Al Reeves’ Show, Has Lots of ‘Pep’ and But Little of Al A capacity audience at the Gayety last night gave a generous applause to many entertaining features of Al Reeves' show which is entirely new this year, except for Reeves' own monologue of his typi- cal “bull con.” The main part of the performance, in which Reeves does not appear, is speedy and popular and con- tains plenty of laughs, music and danc- ing that prove very pleasing. The com- pany is large and has the dash and “pep" that wins approval, and the show is a long one. “The Wrong Mr. Wright,” a clever farce with music, is the first part of the bill, and it furnishes ample grounds for many a Happy New Year laugh. The other three acts are regular burlesque. “Slumming,” and introduce numerous vaudeville specialties. Chief among these is the harmony and fun provided by the Monarch Comedy Four, who hold. the stage fully twenty minutes and are so §ood that the crowd doesn't want them to quit. Ball and Marshall offer accept- able instrumental, vocal and dancing stunts, Rene Cooper wins favor as a soubret, Ruth Wilson's baritone voice is exceptional for a little girl, and the songs of Maude Rockwell and Margie Demarest are encored many times, A feature called “Discovering Talent,” in which a number of the chorus girls do individual stunts, also is popular. The show closes with a new assortment of Jiving pictures. Public School to Be Opened Monday Schools of the city will be reopened Monday morning, following the Christ- mas vacation.
