Evanson is less offensive, but never gets a chance to be funny, either. Chick Hunter makes a personable straight, romping from one scene to the other with the comics. And that is some romping! Billie Shaw is okay in the spub assignment, work- ing in the skits and planting a couple pf sock specialties, especially the drunk dance. Miller Sisters are a fetching pair who also get over ndatly with songs and dances. Johnson Trio have blended their former vaude act into the show, giving it in three sec- tions and registering, as usual, on hoofing. Comedy bits have nearly every- thing they'd bfeen doing for years in burlesque save 'Ghost in the Pawn Shop' and 'Irish Justice,* which just couldn't be crowded in. And maybe they'll be in next week. McAllister and Fields are rowdy throughout, especially in the 'Crystal Gazer' and 'Tailor Shop' bits, Evanson and Hunter struggle valiantly with 'Life Saver' and 'Telegraph Office,' both venerable and refusing to be resusci- tated. Jal-Leta contribs a couple of dis- guised kootchers, held in, but giving a satisfactory amount of torso grind- ing. Ditto for Ruleana. These, in addition to the above-waist strip tableaus, are all there is of the girly angle reminiscent of former bur- lesque, but the unsapolioed skits probably are sufficient to satiiate ap- PHILAOELPHIA Ancliorage James Craig Manno ft .Strafford Ed Sllverglade Sally La Slsrr Johnny Graff Oro Izzy Bellls Mildred Tolls ArcMdlR Int'l Milton Kellem Oro Don Rcnnldo Oro Mayfalr Girls (8) Ed Sllverglade Izzy Bcllls Collette &.

Sapoliing i$eems to have gone di.s- tinctly awry here. Somebody must have copped it, and they haven't missed it. APOLLO, N. Y. (42ND STREET, N. Y.) This former burley stand is in its third week after the sapolio process and is figured to stick, despite nut being around $6,000 weekly and con- siderably above that of the Eltinge, across the street and its only op- posish. This one took it on the chin with others on opening week, with considerable biz improvement last week and gradually mounting this week. Ann Corio, ace stripteaser before the censorial era, holds over a third week. So do most of the others, with exception of Bobby Barry, who replaced gap of Joe Morris. Miss Corio has done plenty, as she usually does, to hypo the box office and may stick indefinitely if other bookings do not-interfere. Current week's show, still cap- tioned 'Follies,' is a lavish produc- tion, colorfully costumed but not too cover-uppy on chorines and femme dancers. In motif, it looks like a gradual slide back to burlesque, not of the dirt show and peeling calibre, but more like the refined cantantas of the erstwhile Columbia wheel. The idea seems an all-arbund clicker for house and audience response. There's plenty ot past era bur- lesque formula in the blackout stanzas, sans former dirt and more effective. Ditto for the stripping, and there's plenty of it, but handled in an artistic manner that is neither offensive nor liable to bring down censorial wrath. Thanks to the showmanship of Emmett Callahan, managing director, and Allen Gil- bert, producer of the shows, who is gradually s)\bwing spark of another John Murray Anderson in the making.. Reversing the nondescript thrown together numbers, which • with addi- tional evils put burlesque on the toboggan, Gilbert in this one goes more for warm weather routines of stage pictures and ^drades, although there are a sufficient number of peppy dance routines hy the ponies to make admirable contrast. Comedy is soniewhat weak, some b^ts effec- ^e.and- othets not, but the artlBtic handling of femme unadornmeht is done with class and everything knits for good efitertainment. Spacing the glrly numbers, Mor- ton and Arthur Havel spot some food clowning on their own. Ditto lobby Barry, who hasn't cracked burlesque since Columbia circuit days, when he was teamed with Al K. Hall in Sam Scribner's 'Maids of America." Barry is . a'pint-sized ec- centric comic who fits in neatly with Bert Grant, Havels, Joey Pay, Thelma Temple and Dorotjiy. Ryan in the comedy blackouts. Barry also spot? some foolery topped with a Harry Lauder Impresh that's okay. Standout in comedy is the 'The Transformer,' with Grant as a nutty inventor, and Joey Eay as. stooge, which worked up for plenty of laughs. 'Cut Up and Bleeding,' con- scripting Pay, Havels, Grant and Misses Temple and Ryan, wherein Havels have to wrestle the nitery waiter for the check, also registers. So does 'Skin Game' and 'Song Plugger.' Ann Corio holds up neatly in three spottlngs. First in a phony inter- view bit with Havels, where she strips down to panties and brassiere, then an audience number; 'Give Me a Little Kiss,' but provides raal socko strip in 'Girl at the Brook' allegory. As the timid maiden at- tempting to cool off in a wooded brook stream, she reveals everything, lust as neatly, if not more so, than before ban of striptease. Mile. Deleys, attractive aero dancer and cortortionist, also incorporates a neat strip in her number. Jimitiy Lewis and Dorothy Ryan alternate on the warbling. Show runs practically two hours, with film shorts and candy butcher spiel spacing. Lightine, costuming and effects are distinctly Broadway- ish, especially the spectacular rhinestoned staircaise utilized in sev- eral of the numbers wherein the chorines give them plenty of abovc- the-waist eyefuls. Hardeen Into Apollo, Burly Hardeen, illusionist, will be spotted at the downtown Apollo, N. Y., week of Aug. 16 as an added attraction to the house's burley show. Deal was set by William Schilling. Hardeen is , a brother of the late Harry Houdini. Jamtt Stays in Dallas Art Jarrett is being held for an additional 10 weoks at the Inter- national Casino, Dallas.
