...soldier is wounded, "come out to cut up what remains." After a short peer, Romans delightedly readjusted their impressions. Her Majesty, Queen Badsha of Afghanistan, is a slender, lovely woman with ivory skin, bright dancing eyes, and a quick queenly smile. She wore, last week, a close, black Parisian fur coat, a chic cloche hat. She and her daughters had never before appeared unveiled in public. Brave, they not only laid aside their veils but rose to the occasion with knee-length skirts. "Viva! Viva!," cried gallants...

...cranks are carping. Mr. Wynn is not as funny as he can be, but he continues safely as one of the five or six funniest men in the world. Surrounding him herein are stunning costumes from the designs of Roman de Tirtoff-Erté and executed by Max Weldy, Parisian; stunning chorus girls from the designs of Divine Providence; and periodic blasts of song. The thing also seems to have a plot, something about a girl from Manhattan slums who became famous in the Folies Bergere. In his most recent Scandals, George White introduced the now virtually incessant Black Bottom...
