Maryon Vadie and Ota Gygl follow the irresponsible Lillian Fitzgerald and present a striking contrast to Miss Fitzgerald In their respect for the conventionalities. Miss Vadie is a danseuse of merit To the tiniest mannerism, and to the
most unctions detail of the hoofer classique, she lives up to the code, even to the classic smile, which is as fixed as the stars In their heavenly course. Mr. Qygl, in his fine violin work, uses Just the proper amount of bored deprecation following rendition of each number; acknowledges applause his artistic playing merits with pluerfect modesty ; refuses to
soil the exquisitry of the classics with even a chemical trace of ragtime. In all. the act is very beautiful and very cold. For those who
believe that art to be art must be refrigerative, Miss Vadie and Mr. Gygl are ideal.
