New Show in Manhattan

Artists & Models. This summer-blooming perennial of Producers Lee & Jake Shubert is called this year the "Paris-Riviera Edition of 1930." It is a vague lineal descendant of an English musical comedy called Dear Love to which has been added a repertoire of singers, dancers and acrobats, much to the bewilderment of the spectators.

Phil Baker plays snatches on a glittering accordion and bandies old gags and a very few new ones with his fat comic in an upper box. Aileen Stanley croons sundry ballads in the ultra-modulated, effortless manner. Most talented member of the troupe is Wesley Pierce, whose name does not appear in upper case type with the other headliners, but who thoroughly ingratiates himself with audiences by making difficult feats of acrobatic dancing look easy, by singing inane songs pleasingly, by looking cheerfully funny. There are also 44 personable chorus girls, of whom more is to be seen than of any other group of Broadway females now exhibited. An almost fictitious line in the program reads: "Scanties and brassieres by the Model Brassiere Co."
