CLAYTON WHITE, MARIE STUART & CO: Composed of one man and two women. The sketch that they were presenting is entitled "In Paris." It is an excellent vehicle and they act it to perfection. It causes one long laugh from the rise to the fall of the curtain. 30 minutes full stage.
CHARLIE CASE: Monologist. As a fun-maker this accomplished performer is on a plaet of his own and his nearest competitors might just as well give up all hopes of ever inhabiting it with him. His work is simply marvelous. 18 minutes of convulsive laughter in 1.
THE AMERICAN BIOGRAPH: A feature that always scores.
