Prepared by Lew Watson and Harry Marks Stewart, who also plays the principle parts. Also featuring Larry Smith. Mamie Champion is one of the most efficient
women in the show. She sings often, msklng a
number of changes. Msdellne Webb, ss a rural
maiden of the "81s Hopkins" type, without the
brsids and gawky attainment, gained prominence
and impressed with her efforts. Lee Allen is of
good appearance snd delivered his lines in an Intelligent
manner. A "Soul Kiss" dance by Mr.
Allen and Lucie Arnold la featured. The "dance"
might be of aoothlng effect to a ragtime melody,
with the wiggling and accompanying movements,
but the "soul kiss" wss in no wsy evident. There
are eighteen girls in the chorus. Prominent sre
Patsy Gallagher and Maude Black, their program
names, who showed ambition.
The
peculiar humor evidently aroused the sensibilities
of the big Sunday night crowd, for the audience
was kept In constant laughter and applauded all
the musical Interpolations, among them a "Baby"
song, which retarded the action on account of Its
numerous encores. The song appealed principally
on account of Its Intimacy with the audience.
It scintillates
with the Watson brand of comedians and girls. The show Is well put together, ss familiar
burlesque, snd should meet with spproval along
the circuit.
