Which brings us up to Charles King and company in a pretentious musical mélange, “Love Letters.” With gorgeous drops, expensive costuming, Mr. King offers a rather original idea for showing half a dozen girls who are chasing a male “vamp.” You’d think that would be enough, assuming he selected six pretty chorus girls . But no. every one of his female contingent can do something – by “do something” is meant she can work with him and play a part good enough for a Broadway musical show. It must be a pretty expensive proposition to take on such a payroll in vaudeville. The production must cost a pretty penny and there is nothing gaudy or garish about. Added to this the salaries must make the weekly overhead almost as large as an ordinary legitimate drama. There is also a special leader to be counted in. it is worth all this, if the average big time house can afford the turn.
