V comedian who is the featured member of June 7?o5rrfs TVH MeMp.r thA acrobatic John Cort's "Listen Lester," which opens at the Heilig tonight, used to be a circus performer; hence his surprising ability to throw himself around without suffering physical injury. Heider is a great believer in walking, and tramps five miles every day, rain or shine, just to keep in condition. In evening clothes he resembles a rather slight individual and his strength and ability would not be suspected by a casual observer. June Roberts, who has danced her way into popular favor in "Listen Lester," is only 17 years of age. but has already attained a position of im portance on the musical-comedy stage. She attributes her success thus far and her expectations of the future to a rigorous schedule, which is adhered to as rigidly as the routine of any business house. On non-matinee afternoons singing and dancing lessons occupy all of the little lady's time. Whatever spare hours remain in the day are crowded with lessons in phys ical culture and fencing. Stardom in four years is her goal. Her career began officially three seasons ago in Raymond Hitchcock's company in "Hitchy Koo." French Dinner, daily, E to '8 F. M.. 11. 738 Johnson st Main 3796.
