‘Too-Much-of-a-Tank-of-a-Man’ Found by the Shriners on Annual Trip East

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Meet the new King Tut. His name is "Too-Much-of-a-Tank of-a-Man.” That I learned in the 1923 Minstrel Revue of the Shriners at the Murat last night. King Tut, according to the Shriners' idea, was the original tank. Being a tank, old King Tut was fond of travel. He was accompanied by a bunch of slaxes and dancing girls. The Shriners have done a little tomb exploring themselves, and have unearthed a very intresting tank. The new Shriners’ Revue, which was revealed at the Murat last night for the first of four performances, is the last word in Egyptian discovery. The story is the last minstrel idea. The Shriners start out on a trip in Egypt. They crave excitment and the only thing they want to see Is King Tut, The method used in obtaining King Tut furnishes the backbone of the story of the revue. The Shriners have worked out a splendid plan in presenting their talent. They know that it is no*, wise to keep an audience in the theater all night. Their curtain goes up about 8:20 and the final curtain goes down about 10 p. in. Then those attending are invited to a dance in the new ball room. The revue is in numerous scenes As the central idea is to tell the story of adventure in Egypt, the piethod used is to use numerous soloists who fit right into the story. Among the many fitting into the story were G. Carlton Guy in a splendid rube characterization; George Kadel in song and blackface; John \V. Applin, .Louis C. Heinrich, Otto Krause and many others. The dancing ‘•girls” include Clifton Ferguson. Karl Matthews. Charles K. Smith, Don A. Morrison, 1,. A. Straw myer, E. E. Stout. C. Merle Brockway and R. E. Siebert. George W. Lipps is the dancing girl of Luxor. This
