BILLY WATSON’S “BEEF • TRUST” COMING HERE Stage at Gayety Being Shored Up to Support Over Two Tons of Corn-fed Girla Columbia Burlesque is marking its twenty-first season with this year’s attractions at the popular Gayety theatre and one of the old reliablf offerings of the Circuit is Billy Wat son and his "Beef Trust Beauties.’ ‘‘Beef Trust” Watson has teen in bur lesque more years than twenty-on« but he retains his personal magnet ism and jolly stage presence while in sisting upon his associates being ex perts in merrymaking models, in pro priety as well as in form, and activi in entertainment. Years mean noth ing to Watson—he is leading the life of a showman, ripe in experience that is realized in an up-to-date manner of staging, producing and managing stage entertainments. So it comes that the “Beef Trust Beauties” will be new in all par ticulars except the comical associa tion of “Krousemeyer" and “Grogan” that has endured for years. New scenery will dress the stage pictures; new costumes will adorn the heavy weights of the ensemble while the girl prinicpals will represent a fash ion show. This is the managerial promise made on behalf of the "Beef Trust Beauties.” “Krousemeyer’s Alley” will be the locale of merry bouts and neighbor hood quarrels with Watson, as “Krousemeyer,” leading his hosts against Clarence Wilbur, imperson ator of Grogan, the “fighting Irish man” with Harry West as the trou ble-making Tommy Grogan. There will be a spectacular fire scene to wipe out the differences in “The Al ley” in which stafecraft will call realism into play with startling ef fect. ‘Old Guttenberg” will be pic tured in the race track scene; there will be a Palace Scene of great bril liancy and the “Bashful Venus.” in cident will bring into view a score of “Beef Trust” Beauties as models. Edgar Bixley, he of the “big voice” so well known to burlesque “fans”; Estaire Shaw, a handsome and sweet singing prima donna; Helen and Frances Russell, a pair of graceful dancers and harmonious singers, and Canzano, expert player of the piano accardian, will make individual con tributions of song, dance or vaude ville interlude in addition to leading musical numbers. “Beef Trust Beau ties” is a title that directly applies to the ensemble and for those who like to look upon abundance in pul chritude “Beef Trust” Watson prom ised a liberal “eye-full." Daily mat inee will, as usual, rule throughout the visit of this popular aggrega tion. Sunday’s matinee starts at 3:00 o’clock. All 200 pound (or over) ladies will be admitted free to any weekday matinee. Philadelphia, Jan. 10. — Negroes own 600,000 homes and 1,000,000 farms, declared Dr. Emmett J.

NORTH SIDE BRANCH 22nd and Grant Streets EDNA M. STRATTON, Executive Sec’y Happy New Year—Let’s Make It What can we hope for from 1924? If the hope for the North Side Branch of the Young Women’s Chris tian Association from 1924 is to be realized, if 1924 is to be a Happy New Year, then the women of this community, indeed the earnest wo men, must practice and interpret the purpose of the Y. W. C. A., which is self-evidence of an organization es pecially fitted for the cooperation of all earnest women; they must be will ing to assume responsibilities, and to take their share of duties.
