KiJmrd Carle’s musical show,
"ushlno” but somehow Its lacks

personal work Of Ur. Carle with his
cr populsr run of comical chatter,
was up to this star’s usual standard
and he Is carring with him a company

t Moment by Teck Murdock and a
shimmying prelude to a dancing re
vue called the *’Hispaniola Crawl” ex
ecuted by a thinly crimson clad miss
who gave an exhibition to.prove that
one does cot .always have to dance to
with tiie feet to bis popular. The au
dience was rather reserved with Its
applauso, though there was lots of
per.nino laughter mingled along with
the pnehores
Teck Murdock may have a few
nones In hie body but It would be a
hard matter convlncng anyone who

of them are really rigid His dancing
was the best thing of the entire show
Mr. Carle notwithstanding.
The house was not a crowed one
