Ls-^-^^^ off, but the auditors remained dis- inclined. The girl.«j disclosed a pretty exterior of a AVashlngton Square apartment supplemented by an imposingly beautiful drop. This material end undoubtedly swaying tho bookers, they forgot to secure an act along with the drapes and scenery. Little Billy appearing fourth real- ly saved the show. His smart mat- ter delivered with suavity, polish and n sense of values awakened the crowd from its lethargy, the end finding ^im the outstanding hit of the performance. Gibson and Conelll clowned the Inept sketclt of Will Hough for the laughs that would have been glar- ingly remiss otherwiKC. At the finish when tho sketch was skid- ding fast Gibson threw on an emer- gency brake in tho way of a prohi- bition poem, furnishing justification for the exit bows. Chic Sale ran along in his accus- tomed way with liia familiar offer- ing but alightly changed. He did excellently with Al considering the longevity of bucolio diatribes that have served w^ll through tho years. Margaret Severn followed the other dancing acts too closely ta merit especial consideration, the arrangement, too, detracting ma- terially. The Canslnos were assist* Ing her and were treated negligibly also. Tho Severn interlude seems incomplete, larking elasticity. TrlephoTMi: BRYANT 1171 Cable Address: "SIMOMAN" W.
