The act employs a big company, mostly girls. It was produced by Hazzard Short, producer of the New York success. "The Music Box Re vue.” The scenic effects are excep tionally elaborate, an entire baggage . car of scenery and properties being carried by the attraction. Jack Goldie, blackface comedian, is an added attraction, and his comedy chatter, singing and whistling finale make him one of the most popular entertainers of the day. Helen Ham ilton and Jack Barnes present a re freshing line of comedy chatter under the caption of "Just Fun." Walter Law and company offer a powerful playlet, with big dramatic moments relieved by comedy. Posing in bronze in addition to original ideas in gym nastics are presented by tbe Rinaido Brothers In their act called "Roman Art." Arthur Hays plays “Dreamy Melody" upon the great World or ifan. The picture feature ia a sparkling , screen comedy written and directed by Rupert Hughes under the title of "Gimme.” According to Hughes, the universe is suffering from an epidem ic of the "gimmes," and in this clever photoplay unusual opportunities are given to Helene Chadwick, Oaston Glass, Eleanor Boardman and others making up the big cast. Anniversary week, marking the first birthday of World entertainment i will be fittingly observed at the big playhouse next week. "Shuffle Along" comes to the Brandeis theater for three days, starting Thursday. April 12. This highly i acclaimed musical comedy, with its all color cast, is de scribed in one Of the opening num bers “Simply Full of ^aza,” for, while there is a p!<ft, it is riot of too much consequence to halt the syncopated action which comes in the fo^m of duets, trios, double and triple quartet rumbers, with a Jazz orchestra work ing overtime. John Vaughner is the tall, shuffling darkey who apparently wins the election, for he Is installed as “Mare" of Jimtown, while his "sawed-off" partner with the funny little voice, bobs up as chief of po lice. The "Mare" assumes all the dig nity his office calls for, and maintains a. staff of singing and dancing ste nographers who salaam gracefully on every occasion. The song numbers include: "Rove Will Find a Way," "Honey Suckle Time.” "Gypsy Blues," “Sing Me to Sleep. Mammy Dear." "Oriental Blues." "African Dip,” “Mary From Maryland" and many others.
