Suits Moore and Geo. B. Scanlou hare staged a show in which critics hare trouble to pick Saws. Good laughable comedy, up-to-date material, a fine chorus of gingery pretty girls, and a splendid production Is the result. "The Fortune Hunters" is written along the lines of two rlrsls for the hand and fortune of a wldowfajand "A Day at Newport" combines fun at the shore and a touch of horse racing, with good laughing results. Suits Moore, with his own copyrighted laugh plays Schmidt, In his loose-fitting clothes, and uses his loose walk, and his Intentions to bare a good time are finally carried oat. George B.

Quale Is beautiful and represents three-quarters of the tills of the farce easily.

Margaret Lea makes a charming prima donna Stan- She pmles In lavender Buster Brown suits. A showy has a repertoire at wardrobe that oust need opening, trim a guarantee that the Lowry Amuse- more than, a few Taylor made trunks. sent Co. picked a good looking background for the principals. After . this, which is all In a blue and wblte set, representing the reception holt of Mrs. Warren's Academy, Estelle Cameron; as "Instructress in Deportment," In a pretty blue town, leads "Sailing on the Nancy Lee." and wits the entrance of Patsy (Arthur Searles) as a red headed meseenger boy, with' a telgram an- wmrtnir the coming of Plnkerton Burns, "$3,000 lev/aid" got started, and romped along till 10.81 P. H. with but a few regular laughs. In programmed order Arthur Searles sang "Ob, My Love," assisted by the chorus, and Is followed by Estelle Cameron, In a two piece, ■nazly-nttlng bine "gym" suit and fleshings to Batch, that gives a marvelous idea of bow gen- erous "the powers that be" were In endowing her wltb 13.000 worth of some figure. I "Gym- asslum Girls" is the number she has for it, assisted again by about a dosen girls. In '.'the prettiest of Ideas" In" female "gym" suits, de- signed alike, but of black and white, pink and white, and purple and wblte hues. "In the Candle Light" brought pretty and pop- ular Lllla Breunsn Into the spot. In a lacey, X-ray dressing gown and boudoir cap, assisted by the chorus, in transparent dressing gowns. Miss Breuaan was in line voice and the number should have gone even better than toe lazy, slim crowd of to night awarded it. - George Hayes brought them, up In their seats with his special words to "AH He Does Is Fol- low Them Around." and sang about hslf & dozen or more verses before calling quits. Jack and Jeanette Gold were a huge success In a graceful whirlwind dance specialty, and the final "neck swing" was good for a thrill. They looked neat; Jack In gray evening clothes and Jeanette In an appropriate dance gown of same color. . , W. A. Wolfe and Margaret Lee were next to told in the variety part of the show. In songs. With Miss Lee In black and white satin, striped bodice and becoming bat to match, and Mr. Wolfe In a striped flannel suit and straw, their first cumber wss "I Wsnt to Meet the Man Who Wrote That Melody." In good harmony; Miss Lee followed with, a solo, after a quick change to a Spanish, rose colored fringed gown ana sailor to match, for displaying a most sweet soprano voice that has range and smoothness la every sole, and "Beautiful Roses" could not be im- proved npon to show off the full quality of her vocal fortune. She Is good to look upon, baa a ane figure, and makes a stunning appearance In all she wears. A bass solo by Mr. Wolfe, changed to evening dress, was a following strong number, and they finished together, using "Celebration Day In Ten- nessee," with another change by Miss Lee to a Jet beaded black gown and a chic becoming clack hat, and they were given a grand ovation. Lllla Brencan and George Hayes were next, with Mlas Brennan retaining the filmy dressing gown to stag "1 Want a Little Loving Sometimes," under •pot, seated on a sofa and directing her "wants" at Hayes, while George brought out the giggles with bis "taken by surprise" business. Their repeat together and kiss business, with comic All looking the Job over and mugging, was good for another encore. Margaret Lee lead. 'Xlngering." the final nom In beanty to any ingenue's In ?

Arthur Searles hasn't much to do In the mes- reurer hoy role, snd W. A. Wolfe gives a good account of himself In the Sherlock part of Pinker- ton Bursa. H. A. Saunders is lost, except when he finds time as a wslter to Juggle the high hst, cane, cigar and dishes of his guests Ears and Andy, In Ibe second act, and his specialty of manipulating one stick with one other two. He was roundly rewarded for bis efforts. Jack Gold has a minor role, and doubles as s crook wltb Saunders in the first act. He i-blnes, with Jeonnetts Gold, In their footwork special- ties.

The encore Is taken, "in one," before a red velvet drop, with the entire company straddling the footlights. Pretty effect. During the Becond set, which takes place In the Japanese Gardens in tho grounds surrounding the Warren Academy, the first hearty laughs crop out in the Apache dance of AH and Hayes, after Margaret Lee sings "Dome Bsck to Me" In a "lie green show gown that spells class from the corresponding satin slippers to the top of the hat she wears. The setting Is top notch, and the electrical effects make the scene most realistic; and beautiful, with the show girls in different colored etenlng gowns and picture hats, seated at falf a dozen tables or so, and tho ponies in knee length spangled green dresses and fleshings. Tho Apache dance of Jack and Jeannette Gold la worked up to after the entrance of Mr. Wolfe and silss Cameron, the flirting with the former by aiiss Gold, as a dower girl from the underworld, and Wolfe's attempted leaving the gardens with) ner, and the appearance of the Apache's sweet- neart (Jack Gold).

Pat White, as Casey. Is a si-room from curtain to curtain. Among the advantageous additions to the cast are Red Feather and Lanier De Wolf. Both are admir- able vocalists, and the latter is a .dancer of un- usual merit. Anns Grant Is with the show again and, ss In former year., contributes much tS tho entertainment wltb her vocal renditions. Alva McGIll was on the dot with looks, votes and acting ability, and installs herself a fsrorite at first sight. For oil of her songs ahe was en- cored repeatedly. Her dresses were one prettier than the other, and in tights she alio loomed up to great adrantage. Martha Edmond bad a line of vivacity that was contagious, and she sang and danced aa a sou- brette of the first water. Another valuable mem- ber to lead numbers and all those allotted to her were good, and railed for repeals. Uutcl Parker, Helolae Hnrton and Beatrice Ls Due did their work In approved fashion, and are strong on looks also. Harvey Greene, a good actor, did the straight in the first act and made good. Although he was ita an effeminate part In the bur- not make It objectionable and . rating on Its account. Albert Shaw and Sam Lee, who hare lately come Into burlesque from rauderllle, make good by their excellent dancing and are valuable mem- bers for parts. The choru. oe- twenty girl, filled the stags nicely with the grand staircase set, and ample lighting and lbs six men In full dress formed the contrast. • The cumbers Included a lively opening chorus, "Father Came Home with the Milkman In the Morning," by Mr. Greene; "What a Wonderful Lovo That Would Be," by Miss Edmond and Mr. Greene; "All He Does Is Follow Them Around." by Shaw and Lee; "At the Ball. That's All," by Martha Edmond snd tbe company. In a great lineup end clever business, of which the audi- ence couldn't get enough; "Aha Daba Honey- moon," with Mlsa Edmond and Sbaw and Lee making monkey business to many recalls; "la the Valley of the Moon," well sung by Mlas Mc- GIll to encores; "Bonnie, My Highland Lassie," by Miss Edmond, st the head of the barelegged Highland lassies, and "When I Come Back," by Mlas Edmond, so It can be seen that Miss Edmond was kept fairly busy. The dresses for all these cumbers were exceptionally fetching. Albert Sbaw anil Sammy Lee opened the olio with their selection of dancing steps, and made a hit with their surprising movements. Suits Moore, Harvey Greene. Beatrice La Dne and Helolse Horton presented Mr. Moore's sketch, "Tbe Self-Made Man." Alva McGIll sang "You May Be the World" and "Sleep, Baby, Sleep." to several encores. The Manhattan Comedy Four, Including a Jew comedian, had harmony on tap, mixed with good comex'.y. They sang "Chattanooga, Tcnn.," 'The Melody Man."' "I Had a Pal," "Game of Love" and "Irish Tango." In the burlesque, Moore had fun-making oppor- tunities as a letter carrier, and Scaiilsn did • life-saver, wearing a fierce black mustache. A' hero was required, and both tried to qualify. At Ibe finish they appear as ridiculously attired Jockeys. Harrey. Greene was Jobnuy Softhead, a "sissy." The numbers showed up Snltx Moore with "How Is Everything by You, All Right " a big hit; "Don't Go Away." by Miss Edmond; "Nobody Tangos Like You Do," by Miss Mc- GIll. and with it, assisted by rsrlous tango couples, also by Miss Edmond and Mr. Shaw, in pretty steps, it looked as If the show would bare to end. There were ten encores at least. "By the Beautiful Sea" was another for Mis* 1M- mond, and Miss Gill finished op with "Dixie," and led tbe final drill with the girls in full tights, whtcb topped off tho show very nicely.
