His •xagger.ated direction seem to please the crowd here and the band surely did, with one soft and sweet and one hot and heavy.

"Will Rogers in 'Handy Andy' (Fox) was dragging 'em in opening day to such a healthy clip that iopes were up for the final show. The management didn't bother much with the stage 4how. At that It's not too ba^ a gotilash, as those things go at the Roxy. It's trimmed down to 60 minutes, which is mighty short In this here the- atre.

A curtain is let down In front of the set for the purpose and the stage dimmed, which does away with the need for another set or drop. Gae Fester girls, of course, are the mer- maids. They writhe around a bit, then prance around In an old fash- ioned but sulflciently colorful man- ner. From offstage the line of boys, eight, sing the melody and not too badly. It's a natural froin there for Wesley Eddy to go into Handalay^' which he does, the male chorus coming on stage to join him for the chorus and tO continue for one number on tkeir own. .A) Vordit who used to be part of <}oiNiia Md Vordi. to next.

QIRIENTAL, CHI Chicago, Aug, S. Balaban and Ka^ tos apparently decided that a theatre as big as the Oriental might luaye a totter chance for a atettlifiKr show by eliminating many of the talking acts and relying more on straight isigiii Ontei^talhinont. Less use of the microphone seems to reduce the feeling of vastness one gets, no matter wkerf to Mts la tlio theatre. There wasn't a ainile aot .that only talked at the audleiiee. All danced, sang or did some panto- mime clowning, getting laughs with direct business. King's Jesters did it with their comedy warbling. Hap Hazard did it in his naturally funny way of keeping up a flow of chat- ter while performing. Then there was the top clowning of Lorraine and Digsby wabbly dancing, get- ting laughs and applause that gags haven't been mOH to; dt^iNr tore in some time. Marcolle Williams and Coinp«,ny opened with five minutes of body tossing, which looked good. It was straight sight, so that i^vch those back in the tolcony couldn't hiisa any of the turns. Kiriig's Jesters followed with ttoir humorous cro<^ihg, drawing some oxtra ap- proval foiP their 151d Toil Ever' Se« a Dream Walkiiiir?' Hap Tfa7.ird did his regular mix- ture of tiprht rope stimts and gags. Rut the Iloosler lad didn't have to be heard to be laughed at because he and hi?? femmjO partner go over well witlumt that.
