Ezra Buzzingtbn. and his crew live {ust .about a day's journey frbrin the jyi;ic theatre by mule team, and an-^ ' nually they come to town to fill in the closing end of a straight vaude bill. This week the management der cided. to build a shbw arourtd thefn.. adding three acts arid.' labeling it: 'Shoot the Works.' However, the Idea doesn't jell, ^with the current 65. minutes running time filled with a hodge-podge of bits which have everything but entertainment merit. ;. The entire setting is western, with the houre supposed to, be a dude ranch fbr the tenants of \this week's bill, but the Buzzingtbri part of thie show.is as close to a dude ranch as an Indiana barnyard is to, a Texas . cattle range. The line of 12-giii'ls arid four boys appears in four spots. Their numbers are cowboy and In- dian stiiff except the closer, which changes lo.cile to a penthouse. A couple of the boys who hoof with the girls look as if they are playing hookey from grammar -school for the; enTagemerit. BuzzingtOn and his .fustic crew take over for 25 minutes in the mid- dle of the bill with a medley of rural trnes.. Featuried are Dude Kiihball, who plaivs pluriibing fixtures; Syl- vester Hawkins , and his diamond- ciuddcd clarinet who can hit a high note on .'Stardust,' and Zeb Perkins, erroneously labeled a comedian der spite, the yellow button shoes and b'-'^ked-oot teeth. Also associated with: the Buzzingibh outfit, is Ran- dolph Avery, m.c.,-. who. talks arid in"* every way'but into the micro-. p^T-re,. and .finally contributes an acrobntic dance fbr the final curtain. • Visitors on the- set, are the Monroe- B'.-o'";. still. among the funniest: traninoline acts in shbw business.
