San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

12 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW November 13, 1909 Victor Moore Victor Moore, who scored a tremendous success in George M. Cohan's musical play, The Talk of New York, is announced to appear in this brilliant musical comedy at the Van Ness Theatre next week. Mr. Moore as Kid Burns, the race track gambler, is said to have a line of talk that is startling. The role is a continuation of the one in Forty Five Minutes from Broadway, and brings the Kid forward as a highly successful race track gambler. The story, briefly told, is this: The Kid has "parleyed" a five dollar bill, and, by pyramiding his bets, has run it into a fortune. He falls in love with the daughter of a millionaire, and encounters all sorts of difficulties before winning her. There is said to be a fascinating "villainness" who sneaks her way in and out of the plot, dressed most fetchingly, and who, exercising her feminine prerogative. suddenly changes her mind and becomes distressingly good. Mr. Cohan is said to have given The Talk of New York many of his best songs, among them being. Follow Your Uncle Dudley, Put a Little Bet Down for Me, Mr. Burns of New Rochelle, When We are M a Double R-I-E-D, Burning Up the Boulevard, Busy Little Broadway, When a Fellow's On the Level W ith a Girl That's On the Square, Tha's Some Love, Claremont, Drink With Me, Under Any Old Flag At All, and Gee, Ain't I Glad to Be Home Again. In the big company supporting Mr. Moore are the following: Emma Littlefield, Mae Phelps, Charlotte Lambert, Louise Brackett, Charlotte Gray, Dell Irish, Marion l inley, Marie Land, George O'Donnell, John Conroy, William A. Williams, Jo Smith Marba. Maurice Elliott; Arthur V . Gibson, Al McGary, Arthur J. Thornton, Edward Yeager, Charles Mack, George Thomas, and a perfect Cohan chorus of sixty. Princess Theatre Kolb and Dill will have another new production for next week, when they will present The Rich Mr. Hogenheimer. The piece has been reconstructed to fit the requirements of the two comedians. It is expected that The Rich Mr. Hogenheimer will equal the success of Dream City, which played to capacity houses for a month. Meantime The Politicians is drawing big audiences. It will be given its last performance on Sunday night.
