the epithet of derision applied by a

Thursday for a three-day run, the
management announces these other
productions.
(iowns and bathing suits and ex

every way.
Flappers are getting "hotter," too,
according to Alice White, dynamic
little star who has just come to fame
for Interprpting them on the screeu.
A while ogo, the red-heod was the
hottest, flapper. Now it's the blonde.
Why? Simply because white-hot is
hotter than red-hot.
Mi.ss White, co-fentured with Jack
Mulhall, will next be seen here in
