"As Thousands Cheer" Has
Satire, Burlesque, Music
Revue Is Quite Frank, \Vith Plenty of Gay
Tunes and Dances—Draws Capacity
Audience to National.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.
THE argument this week at the National goes something like
this: "Is Dorothy Stone as good as Marilyn Miller? Does
Queen Mary's hat look the same on Margaret Irving as it
did on Helen Broderick? Can a revue featuring (originally)
Clifton Webb and Helen Broderick survive without Clifton Webb
and Helen Broderick? Are those dancers, Grace and Kurt Gratï,
as good as those other dancers? In plain language, is "As Thou
sands Cheer' as good as it used to be?"
Yes and no. The sketches are
bulletproof. The participants are tal
ented. The music is pleasant. Ethel
Waters raises the roof. Clifford Menz
has a swell voice. Jerome Cowan
looks like John D. Rockefeller. Tommy
Hamilton looks like the Price of Wales.
The chorus girl to the left of the
one in the center should be in the
movies. Dorothy Stone's Joan Craw
ford is a classic. Margaret Irving
brings the Statue of Liberty to life j
with a hey-nonnie-nonnie and a cou
ple of other things. The scenery (but |
for three or four "drops" which the i
Fire Department yanked out before
the curtain rose» is as it used to be.
The music is hot and played excel
lently by Harry Levant's orchestra in
the pit. Barbara Hutton gets her
man. Ethel Waters has her "Heat
Wave." "Easter Parade" is still one
of best-staged sketches of all time.
Ghandi and Aimee Semple MacPher
eon still book each other on a vaude
ville tour.
Βι/t—oh, well!—comparisons being
what they are (never fortunate) and
since you probably haven't seen the
show more than four or five times in
New York, anyway. "As Thousands
Cheer" is still a good show. It may
lack Clifton Webb's sophistication: it :
may be unavoidably let down by the
abeence of Miss Broderick; the
sketches may not crackle the way
they used to it he one about John D.
Rockefeller goes smack over most of
the audiences), but in the long run— !
or any kind of a run—the show is still

"Dumbest Beauty
Aiming at Movies,
Lands in Coast Jail
By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, February 11—It
was a short cut to fame in Hollywood
that Joan Redell, 22-year-old plati
num blond, sought to travel. Today
all she had found was notoriety.
A year ago Miss Redell came from
New York publicized as "the most
beautiful dumb-bell," hoping to land
a job in the films.
"Volumes, one, two and three are
my favorite books," she told inter
viewers.
She said she was anxious to see
Mickey Mouse, "who I think is Holly
wood's greatest star."
She said she thought the Kentucky
Derby was a Southern gentleman's
hat.
But her lack of knowledge, whether
real or feigned, failed to lead to the
gates of film fame.
Today Miss Redell sits in the city
jail, charged with grand theft. Fail
ing to find work in the films, she
took a job as a domestic. Later, the
police alleged, she took her employer's
clothes and pawned them.
-DAILY SHORT STORY
DAISY'S DAUGHTER
Kathleen's Tyrannical Father Lifted His Ban on Boy Friends
After His Encounter With Lee Loomis.
BY MARJORIE ERICKSEX.
A FIERY dragon
guarding a
princess in a
tower could not
have been more
zealous than was
Tom Clegg in the
care of his daugh
ter Kathleen. No
suitor had been
able to withstand
him. He never ap
plied his boot, as
did the comic
strip fathers: nor
did he scowl and
grimace, as they
did on the screen.
But with a few
searching q u e s
tlons and caustic
comments he
scorched them as
efficiently as any
firedrake.
When Kathleen
made tearful ob
jection to his tac
tics he patted her
shoulder lovingly.
pie. Not very hun
gry. Where's Kath
leen?"
"Oh — er — she
went out riding."
'•Out riding? ι
With whom?"
"Now. dad, he's
a very nice boy, I'm
sure. His name is
Lee Loomis." There
was no use trying
to deceive him now.
He attacked the
^ chops as though
the luckless Loomis
lay beneath his
knife.
" G a 11 i vanting
F around is she? I'll
- soon fix him!" He
I carved the air with
his knife and went
into details. Fin
ishing a gargantuan
bite, he pushed
back his plate and
strode to the liv
ing room window.
Daisy followed tim
idly.
"I Should Say Not," Replied Lee.
"Plenty οι time tor the boys, my dear.
Be your dad's girl just a little longer."
You could in some instances un
derstand his antipathy. For exam
ple, it would have been hard to
welcome Glenn Wilson into the
family after he had backed his car
into the rosebush that Mr. Clegg
had brought all the way from his
mother's garden in the old country.
It was only adding insult to injury
when Glenn offered to buy him
another "just like it."
Then there was Harold, who had
wiped his greasy hands on Daisy's
guest towel, and that red-headed fel
low that had run out of gas on a
country road. Kathleen had come
home from that ride like Cinderella
after the clock struck—save that her
coach turned into a farmer's truck
lull of cucumber pickles.
No, it was small wonder that Tom
Clegg had no patience with them or
their cars.
When Kathleen met Lee Loomis
she admitted to herself that it was
going to be worse than ever, because
this time she had really fallen in
love. She hated to deceive her father,
but secret meetings became the rule.
True, Lee begged permission to face
the monster, but Kathleen implored
him not to. Not just yet, anyhow.
Only one night a week did Lee call
for Kathleen at her home. That was
Tuesday, when the Tired Business
Men's Bowling Association met. Then
her father would not be home until
late, and Daisy, her mother, would
never betray her.
One Tuesday in July Lee appeared
at the door in old trousers and a
sweater.
"Surprise. Kay!" he said, waving his
hand toward two bicycles leaning
against the fence.
"Why, Lee! What "
"Rented 'em for the evening. You'll
like it when you get the hang of it."
Hastily Kathleen changed into
shorts and with a wave to Daisy they
were off.
Ten minutes later Mr. Clegg came
home.
"Why, Tom!" gasped Daisy. "Aren't
you bowling?"
"Bowling? No. Caught a cold in
my beck. That infernal fan."
"Some supper, Tom?"
"Just a bite—couple of pork chops
and some fried potatoes, salad and

quish the intruder he strode onto the
front lawn, telling Daisy just how he
would dispose of his intended victim.
The Smiths on the left and the Browns
on the right listened avidly and,hid
behind their curtains to watch the
fray.
Finally Kathleen and Lee hove into
view on their bicycles. Daisy fled to
the house. Mrs. Smith Jostled Mr.
Smith for a better view.
Mr. Clegg gazed in open-mouthed
astonishment. Bicycles! Not a dirty,
smelly car, but bicycles. A flood of
memories assailed him. Young people
—and bicycles. He'd forgotten so
many things. Remembering, his de
fenses crumbled.
"Lee, run!" whispered Kathleen.
"I should say not," replied Lee,
drawing himself to his full height
beside his wheel.
"Soooo, you've been cycling, have
you?" A last clutch at the stern
parent role.
"Yes, sir. You're Kathleen's father?
I'm Lee Loomis."
"Humph. How far did you go to
night?"
"About 6 or 8 miles. I think."
Mr. Clegg replied with a ground
shaking snort, "Six or 8 miles! A
mere warm-up! Now when I was
young—20, 30, 40 miles, we thought
nothing of it. Kathleen must pack a
lunch on Sunday and you must try
for a record run."
"Yes, sir; I'd be glad to."
Kathleen was speechless. Whatever
had come over dad?
"Which reminds me," continued
Mr. Clegg, "you must be hungry.
Nothing like cycling for an appetite.
I well remember how we used to eat.
Come inside and Kathleen's mother
will make us a bit to eat."
A sudden thought struck him, and
he chuckled.
"I don't suppose even Kathleen
knows this—Daisy has kept It quiet
because she didn't think it very dig
nified—but, ha, ha! Daisy and I
eloped on a bicycle."
And he strode up the stairs ahead
of them, caroling blithely.
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you."

Tomorrow: "Adopted Bride," by
Mae House, is a story of a loyalty

Contralto in Brilliant
Concert With Orchestra
Doris Doe of Metropolitan, Substituting for
Sophie Braslau, Wins Yesterday's Audience.
Symphony s w ork Is Impressive.
BY ALICE EVERSMAX.
NO SUBSTITUTING artist in recent memory has received the I
admiring acclaim that greeted Doris Doe, contralto of the
Metropolitan Opera, who took the place of Sophie Braslau :
as soloist yesterday with the National Symphony Orchestra,
Immediately following her opening number, "Erda's Scene," Irom
Wagner's "Das Rheingold," the audience broke into that kind of
applause which is not merely polite, but to an attuned ear, showed
a glad recognition of a fine voice and real talent.
Miss jjoe possesses uie aignuy
which comes from a consciousness of
knowing what she is about and how
she will attain her effects. This con
fidence at once set the listener at rest
as regards her ability and provided a
beginning for the enjoyment of her
singing. Her voice, of resonant large
ness and warmth, is excellently
schooled and responsive to every
gradation of her interpretive desires.
In the two difficult arias from Wag
ner's opera, the second being Ort
rude's aria from •'Lohengrin.'· sub
stituted for Wagner's song "Traueme,"
on the printed program, she by no
means reached the limit of her vocal
power, but sang with easy control and
freedom throughout her wide range.
Both arias are more effective in their
place in the operas rather than on a
concert program, but Miss Doe's man
ner of singing them put one immedi
ately into the atmosphere of the story,
thereby retaining all their effective
ness.
A second appearance was devoted
to the songs of Brahms. Strauss,
Sibelius and Rangstrom, given with
finely developed nuances and a dra
matic realization of difference in style.
The two contrasting numbers. Strauss'
"Wiegenlied" and Rangstrom's "En
Gammel Dansrytm." showed the
range of her versitility as well as her
expert command of vocal color. If
something more than her beautiful
singing of the programmed numbers
was needed to assure her success, her
choice of the English songs, Olm
stead's "Thy Sweet Singing" and Sid
ney Homer's "Dearest." as encores,
completed her conquest of the audi
ence, which heard her for the first
time in the difficult role of substitute
for a popular singer. When she re
turns again she can count on a cordial
reception.
Dr. Kindler began and ended the
orchestra program with two works
widely divergent in the type of their
emotional content. Although Handel's
"Largo," played yesterday in ob
servance of the composer's 250th
birthday, was not written in religious
vein, it is distinctly so in nobility of
musical sentiment and stately con
struction. It invites to lofty thought
and spiritual expansion and these at
tributes were further impressive by
the rich, organlike volume of tone,
which was the orchestra's happy
achievement yesterday.
For the final number Dr. Kindler
repeaiea oiDenus sympnonv wo. i
in D Minor" in response to many re
quests since its first performance No
vember 1. There is nothing in
Sibelius' mighty symphony that leads
one to contemplation of the spiritual,
but rather a glorification of nature
in both the earth and humanity. Mr.
Sibelius' music reflects the grandeur
of towering mountain peaks, rugged
and massive; mountain streams, rush
ing with power and speed to their
destination, and the sentiments of
people whose lives are dominated by
ι the boldness of nature.
The music swings through wide
spaces and touches the limits of every
dimension. It is rough and dramatic
and even in the singing melody of the
second movement can be likened to
a glorious sunrise outlining the jagged
edges of a vast mountain range.
Sibelius speaks of things that we have
covered with the veneer of civilization,
but for him there are no inhibitions
and he writes of people of the soil and
their emotions. It is powerful music
and good to hear after the delicacy
and intellectuality that has increas
ingly colored the music of today. The
orchestra read it nobly and all in the
audience responded to its vitality and
dramatic impressiveness.
The delicate and charming music
which Delibes included in his suite
from "Le Roi s'amuse." which was
the third number of the orchestral
program, was soon forgotten and over
shadowed by the stirring work of
Sibelius. The entire program, includ
ing the unexpected soloist, was in
tensely satisfying and one which left
a lasting impression.

"SUNKIST PEACHES" ARE
ATTRACTION AT GAYETY
Jack Montague Is Star Comedian
and Show Has Several
Favorites.
Jark Montague, comic with "Sun
kiit Peaches," current I. B. A. offer
ing at the Gayety, has devised for
himself a skit which is true burlesque
and which in every way fulfills the
demands of the dictionary's definition
of the word. "Ludicrous or exagger
ated imitation or representation,"
says the big book, and Mr. Montague's
hilarious travesty on the familiar
display number is just that. His dizzy
dance 1s the first thing in many moons
to have a couple of calloused reviewers
doubled up with guffaws. See "Sun
kist Peaches" for this one number
alone and you won't feel cheated.
Also appearing at the Gayety this
week is a dancer who is moet adept
in her art. Aiexianne is marvelously
sure of herself and displays much
grace and a certain amount of triple
jointedness in a polished modernistic
control dance she does in the first
act. "Sunkist Peaches" has in addi
tion a list of burlesque's favorite
feminine performers and a passable
amount of comedy. There are Elvie.
so-called "Southern Sweetheart" or
something of the sort, who scores im
mensely; Wanda De Von, a favorite
with the boys in the pews: Tiny Huff,
who is blond, and Mile. Hermoine,
who is very brunette.
The comedy is done by the above
named Mr. Montague, Charles La
Ford, who has a knock-out inebriate
sketch; Lou Petel, who does the
straight role in a finished manner,
and Bob Rogers, who is some sort of
a combination comedian-straight
man singer, and who well fills any c?f
his roles. Todd and Dodd, clever boy

MURDER AND
HONEYMOON
AT KEITH'S
Miss Oliver Has Leading
Role in Mystery-Comedy
of the Better Sort.
Since Edna May Oliver can, In the
eyes of this department, Uo no wrong,
it is not possible to say whether
"Murder on a Honeymoon," now play
ing at Keith's, is first rate, second rate
or no account at all. It has Miss
Oliver, and that should be enough
for anybody.
Miss Oliver, ever since she and
Mary Boland romped around the stage
with Raymond Gulan (Gene Ray
mond) in "Cradle Snatchers" on
Broadway, has gone her way, looking
for all the world as though she, had
been wrung through a ringer and
steadily becoming more and more the
salt of the earth. Her success has not
come from the rouge pot. but from a
healthy inclination to be herself—and
if by now you are not acquainted with
her herring look and the way she
trundles herself about the screen, a
visit to Keith's this week will teach
you what you should undoubtedly
know.
"Murder on a Honeymoon" is not
by any means a vital contribution
to screen literature, but It's the eort
of Saturday night fare that sits well
after a pudding. It is amusing, some
times exciting, and ends up practi
cally nowhere. There's a murder In
an airplane, a couple of other mur
ders, Jimmie Gleason as Miss Oliver's
crony-in-crime and a cast that seems
eminently suited to its business.
A slight sort of a business and you
won't mind seeing it at all, particu
larly since Miss Oliver's name is
Hildegarde end she prances around
as a female Sherlock Holmes hap
pily poking her nose in other peo
ple's business.
The manager bet us. too, that we
couldn't guess the murderer. He got
his cigar—or rather, he'll get it.
