BURLESQUE MINUS
STRIP-TEASE GALS
SliLYJT ART
Anyhow Old Addicts Report
Law -Chastened Shows
Dull As Empty Houses
Bring Impresario Wails.
By Charles Norman
(AP Feature Service Writer)
NEW YORK The dying dirge of
burlesque sounds these days and
nlghta In an unfamiliar honky-tonk
atmosphere.
The girls are there, the comedians
are there, and the barker still chants
his Ingratiating spiel before and af
ter the show, even as of old; but
movies, the night-clubs and the edict
of the city fathera against the strip
tease have taken their toll. Burlesque
ain't what It used to be. It may
never be again.
Valiant was ths word for the Mln
sky brothers and Allen Gilbert, of
Broadway and Forty-second street,
respectively when they reopened af
ter a two-month forced shut-down,
but the reaction of burlesque habi
tues to their shows was: "What la
It?" It wasn't burlesque, It wasn't
vaudeville, It wasn't a revue. All.
however, agreed, whatever It was, It
was terrible.
Its Identity Lost
Burlesque was a formula: a song,
a gag, a girl who undressed rhyth
micallyknown as a strip-teaser.
Without the strip-tease, burlesque, a
step-child of Thespls anyway, albeit
a lustv one. lost its Identity com
pletely. No amoutit of dancing and
singing talent, no amount 01 gags,
could give back to the devoted fol
lnw.T nt the art of Gvnsv Rose Lee
and other stars In the burlesque ga
laxy what the law nad taaen away.
The Mlnsky brothers tried a color
ed revue: their Oriental theater Is
closed now until September, after
playing for a week to an almost-
empty house.
Asked how burlesque followers re
acted to the new entertainment. If
it can he called that. Morton Minsk;
said, somewhat ruefully:
"It's like going Into a restaurant

heyday of burlesque were the envy

' LORAIN, O. (AP) Being a triplet
might be considered fun by soma
folks, but It's Just a bore to Joy. Jean

"Too many people ask you your
name too many times." says Joy.
The mothers of the blonde, blue
eyed glrlB says she too, has had soma
trouble with their similarity.
"I tell one of them to do some
thing and forget which one I told."
Mrs. Mills says, "so I've arranged a
'chore chart' to keep track of them."
The thing that Irritates the chil

greeting of schoolmates: "Hey, Trip."
