Lew Leslie's "International Revue"

Lew Leslie's "International Revue."

In these maneuvers the nations, each represented by squadrons of beauties, find it quite easy to maintain a parity of nudity. The proceedings are of the hot weather variety which used to occur on the old Winter Garden stage before the lean years fell on the spangle manufacturers. Among the show's subtler assets are a waltz by Moss & Fontana, a bedroom scene in which Gertrude Lawrence creates considerable foolishment, and the spinning, leaping rhythms of Anton Dolin, a swarthy Englishman who once led the Diaghiliev Rus-sian ballet. Jimmy McHugh has written pleasant songs ("On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Exactly Like You") which are plugged by Harry Richman. But the revue is in general gaudy, vulgar, and provides little opportunity for the best efforts of its best talent.

Gala Night introduces James Rennie as a Hungarian tenor in an operatic comedy which attempts a witty scherzo and achieves a tedious legato. He becomes embroiled with several jealous women, but extricates himself just in time to enjoy the startling success of the little understudy whom he has secretly married. The cast works valiantly.
