While Arthur
Kherns, the "Dutch" comedian as the professor,
sings of the different holidays, appropriately
dressed girls stepped from a
rose-colored bell.
"The
Great Star and Garter Show", including twenty chorus women, eight
chorus men and eight principals. The piece is in two acts. Chas De Lea sings "School Days", "Love me and the World is Mine" and Huey and Lee's "patriotic" arrangement. Jessie Powers
sings a solo "The Message of the Birthstone." Mae De Lisle perhaps from the chorus,
though programed as a principal, is a
neat dancer at least in the present company,
and Leota Dean, for a minor player,
comes to pleasant attention. "The
Old Red School," led by Miss De Lisle,
made a nice "kid" collection, and "Call Me
a Taxi," as delivered by John T. Powers,
proved a big hit almost at the opening of
the show. "Tam
O' Shanter," with the girls dressed accordingly,
passed away as Anna Kilduff sang it.
