The show opened with the girls seated at small tables and the principals Imperson- ating popular players now and of the peat. Helen Adair did a pretty Loretta Taylor In "Peg O'My Heart" Warn Miller was good as Bernard Gran- ville. He sang and danced and presented a neat appearance In a well fitting dress suit. • - Norma Bell made up well as Fay Balnter in "East Is West," and as a Japanese girl looked the part. Harry Koler In an impersonation of the late Joe Welch, was excellent. In fact, he did the character so weU that he was called back several times. Joe Rose did the best Joe Weber we have seen in many a long day. His actions and dialect were much Uke the famous com- edian. Solly Fields was engaged to portray Lew Fields but was unable to do so at the last minute, so It was done by another. Singing and dancing specialties were of- fered by chorus girls between those griven by the principals. Also, four of Kahn's shapeliest girls were seen, at rimes, in sev- eral poses In union suits on a platform. Grace Howard, who came into New York last -week, Jumped into the show on a half hour's notice, to take the place of Haxel Hargls. who failed to show up Monday. Miss Howard was In a number of scenes and went through them as though she had rehearsed for a week. She had two num- bers, .which she put over with plenty of "pep." Her costumes were dainty and pretty. She was greeted with a fine recep- tion on her entrance. The "tabled bit went over wen as given by Rose, Koler, MlUer and Miss Bell. The "sick" bit was well done by Koler, Rose, Miller, and the Misses Howard, Ben and Adair. The "crying" bit was amusing and had them laughing out front. Rose, Koler, Mil- ler, and the Misses Bell, Adair and Howard were in It. Miss Bell's wardrobe was pretty and she was in good voice Tuesday afternoon. Miss Adair, the lady with the sweet personality, looked and worked with her usual success. Koler and Rose handled the comedy ex- ceptionally well, while Wenn Miller took care of the "straight" and juvenile parts. The "Seminary Girts" the burlesque was called. The numbers and bits offered went over successfully, and~were liked. The house was crowded at the matinee Tuesday.—Sid.
