Frank Abbott, who
has been identified with the "legitimate" for
years, has assumed the managerial reins and
had made a number of changes for the better. Fields and Wooley handle the principal comedy. James Rowland adds a good
Irish character, Thomas Dugan has the "straight" role. Maggie Ross
and Liddy Berg have been taken from the chorus
to Introduce a burlesque on the "Merry Widow
Waltz" and do !{ cleverly, while the "Kiddo"
dance, which Is a new title for a "cooch." done
by Ollie Omega, was suppressed after the first
show. Jeanne Brooks Is still wearing her smile
and with a change of songs proved one of the
features of the show. The Lynotte Sisters made
a good appearance In showy dresses, but need to
display a little life to keep pace with the rest. Fields and
Wooley work hard from start to finish.
