TOO MANY COOKS DO NOT SPOIL A REVUE I Theatrical Chelfs Combine to Make ‘Gay Paree, ’ Starting Monday’ Night at English’s for the Week, an v Extravaganza of Speed. I BY VALTER D. rTCKMAN The production of such revues as “Gay i’arce,” Avhich will he visible at English's for one week, starting Monday, Jan. 2, with matinees * Wednesday and Saturday, involves methods > peculiar to this style of entertainment. Extravaganzas are Ihc creations of many brains. Too many cooks don't spoiMhe broth. If it. were not for an ample supply of theatrical chefs there

would be no such exhibition as ,4 Oav Paree.” The finished output is the work of elimination. 'Alien “Gay Paree" was presented for the try-out in the pe -ennial “doc; town” of Atlantic City, it ran nearly six hours. To havf given the whole show at subset- lent performances would have in’ lived splitting the program in two ialves and offering them on consecutive nights as Is the Chinese custom. . This Is not the way that revues i ere fabricated. With no plot or: sequence to worry the producer simply selects those features that! go best with the audience, speeds; up the action and compresses the whole into a running time of three hours. Gorgeous scenery and opulent costumes go into the discard, to be used in some later opus. J. J. Shubert, under whose personal supervision al! of the Shubert trade-marked muscat shows are staged, is the general who directs Ihc activities, brigidiers of authors, composers, dance producers, stage directors, scenic artists, costume designers down t,o the corporals and privates of stage artisans and advance agents. Revues cost more to produce and operate than any other form of indoor amusement. The margin of profit is much less than is the case with short cast dramatic or operatic pieces. On the ether hard few revues fail.
