THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW
3
The Fleet Song
The coming of the formidable fleet of battleships to the Coast inspired Oliver Morosco, the versatile Los Angeles manager, and Joseph Montrose to compose a song that would reflect the romance and sentiment entertained for the fleet. The song is called My Yankee Sailor Boy and has been a tremendous success. The words are by Mr. Morosco, the music by Mr. Montrose. Five thousand copies have been sold in . Los Angeles in two weeks. The schools have taken it up there and in San Diego, and also the newspapers, and have made it the fleet song. All others have been turned down, and a most unusual compliment has been paid the authors. The song was the hit of A Milk White Flag production at Mr. Morosco's Burbank Theatre for two weeks.
Alisky Simply Reorganized
Charley Alisky writes to The Dramatic Review that his recent reorganization of his San Jose company was not at all in the nature of a closing. Bertha Crcighton gave way to Ethel Roberts in leads, and Charlie Gunn will still play the male leads. W. W. and Florence Craig will still be members of the company. Mr. Craig will continue his very successful directing, and Al Hallett will be the new heavy man.
Francis Wilson will play his first" engagement in San Francisco in over a dozen years when he comes to the Van Ness Theatre with his newest comedy success, When Knights Were Bold.
