Still another was added to the long list of annual "reviews of revues" last Monday night, when "Vogues and Vanities" appeared at the Majestic Theatre. Far from following in the generally tedious wake of those super-vaudevillian productions, however, this new musical hodgepodge proves to be a diverting first cousin of the "Follies," and aided by a substantial number of star comedians, succeeds in keeping the audience in an alternating state of genuine laughter and applause...
