Burlesque, a form of entertainment that has all but vanished from the stage, has had its past glories resurrected from the limbo of the forgotten and immortalized between the covers of a ponderous tome, the author of which is nothing less than a learned university professor.

Sobel has compiled a history of burlesque that would surely bring the sparkle back to grandpa's eye as he again envisioned the buxom beauties of his time, chief among whom were the English importations, Rose Sydeil, star of London Belles, and the famed Lydia Thompson, star of the Black Crook.

By ALICE ALDEN. I New York, Dec. 11. — Did real humor die, did the stage lose much of its simplicity, its good nature, its rustic vim and its naivete when burlesque disappeared from the laiards? This is a question that comes up for discussion whenever lovers of the theatre foregather. It has been the subject of debate and argument for years and it lias never been satisfactorily answered until just recently. The answer is such an involved one that it is in the form of a huge book, which means that l burlesque has gone literary, espec-I ially since its history has been compiled by a learned university professor. True the author is no ordinary! professor. He is one of the country's most famous publicity men.: He writes for low-brows and high brows to acquaint them with the charms of the Ziegfeld shows and the glorious Ziegfeld girls. He is known to society and the theatre, as “Bernie,” and as “Bernie" has figured in novels and stories as \ THE publicity man. of the Ameri can theatre. He is Bernard Sobel, erstwhile professor of philosophy, literature, English and French at Purdue University, Indiana, who knows his Broadway as well as his books, his chorines as well as his classics. So used is Bernard Sobel to giv-j ing out publicity about others that he finds it almost impossible to give out his own vital statistics. And so it is from such friends as O. O. Mclntyre, and from Florenz Ziegfeld himself Jhat one learns something of Sobel's background. But he will tell you that he saw his first burlesque show when he was about ten years old ami that by the fime> ho was eleven he had become j critical student of the drama in the town of I.ifayette, Indiana ' where he lived. Three years of intensivel study at tho University of Chicago brought three 1 degrees, in* the l arts, sciences and in philos-. ophy. And then came teaching at Purdue and tho starting by Sobel of a college Little Theatre to broad ! en the artistic scope of that institution. Sobel wrote most of the plays performed there. And so it was natural that the professor should come Io Broadway to write 1 and to browse 1 in the i world of the theatre 1 . He got a job I with a magazine and fate pushed' him into his first publicity job, that of glorifying a popular burlesque' company. And so ho made bur-j lesque high-brow by writing about it and giving it a slant that ft Ind! never had before 1 . During Sobel's association with Ziegfeld he had been trying to find the time to write a history of burlesque. Thus it has been that long hours in libraries, finding and talking to old burlesque artists, interviews all over the country with old theatre managers have resulted in perhaps one of most brilliant, exciting and salty works on the theatre ever written, "Burleyctie. Old folk will read it with relish and longing, blase moderns will be fascinated and amazed that most of their favorite /omedians had their training in burlesque shows. \es,

| Eddie Cantor. Bert Lahr. Fannie Brice, W. C. Fields are all proud to call burlesque their dramatic!l alma mater. It was a hard school that com-1 jedians of burlesque went through. ! They had to contend with noise, with an audience out to see the' beauties, the lovely girlies' of the show. They were heckled, deri-! sively cheered, booed and hissed,! but they learned to make their au-| diences love them. The girlies! themselves were buxom, for have I we not said that burlesque was. naive, satisfied with large ladies in, i fleshings that reached to the ankles and the wrists. Many of the lead ing ladies were l English importa-| ’ tions Rose Sydell. star of “Lon Idon Belles,'' and the famed Lydia I Thompson, star of the “Black Crook.’’ names that bring a gle nc back to grandpa's eye. Burlesque as this country knew ! .it began in 1569 and continued to! I within a few years of the war.: lOldtimers will tell you that there 'is no use for it any more since girls [go in for clothing much more, ! scanty than ever a burlesque beau-1 ! ty wore. And the slang and lang ! uage of today as spoken by the average man or woman is often j more l racy than any line ever utter ccl by a burlesque artist. We have, simply outgrown the naivete and 1 (Simplicity that really characterized j burlesque, for all the sly winks and! naughtiness with which another, 'generation surrounded it. And now it is alive again within the coniines of Sobel's grand "Burleyc ue." as vigorous and .vital as it ever was. REPAIRS HALT SHRINE TREK e_ | Mexico City.

The legend of th Virgin, and the miraculous roses which she caused to grow on the rocky summit of tin 1 hill, and the building of the church in her honor, also are depicted. The arches of the church and the magnificent Venetian mosaic work in the c upolas, which cost more tlian 500.000 pesos, are considered equal in beauty, though on a smallei scale, to those o: St. Peter' in Rome.
