That pat .pattern the Roxy follows in'- its stage shows ; is well, demon- Itated by a bill corisistirig of a inimic, a group of comedy acrobats, and an adagio threesbrhe.

SGALA, BERLIN Viri ^ , Berlin, April 5. When Scala engaged Jushny and his 'Blue Bird' it undoubtedly thought it a good idea as he has had a rep around here since the early postwar days. But the Russian's ma- terial has always fitted into iritimate revues or night clubs and despite Jushny-s claim that his. present show^ is a special vaude adaption, it just hasn:t the wherewithal to take up half .the bill; As Berlin is strange- ly lacking this month in beer feasts, exhibitions and. sundry what-nots with their accompanying rural rub- bernecksj theatres can only draw from the local gentry and the empty seats prove that the Scala menu is not relished. Niotna and partner, with their provincial hokijm of pumping milk through , the cow's tail, and lilce bromides, don't help, much in getting things going. Frederick Sylvester and his three, tumbling midgets nnally work into a good finish, when one of the latter standing on his head in the palm of Sylvester's hand does a drum solo...

STANLEY, PITT, Pittsburgh, April 18. That full bailcony and those first- 'flqbr standees: at. the Stanley for the first sho>w Friday afternoon (16) cer- tainly weren't' the result of 'Soldier and Lady' (RKO) on the screen. The magnet was Ted: Lewis, .with only a twb-reeler to support him.. The -'Is Everybody Happy?' fellow ;is .the most consistent " draw this burg , has ever encbUnteredi money in the bank frorh the moment he's flashed as a 'coniing attractibn.', . Eisewheje on the road it's pretty mubh the same. So. what? So while :Lew.is has permitted himself, to be- come a bit too fcurmal and stylized, the mob here, at any rate, doesn't seem to. mind the sameness and that's probably what's. persiiadihg Lewis to coast along bn what is by now: strictly pattern. In' last few years; his. act hasii't: been altered an- iota, even to the same gags, same - intrb- ductiorts, same key spots, and : the? same finale. His showmanship chiefly. :pffsets that.. However,: it's a pity .this is so . be- cause he's beeii: generally identified .as. one of the shrewdest showmen in the: business. Some.'of the: lobby coinments might have interested him. The act's growing old gracefully in his service, at., any rate, but things wouldn't be so noticeable if there were only a. few new bits. -Every-, thing he doe's is accomplished, with smart, showniahly precision; and It-s a Shame to see him being content with what he has already proven. Even a srrfattering of . new -tunes might provide some solace, although 'St.. Louis Blues,' 'Juist Around the Corner' and-, the -othei:.- old standby seemingly are^ just as effective today asofyoi'.e;; GbTiien. MICHIGAN, PET. Petroif, April 16.
