Merry Burslesquers
“The Rollikers”
The Mad Stampede
The stage shows a Western fort, with the chorus girls spread about the stage picturesquely attired in tights to represent cowboy costume.
The Toreadors
The costuming is neat but very inexpensive and could not be considered a dis- play at any time. Miss Orloff almost commits an offense in the first act by not changing her dress.
Yankee Doodle Girls
In an Irish number sung by Lily Sidonia, with the chorus in green knickerbockers and top hats, the liveliest youngster in the crowd allows her long braid of hair to fall down her back, while another has a pretty curl hanging over the shoulder, spoiling the good-looking “boys” they were intended for.
Parisian Belles
Kitty O’Brien led a pretty number in which the fourteen girls were becomingly costumed in colleen dresses. The numbers are neatly dressed and skillfully put on throught.
Miss New York, Jr.
(May Ynir) She dresses neatly although not lavishly, with one exception. This is in her olio specialty with Eleanor Revere. Here both girls wore gowns of flaming share.
Miss Revere, the primma donna, has a soprano voice of value and makes a pretty and graceful stage picture, particularly in the burlesque, where she wore a gold bespangled gown and tights in the finale.
Broadway Gaiety Girls
The lights in this, shading upon yellow, bring the chorus into disrepute through exposing their rouged faces, and throwing into relief all their facial imperfections.
“Honey in the Springtime,” sung by Beatrice Haines, although Dan Evans was programmed for it, is a pretty number, with the girls costumed in trousers and shirt waists, a new, odd and pleasing combination. Miss Haines also led a “pajama” dressed selection, in which seem to be missing in the white tights of the Misses Bigger and Raymond at the finale, a sort of Amazon march.
High School Girls
(Red Raven Cadets:) Their dressing is pretty, but the wordrobe is not quite as lavish as that displayed by the other Dinkins companies.
Gun shots, red fire, confusio and the American flag work up a good climax to the act.
