Junior League Frolic Revives Spirit of Nineties; Audience Heckles, Hisses and Applauds;

Dance Parties Formed.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON At not a few Thanksgiving dinner tables today, the conversation’s harking back to that galloping hurly burly staged by the Junior League last night at the Naval Reserve Armory. Retrieving the essence of the gay and gaudy Nineties, the goofy “Gaieties” catapulted through half a dozen chorus and dancing numbers to a smashing

‘melodramatic finish.

Bobbing up incessantly were sundry scenes from the “heartwrenching” drama, “Every Inch a Sailor” or “Adrift on the Ocean of Life.” The more dulcet numbers and by all odds the best things ‘ocularly about the show were managed capably by 50 glamourous steppers from the Junior League's own ranks. : The audience heckled, screamed, howled, stamped, hissed and applauded Mrs. John K. Ruckelshaus, the fluttering farmer’s daughter; Miss Josephine Madden, the wandering Santa Domingan maid;

Richard McCreary, Patrick Ready,

Edward J. Bennett and Paul

Starrett, the snarling villains; John Grylls, the drunken father, and

Dr. Wayne Ritter and Vernon Roth, heroes tried and true.

The

cash customers “gave” right along. with the actors on “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie,” “Daisy, Daisy,” “Take Me Out to the Ball

Game” and a score of other favorites plentifully sprinkled through-

out the show.

This “critic’s” cabbages go to Mrs. Blaine Miller Jr. and Johnny Wildhack, whose lissome specialty dance preceding the cake walk number was admirably executed and beautifully costumed; to Mrs.

‘Albert J. Beveridge Jr. and Miss

Helen Shepard, who together

composed “that superadded attraction,” the Prima Donna Extraordinaire and her bustle, and Mrs. Frank J. Hoke, Junior League president, for her good-natured “razzing” of a Junior League finan-

cial report.

The Gashouse Boys (Messrs. Starrett, Ready, George Fotheringham, Robert D. Eaglesfield Jr. and Charles R. Weiss) popped in and out of the show in their Kelly Green coats and gray derbies and gdmpensated in volume for any minor deficiencies in harmony. William F. Fox Jr. master of ceremonies, whose assortment of headgear would have shamed Beau Brummel, kept the action moving on

all eight cylinders.

‘Amazons and Gibson Girls, Too

The Amazons in their “shocking” pink bodices, tights, ‘and silver hats embellished with towering forests of ostrich plumes tapped out their “Amazing Advance” with long red and white

spears distressingly reminiscent of barber poles.
