D. C. TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1932. Early in the Morning” The same may be said for Nina Norman's songs—which were never anything but delightful—and for the manner in which Beverly O'Brien seemed hly at home on the stage. The highlights of last evening— apart from the music, which should be heard at least once a year by every person who has “no possible | doubts whatever” concerning its ex- cellencies—included a large and well trained and vigorous group of Con- tandines, who never faltered on & note and made up for the skim- milk quality presented by their gen- tleman gondoliers; the singing of Miss Norman, Miss O'Brien, Hassel- tine Dunn (whose voice seems to promise great ilities), Henry Nestor, Rita Reyos (slightly handi- capped by a cold) and Mr. Bagran- off, when he remembered that he wasn't Gus Shy. Ira Phillip Meyer was a particularly smooth-spoken grand inquisitor; Edward Stock, jr., was a credible Duke of Plaza-Toro.

These two headliners are easily capable of carrying a much Jess excellent performance than is offered by their supporting com- pany. Nora and Lillian, individually, supply all the qualities essential to éspecially fine burlesque entertain- ment. Marcella Newberry, a juve- nile blond, also gives promise of something bigger and better than her present chances open up to her. La Varen and Duboise complete the feminine roles. Charles Cole, George Murray and Bob Startzman, with Beasley ard Scanlon, comprise an aggregation of fun kings that would win favor with any show.

CHICAGO, March 1—Cook County was a legal pauper today because its commissioners had failed to adopt a budget for 1932 by midnight last night, the dead line under the Illinois statutes. For several hours the commissioners wrangled over the economy features of a $32,000,000 estimate of expenditures and when the clock struck 12 nothing had been accomplished, not even a vote on dismissal of employes, salary cuts or other retrenchments proposed to ease the financial difficulties that Towels and Toilet Tissues World's Oldest and Largest Manufacturer of Interfolded Products SLIP COVERS MADE TO ORDER SPECIAL THIS WEEK $24.75 & $21.75 For Any 3-Piece Suite Includes All Labor and Material Reupholster in tapestry or velour denim STANDARD UPHOLSTERY CO.
