Above all, though, the show is fast. Everyone dances: almost all of them competently, some well--at least one; Edward Allen, in a Buster West sort of tumble, superbly. At the rise of the curtain the play achieves a headlong velocity which it strives to keep up all evening for the most part with good success. This swift tempo is largely due to the chorus, the "Twelve Judy Joyous Joy Walkers", very rightly headlined.

That seemed more likely, said friends of his who, like most young Frenchmen, had read the tales of Edgar Allen Poe. But the police said no to both hypotheses. What had happened was quite simple, they said. Raoul La Chapelle had dressed for the feête, had climbed up on the stool to see himself full length in the glass. Standing so, he had taken hold of the grips, connected to elastic cords, on which he did his daily exercises...
