KEMP'S BALSAM | FOR THAT COUGH! | — Judging the Shows (Continued from page 18) never spread himself more lavishly. For the cost of a single one of his costumes, Mr. Carroll might have hired Ring Lardner to do a whole sketch. True enough, there aren't more than a couple of such costumes, but the estimable Ring might even have been bribed out of a good joke for the cost of one of the hundreds of elaborately beaded ceintures de Sum- ner. The good joke would have helped matters considerably, for as things stand there is nothing to laugh at but the spectacle of a stage full of nude women. A stage full of nude women may interest any num- ber of Sunday school superintendents, Y. M. C. A. presidents, Yale sopho- mores and bloomer salesmen, but so far as the present professor is con- cerned he'd rather look at Joe Cook with all his clothes on. It may be, however, that Mr. Car- roll, a sagacious showman, has done the thing deliberately, duly appre- ciating that a platform full of women in the altogether is ten times funnier than all the sketches and jokes Ring Reducing his handicap. —Passing Show Lardner or anybody else could write. About one woman out of every 2,000, my pastor informs me, is sufficiently attractive without clothes on not to give a man a severe colic. The average member of the fair sex, un- clothed, is, the same authority tells me, about as lovely as a German umbrella jardinére turned upside down. My own purely amateur ex- perience of the subject, gained from a ion of the revue stages, persuades me to believe that my reverend friend knows more or less what he is talking about. After looking at the un- dressed “Vanities” ladies for two hours, I found it necessary to support myself with an esthetic bolus in the shape of a protracted staring at the mother-hubbards in the Seventh avenue shop window to the right of the theater entrance. Since the visual attributes of this year’s “Vanities” do Earl Carroll proud, it is a pity that he didn’t look zs closely after the other features of his exhibit. As things are, if you want to see a good show, I recom- mend his offering to you, and highly. But if you want to hear a good show, that is another matter. comicbooks.com
