The San Francisco Dramatic Review (1908)

^.ril 25, 1914 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW reduced with accuracy, and the nes will present one of the most utiful Alpine spectacles ever wit- sed in this country. A cast of ex- •tional talent, under a director liliar with the country, has been ured, and no expense has been red to make the production a suc- 5. * * * Seven Keys to Baldpate ved into a new home last week, and m now on, indefinitely, will be put- g the Gaiety into Gaiety Theatre, orge M. Cohan's best play is as sh and bright as when it first took w York by storm eight months ago, 1 big audiences are alternately illed and convulsed as the mystery a|d fun developed. The goodly bunch old-fashioned villains, the adven- ess, the grafters, the hermit and all other per.sons of the plot type, re is a plot and plenty of it in this ffazing farce, have been well calcu- ed by Mr. Cohan to enthuse any one ose sense of merriment is not dead thin him. Others of a very strong t deserving special mention were ma Orr, who played the part of vian, the ward of Dr. Arbutus dd, nlayed by Hitchcock. The Doc- delivered his usual .speech. In a ,v concise statements he solved the ricacies of the income tax and an- unced himself as a candidate with he" Roosevelt as his running mate, the 1916 ticket. Go see the Doctor The Beauty Shop and maybe the ighs will save you a trip to your ibular doctor. * * * New York is Dmiscd an old-time border exhibi- n, with all the color and excitement, ^lien Miller Bros, and Arlington's lOi nch Wild West Show opens its sea- at Madison Square Garden next i sday afternoon. On Monday even- .!. as a preliminary to the engage- it, there will be an illuminated pa- ' through the principal uptown i ts. It has been many years since adway saw a Wild West or circus lade, and the procession will prove novehy. * * * Raymond Hitchcock, tlie Hitchcockian style, began his nual New York engagement at the ^ TOR Theatre last week in the ilchcockiest show Broadway has I r seen. The Beauty Shop is the iiduction, presented by Cohan & arris. The books and lyrics are by lianning Pollock and Rcnnold Wolf, 111 the music by Charles J.
