GAYETY'S "STEP
LIVELY, 'GILRS,"
FULL OF GINGER
The closing bill at the Gayety thea

climax to the season's entertainment
at this show house. A show without a
plot, but a riot of pretty girls, beauti
ful stage settings, late tongs and
hearty laughs.' '
Raymond Paine heads a quartet of
comedians that keep up a rapid
fire of amusing dialogue. Harry T.
Shannon, six feet and a half of non
sense, hard boiled and well done, is
paired with Rich "Shorty" McAllister,
General Fun's sharpshooter. Dotson,
as Midnight, the Dark Stepper, in
syncopated steps, is one of the clever
ist dancers seen on the Gayety stage
this year. '
Dainty, 'delightful and dangerous
Rhea Hess, beautiful, vivacious and
darling Nettie Hyde and Tina Hen
ley, the "Step Lively Girl," put! "pep"
in the show seldom seen in a bur
lesque production. The costuming of
the large chorus adds to the beauty of
the show. I
Manager Johnson assisted Raymond
