the varieties as Doyle & Dixon. Then there are
Tempest & Sunshine; Blossom Seeley; Joseph Santley, also at his best; Helen Barnes, giving promise in her first part; and Justine Johnstone, who represents the farina-pudding school of art. Finally, to obey the implied injunction that the first shall be last, there is Gaby Deslys. Mr. Fox tells The Lady of the Lilies, "I think you're clever," and Mr. Fox is entitled to his opinion, but it isn't ours. To us, Mile. Deslys always has seemed quite an ordinary French soubrette, full of gurgles, gasps and aspirations. Here, however, she does two rather remarkable dances—one with Mr. Santley and one with Harry Pilcer —and wears some astounding costumes, including a hat that looks as though its plumage had been lifted from a pink hearse.

freshness and inspiration, but this doesn't keep successive audiences from succumbing to the syncopation. Everybody's doing it at "Stop! Look! Listen!" even though the composer may be overdoing it! Mr. Berlin's "stunts" are as ingenious and entertaining as ever. There is a song, "I Love a Piano," strikingly reminiscent of "Alexander's Rag-time Band," accompanied by eight men at as many pianos, the effect of which is not less striking because the thing was done at a Friars' Frolic. A Vogue cover opens and closes to show six beautiful girls in six beautiful gowns; there is a cleverly contrived policeman's dance, programmed "The Law Must Be Obeyed;" and to take the place of the rag-time grand opera in "Watch Your Step," there is a rag-time melodrama.

Certainly there is no gainsaying the liveliness—the appropriate term, I believe, is "pep"—of "Stop! Look! Listen!" or the number of clever people and things in the performance.

couldn't find a plot in "Stop! Look! Listen!" the new Irving Berlin revue at the Globe. In comparison, "Watch Your Step" was a novel by
Alexandre Dumas. This libretto merely pieces together some lively vaudeville, with tunes and ideas from Berlin, each scene being but preamble to a song, and each

Mr. Berlin's lyrics are characteristic. There is real humor in a chorus of men's dressmakers, who are "glad you left it all to Percy! Oh, Mercy!" One's nerves weren't prepared, however, for "Don't be nervous. I'm here at your service!" The Berlin music shows the effect of overproduction, lacking
