GAYETY’.S JUBILEE WEEK Much Jollification in .Store for Colum , bit Burlesk Lovers. The coming week will be Jubilee week at the popular Gayety, the good and sufficient reason being the tri umphal return of clever Aber Rey onlds to Columbia burlesk—an event well worth celebrating. There is wide scope for scenic and costume elaboration in the range of opportunity said to be afforded in “Bubble Bubble” next week’s attrac tion. The producer of this offering is said to have availed himself in a most satisfactory manner of this op portunity. “Bubble Bubble” offers sixteen changes of magnificent scenery, all unfolding special features of great beauty and novelty, while a bewilder ing array of costumes enhance the beauty of these sets. There are four teen musical numbers sung and danced during the action of the piece, with tunefulness and grace, by the talented company of principals and choristers, j Heading an unusually pretentious array of comedians, singers and danc ers is Abe Reynolds, well and favor ably known to the followers of bur lesque as a delineator of comedy Hebrew’ roles. A close second in pop ularity to Mr. Reynolds is William Browning, who has been called “Amer ica’s Foremost Character Artist”. Ann Clifton, the prima donna of the company, won her laurels in mu sical company before entering bur lesque, she having played many of Fritzi Scheff’s roles in her biggest successes. Helen Du Ross, the sou brette of the company, is another pop ular favorite, while others in the cast worthy of mention are Violet Buckley, Ruth Rosemond, Jack Faquay, Jim Holly and others. William K. Wells, who produced the piece, is also lesponsible for its authorship and staging. Dan Dody, noted for his clever work in the past, | put on the musical numbers, while Melville Morris, the well-known com poser, wrote the music. More than burlesque, “Bubble Bub ble” combines extravaganza, musical comedy, stage illusion and vaudeville in a melange of novelty that has gain ed it an enviable reputation wherever if has played. The chorus sings well, looks very attractive and dances skill fully and with enthusiasm, and its shapely members know how to dis play most fetchingiy the many cos tume creations with which they have been provided. Matinee at 2:15 daily. The Sunday matinee starts at 3:00. SOCIETY ATTENDS WEDDING OF MADAM WALKER’S HEIRESS (Continued from Page One) a heart shaped pillow of Venetian satin and silver lace. Madam A’Lelia Walker, mother of the bride, becomingly wore an elegant straight line gown of gold metallic cloth designed and imported for the occasion from Paris, France. Great significance is attached to the wedding uniting as it does two of the race’s leading families and it proved itself a gala society event, eclipsing even the most vague anti cipation in beauty and gorgeousness. The mother’s gift to the couple was an heirloom of especially made solid mahogany case containing 126 pieces hand turned sterling silver from Tif fany & Co.; the groom gave the bride an expensive diamond brooch; the bride gave to the matron of honor a braided green gold bracelet fastened with a lock containing two diamonds and a blue sapphire; the groom gave to the best man and ushers walking canes and cigarette cases; the bride gave to the brid’s maids Gold Cost ivory bound Episcopal prayer books. Valuations are odious to place upon the many handsome and costly gifts to the couple. Friends from through out the land generously remembered them with jewels, silver ware, cut glass, fine linens, household goods, apparel and personal congratulations. Nine thousand invitations were is sued to the wedding, 1,000 of which covered the personal mailing list of Madam A’Lelia Walker, including friends and acquaintances in every j state in the Union, British Guiana, the West Indies, Canada, England, France, Haiti, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama and i ' the Phillipine Islands. 8,000 invita tions were issued to supply stations I to reach 40,000 agents of the Mine.
