Two of trie greatest comedians on the American stage, Hamtree Harrington and Shelton Brooks, supply the fun, aided by some of the funniest comedy "situations" which "the reviewer have seen in recent years. In addition to the fine comedy, Gayeties also boasts of some fine dancing, some entrancing novelties, a fascinating dramatic bit and a sweet, well played musical score.

The Lafayette is also offering a most unusual and enjoyable all talking, all singing Vitaphone drama, "The Desert Song," the screen version of the great stage drama and romantic operetta. "Th Desert Song" is a picture. It has a cast of more tban two hundred players. It was filmed on the burning sands of the Sahara Desert It unfolds the charming romance between the mysterious "Red Shadow" and the daughter of a French general in a manner which is only made possible through the marvelous development of She Vitaphone. Added to the passionate lovemaking, the fierce fighting, the hilarious' comedy is the wondertul singing of the principal members of the cast and of a chorus or more than 100 voices.

Some of the desert scenes are reproduced in natural colors. The effect is more beautiful than words can tell. The conversation, as it comes' over the Lafayette's new Western Electric Equipment is clear and natural and Hc)ps make "The Desert Song" the picture treat or tne season. Next Week's Show.
