Dur- ! ing the action of the revue a number of : songs and dances are given by Mr. ' Weston.

Shepard and Dunn wilDpresent a laughRble skit called “Oh, What a Pal Was Mary.” which, however, has nothing to do with the popular ballad of that name, and Faye and Thomas, a youthful pair of terpsichorean artists, will introduce some new types under the title of “Dancing Honeymoon.” O'Loughlin and Williams, lightning gnn manipulators and bag punchers, will complete the acts. A Fox film farce, “The Slicker,” the Paramount weekly and the Pathe review will occupy the screen. VARIETY OF ACTS ANNOINfED AT BROADWAY. Next week's bill at the Broadway will

Now, of course, it is nothing to me, old dear. I am talking from a perfectly disinterested, outsider sort of view. But why under the sun didn't you mention some of the realty good things about that show. Why, man, it was GOOD! You praised Al Jolson to the sky and
his chorus did ealesthenies all over the place. (What (lid Al do for you that F-M didn’t? Joke!) And say. boy! That chornsi Did you notice any of them that couldn’t dance?
