Marlon Morgan's Dancers, in the three-scene classic dancing melodrama anent Atilla and his Huns, proved the biggest and finest of the Morgan presentations ever seen here. The two exterior sets are gorgeous, and the sizzling finale is a climax in artistic and terrific spectacle and effects. The story is plausible, easy to follow, pointedly interpreted with clear cut pantomime, spicily interlarded with dance ensembles and solos of elevated order yet neither highbrow nor elusive. It is necessary in this Morgan act to mention individuals. Josephine McLean as the princess, is a creature of artistry, plastic graces and dramatic power. Charles Haverlin, as Atilla, is beyond most of the client purveyors of strong emotions. Cecile Lee, with a sort of speechless, dancing Jane Cowl part, an the injured and weepful wife who is cast off and has her eyes gouged out, punctuated every picture with power. The Morgan choruses are numerous, exquisitely trained, discreetly selected and more daringly near-clothed than ever in the past. The headliner holds over for a second week here, a rarity in Chicago, roundly earned in this extraordinary instance. The audience warmed to the offering with heavy appreciation throughout and at the close. It easily stood out without competition on this bill, which thoroughly lacked distinction otherwise.
