Theatre on

ing at the Oriental Wednesday and Thursday. with Sally Ellers and Ben Lyon in the leading roles.

Miss Ellers portrays the title part, that of a hardworking young lady who handles the hats and wraps at a famous New York night club, and Lyon that of a young millionaire whose Arst meeting with his future fance is when he finds her asleep in his apartment. From this accidental beginning their acquaintance flowers rapidly. complicated by such events as her arrest on a false charge of selling Hiquor, a ide on the city sprink- ling cart when their taxi breaks down, and a trip to the Andiron- dacks during which Lyon proposes. and is accepted.

The sparkling Ginger Rogers. who enacts the role of Miss Ellers chum and fellow-worker. supplies much of the comedy in the pro- duction.
