Garden Presented at Court Square The ater The wearied individual who wins a livelihood from commercial pursuits draped himself in large numbers on the Court Square theater seats last evening to see what brisk refreshing breezes might be set in motion by in a Shubert Winter Garden production here for a one night stand Considerable wafting en sued Indeed for a revue boasting neither celebrated names in its cast nor distinguished original music the results attained were entirely com mendable in by no means a new attraction presents a far better front than did the Winter "Dancing which managed to drag itself to this city during the early winter recognizable but badly affected by hardship and exposure The large chorus after a perfunctory start warmed to its work with a will and a richly comical lead ing woman lorence Moore was sub stantially though by no means bril liantly supported by a group of prin cipals including Dliss Minerva Cover dale Dliss Bly Brown Miss Louise Diink Swot and Mack blackface com edians NVill Stanton (a second edition of Leon Errol) and others Glorified burlesque is not a new phrase for describing this type of en tertainment but it is the perfectly expressive one The negligible plot the gaps amusingly filled by numbers bearing the stamp of pure vaudeville the enthusiastic exploitation of the fe male form and all the froth and flut ter costume dance quip song and prank is there A little censoring the a trifle higher the actors and actresses lines and business somewhat more refined and the scenic and en semble effects more elaborate these are the traits that distinguish the revue from the burlesque The former is a Bermuda onion the latter garlic mental reservation being maie that laughter not tears is in all cases the great desideratum When one declares that there are 11 distinct numbers besides divertis sem*nts in the first half of DIaid in and nine numbers in the last half it will be understood the detailed description of the piece cannot be giv en in brief space The hit of the evening was the song Looking for generous search being made by Dliss DIoore Dliss Diink and the chorus Use of the typical Winter Garden runway was most lib frai in this number and repeated en cores were the harvest Dliss DIoore proved her willingness to please by reaching down and patting several shiny bald heads On others she placed her flappy lavender hat for a moment or two and everyone who saw what was happening chuckled and was well content The remarkably agile and I double jointed dancing of rank Mar 1 tin offered near the close of the pro gram was another good number So were several of those in which Dliss Coverdale was principal Get Away from as shout i ed by DHss DIoore who made no pre tense about her voice also went over in fine style Miss success In this number was all her own her ma terial both the song and the jokes painfuly extracted from a huge map of Europe being mediocre even sad I The two elaborate ensemble scenes of the play were a burlesque on "Caesar and and a pretentious Russian ballet scene The former was racily done without the least suggestion of finesse or ex ample Caesar's throne was a beer bottle case and his protest that it was empty But of such seeds is born abundant laughter like it or not as you please The dancing of the ballet number amounted to little The back drop on the other hand with its great splotch of variegated color caught and held the eye which is about as much as can be said for most of the ultra modern Bakstian stage painting and coloring unless it is put to in tensely interpretative use Dlaybe the in curtain was an other burlesque At the Oaks this summer group under thelr aunt Mrs Hugh Deane of led by Mrs A Tur Colombia The path of total eclipse then passed over
