennessee State Fair this year. The hope that lay In the city hav- ing a fair this year lay in the pros- pect of the Legislature naklijig 'an appropriation of $30,000. This amount was requested by members of the Association of Tennessee Fairs who met here recently. ATLANTIC CITT PIER SET Atlantic City, April 10.
