Show PANTAGES The interest of the audiences that have seen the new bill at Pantages this week, seems to center in Eileen Glennan who in "The Kingdom of Dreams" gives an exhibition of oriental dancing v- which is unique and distinctive, and the organi-"' organi-"' nality displayed in her costumeB is, to say the least, an eye opener. The most daring of the many exotic effects she produces is a deep purple pur-ple in which the draperies almost surround her, but not so as to interfere with any of her movements. move-ments. This dance was probably smybolical of the idea of "The Deep Purple," the natives have in the Orient and it might readily be imagined that Bill Mizner designed it. Instead of being handicapped by the inanity of the act in which she Is featured, Miss Glennan's dancing is the one thing that illuminates an otherwise stupid performance. The (Five Gorgonis who open the bill, are $ clever acrobats of the European type. Harry Cornell and Ethel Corley and company, present a sketch called "Smithy and the Eel," which contains some elements new to the crook drama. Early and Lalght, who present a "comedy con-- con-- . ' ceit," "Women as is," have more conceit than comedy, though it was nice to hear the old jokes once again. Clayton and Lennie, a couple of dub comedians come-dians have managed to bore the audiences at the three a day to the limit, and that's about all. For next week the management announces Coccla, Amato and company in "The Slums of Paris," featuring the dagger dance; John Romano, harpist; George Wilson, Devitt and Devitt, and Rish and Robinson. |
