20 THE M JUNE, 1926 This quintet has long dominated the Metro- politan Opera with William Neujahr's re- vival of Wagnerian Opera. Alberta Shelby and Theodore Schmidt next appear in a skit called 'AThirty Years Ago, in which they do Alma DietZ's spe- cialty, the Bowery dance. After an interval which the chorus fills pleasantly, this time led by Florence John- son, Kenneth Guthunz appears and recites the Yarn of the Nancy Bell with great pathos or bathos. William Beisang and Marion Posel next beat and strangle each other quite lovingly in an Apache dance, and it is with a feel- ing of true regret that we watch the chorus close the first act of this inimitable review. During the intermission while Verna Brocker sings for us, we glance around the audience. We see Stanley Marsh, who has just swum the English Channel, Eleanor Roach, the greatest woman broker since Het- tie Green: and in a box we see the entire Cohler-Nemer dental clinic, consisting of Arthur Cohler, Sam Nemer, and his staff of nurses, who are Mary Blesener, Eva Wal- dren, Alice Trautman, Edith Zacho, and Pearl Bloom. I Marjorie Keaveny, Dorothy Kingsbury, and Charles Kocian, the trio which runs the chain of K. K. K. ten cent stores, are in the fourth row. Lillian Koch, star of the Vienese musical comedy, is also present and Elsa Obst, the new Secretary of War, with her assistants, Anna Pehrson, Edna Schwartz, and Clarence Nordrun. Albert Barke, master of properties, is cau- tiously giving the audience the once-over through the peep-hole made for the benefit of the electricians, Eugene Duncan, and Erank Hausmann. Prom the pleased way in which he is talking to the stage carpenters, Alan Salmon, Joe Paymor, and Edward Schoen, we judge that he is well pleased. While we look over our programs to guess at the rest of the show, we notice that Louis Brotsky is the editor of the delightful, little booklet. In looking over the ads we dis- cover that Leona Taylor is conducting a beauty shop, and Eunice Patterson and Eeronia Sweet are operating a candy shop called The Sweet Shoppe, Harriet Van Bergen, an interior decorating firm: and Magdalene Lasar, a dancing academy. The orchestra plays, the lights go out, and the chorus begins the second act. A short playlet in which figure Jim Stepka, Shirley Smith, Patricia Scanlan, and Emma McDuff, was written by Angeline Vorn- brock. Here Genevieve Haugen, and Harold Reid come on the stage, and with the help of Ragnhild Reque, Rose Johnson, and Ruth Rosenthal successfully transport the audience back ten years by singing A'Thanks for the Buggy Ride, a revival from 1926. Karl Heins, the press representative, looks anxiously up 'and down the aisles. He is doing a little ticket speculating on the side and wants to clean up big. He murmurs something about Bernice Resnikoff and fake publicity, and hurries away. Following this, Betty Schneider and Victor QVicj Len- nard dance while Gertrude Waldo sings. After a monologue by Dot Nelson and a dance by Genevieve Bayles, Mysterioso, the man who sees all, and knows all, dominates the stage with his two pretty assistants, Ger- trude Retka and Marion Kern. Dorothea Simon, Lenore O'Shaugnessy, and Stella Snyder, makers of S. O. S. CSave Our Skinsj soap, display a great deal of interest about l926 graduates of M. A. H. S. Mysterioso discloses his own identity as Erwin Jung, and from him we learn the following facts: Beatrice Priebe is running a ranch in Mon- tana. Laurence Berman is a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth. Amerigo Brioschi Cnow Count Brioschij, is the Premier of Italy. After he overthrew Mussolini, he im- ported Sabin Swenson and Harry Peterson to make skiis. ln this way he will make sure that Rome will have fresh milk from the mountains all winter. Bernard Grodin is mayor of Red Wing, Mae Waldron is a fashionable modiste: David Haynes has be- come sport editor of the New York World, and Evelyn Wick is running the women's page in the Los Angeles Morning Milk. Mae Zehnder is a lion tamer in Jacob Mar- goles' circus. Also affiliated with this are William Boehm and Alice Boehm as trapeze performers, Eva Yugend, Bernadine White, and Irene Wright as tight rope walkers, and Norma Seegmuler, an aviatrix, also travels with them. Mary Braverman operates a cabaret featur- ing Mary's delicious cakes, irst made famous at the Mechanic Arts football banquet ten
