Acts , of thlsf body tossing category have practically all turned to burlesquing the routine. Some make the fun-poWng sex:ondary to an expertly plied outlay of the ada- gio art, while others make obvious their limited talerita in this fijsld by going strictly rough iand tumble.. DesMay, Moore Ahd Martin come under the latter classification. Tussling and pushing around the three give one another extend through both a waltz routine and an Apache conception. Tl^e ■ rough- housing in the former bit Is divert- ing with the first two or three falls; 1 thereafter it palls. Even with the Bronx cheer at the finale the Apache thing rates as a flat at- tempt at clowning; Between the waltz and Apache series of body slams the girl at the piano (Kay, Noice) .does warbling duty. She elects the torch genre of Bohg. Hers 1 is a yoIda that's hard on the esir- drums. Qdec. [ ADAlR and RlCHARDS (4) Adagio, Songs . 12 Mins.; Three and Full (Special) State, N. Y. j An adagio duo performing within a n atmos pheric background plus yO' realizing suppWtT'~Cfatty"pradTrctidn- throughout. The turn is in three sections, playing eiach time In 'three* I or 'full.' . . ■■ \ Here as finale on a five-act layout, the turn didn't seem to fit, but standing alone it should be a nifty I act of its kind. Both the first and last drops have [explanatory tips imprinted : on scrims, first on an Indian scene and I lastly on an Arab scene. In each an [adagio duo performs, likely Adair and Richards. Middle number is a cleverly de- signed opera burlesque showing cats yodeling operatically. .Effect is through a gable painted drop with vocalizers in cat outfis fihown through cutouts in the drop.

Husfries' Protest Against Hamjd Goes Before Labor DepL The Hustries, aerial, act, has complained. to the state Department of Labor over ..aTleged breach of contract by George Hamld tor whom they played in the Christmas Week circus show at the Hippo- drome, New York. Act claims it was contracted for 16 daySj played 12 and was paid for seven. Hustries was one of twp acts that refused to sign the release alleg- edly-requested by ITamid' from :the entire troupe,. Other was. the Schwartz animal turn whose Owner has made no complaint so far. August' Hustrie, manager of the aerial turn, in his. complaint, claims that Hamld deducted three days pro rata from the first Week's sal- ary oh the ground that the first thfee days were in the nature of 'rehearsals', although played, to a paid attendance. H.amid,- contends Hufitrie, later agreed to pay pfC in full for the week if the act signed a release from the balance of the contract, llustrle declares .he re- fused to sign.

Miss I>oher vocal- izes a rhythm Bohg, while Ricard and Cassell tap and then interchange steps while, clad in white, flannel tails and hats to match. .

Both simulate musi- cal virtouosis in a funny wa-y. Werner plies the piano until everything drops out of the melody box, and Gory busts up several fid- dles before he finally essays a seri*. ous piece nicely. ..
