The fea- tured comedian is little Billy Foster, & funmaker well known to the regu- lars at burlesque shows. Babe Healy, the soubrette, is the live wire of the show and probably was in mind when the peppy title was given the produc- tion. She is brimful of liveliness in her song and dance numbers, and makes a capable leader of the spright- ly chorus that marches up and down the illuminated runway. The show itself does not measure up to standards previously set for this season, but it has its redeeming features that repay a visit this week. Foster needs very little of descrip- as he is well known for his ious efforts. He is the same inof- butt of the funmaker. A bright feature last night was a xylo- phone specialty by Mildred Holmes, who, in addition to being a capable performer on this tuneful instrument, has a charming personality. She did well, also, in a couple of song num- bers. Two of the niftiest dancers seen this season are Jack Spellman and Jimmy Hazzard. Their speclalty is soft shoe work. Others in the cast are Mabel Lord, John Grant, Edith Bates and Sam Micals. Mutual—"Steppin’ Out. The "\lrl’?lll show at the Mutual is not savory. * Its dull moments are many and its bright spots are re- stricted to the few times when the ' |comedians, three in number, appear in specialties. Frank Murphy is the featured com- edian (fittingly nicknamed ‘‘Rags") He gives an excellent performance in the role of tramp, and is assisted by Benny Platt, a Dutch comic, and Sam Gore in blackface. The best bit of entertainment is offered by Murphy and Platt in a problem involving the use of long division. The feminine group includes Thelma Sevelle, Laura Houston and Opal Tay- lor, all singers and dancers, none of unusual ability. A minimum of repul- sive ambiguity and the almost total absence of smut makes the show note- worthy in comparison.

Ufford of the Tubercu- losis Association pointed out today that the exhibit of the Tuberculosis Hospital is designed to show the pub- lic the real value of the occupational therapy department as an ‘integral part of the institution. Aside from the creditable work done by the pa- tients, he emphasized that: the handi- work has changed their whole mental atmosphere. “The work,” he sald, “necessitates the combined use of the mind and hands and tends to make the patient forget his condition.” The occupational therapy department, Mr. Ufford explained, has been sup- orted for the last three years by the ‘uberculosis Assoclation through the sale of Christmas seals.
