As tho "Vil-lage "Vil-lage Cut-ups," however, May and her girls aro dressed in awkward coon-try coon-try costumes such as nfver could havo made Worth famous. May and her girls aro well worth an Orpheum ticket. Arthur Demlng, the black face comedian com-edian is also good and Jollies the houso Into convulsions for fully fifteen minutes. min-utes.
