Address Y ee HAMILTON COMEDIANS, Farmville, N. , The Billboard | : SCENERY MEETING TREND FOR MUSICAL ACTS, SCENE RY 2212: PRODUCERS FIGHT SHY OF SKETCH ° EW YORK, Aug. 31.--The one-act playlet and so-called sketch will go begging for time on the bigger circuits this season unless the material is of an un usual sort, is the edict of the booking men, who are fighting shy of this type of act. The ruling brings “names” from two-a-day when nothing else is in sight, proven by last season’s quota, select a sketch as their vehicle. Only those who qualify for “musical playlets’™ as they might be called, will find it worth their while to tinker with vaudeville this year. The trend for acts with music is already quite marked. That there will be an ample quantity of musical comedy revues and the like is indicated most forcibly by the production this season of such acts by Lewis & Gordon, who in years past have launched more sketches than any other firm and last year probably more than all the rest put together. A plethora of “names” from the legit. came into the two-a-day the past season via this office. Practically all were seen in one-act playlets, written by favorite Lewis & Gordon authors. Out of the acts emerging from their workshop thuy far this season, however, the majority are of a musical nature. A condensed version of The Gingham Girl, the Eddie Buzzell part of which is essayed by Bob Jarvis, is already out. Another offering called The Love Cabin— a musicalized version of John B. Hymer’s sketch Petticoats—is also on its way. It was staged and musicalized by Herman Timberg, who has a vimilar offering entitled Apples, featuring Bert Gordon, which is presented by Timberg in associationwith Lewis & Gordon. Another instance of the musical production activities of the firm is the plan to set to music the Elaine Sterne sketch, Five Minutes From the Station, for a second company, to be headed by Isabelle D’Armond and Lew Hunting. The first company, with Henry ‘Hull, opens this week in the sketch in its original form. A cursory syrvey of the producing field discloses ‘the majority of producers are to stay away from sketches. the dramatic fold who would enter the under the same ban, since sO many, as The Blanchards, who have specialized in “dramatic and comedy playlets, are at present casting two musical revue offerings, written ‘by popular authors. One is The French Lesson, with book and lyrics by McElbert Moore and Edward Lavka and music by J. Fred Coots, and the other is Low Bridge, written by McElbert Moore and Phil Cook. Others are doing likewise. E.. K. Nadel has several revue type of offerings and so has Cc. B. Maddock and Hocky & Green.
