VARIITY , • ) lO And Already an Established Hit TWILIGHT (FOR HER DADDY OVER THERE,) Mutic by MOE KRAUS Lynn by LEWIS and YOUNG Introduced at The Bushwick by Belle Baker Read SIME'S CRITICISM The Bushere liked the songs, more or leu, end they don't appear to mind "con- ditions," for the house was all filled In, from bottom to top, with the only vacan- cies in the gallery boxes, placed there probably so the management conld count up the house from those spots If It wanted to. Miss Baker Is the headline and came on next to closing, singing her doable octet of numbers after there had been twenty-three songs ahead of her. She is a single woman act. So is Marguerite Farrell, and Ed Morton is a single man tarn, while Bailey and Cowan are a double male act. In the old days that would hare been enough for the head- liner to take to the woods or have some of the conflicting turns go there first. It neither hurt Miss Baker, however, nor affected the applause. After her sixth long she became an applause riot, baring to sing two more bv request, the first of the invitations being "Sweetie," and the Baker act concluding toward 11 o'clock with W. J. Beilly, the sailor-singer, doing "Over There" from a stage box upon Miss Baker discovering him there. That alxth number of Miss Baker's, though, was the big noise. It Is a new ballad, written by Lewis and Young (words) and M. Kay Jerome (music) and sung for the first time on any stage Tuesday matinee by Miss Baker. It Is called "A Baby's Prayer at Twilight for Its Daddy Over There," a peculiarly sym- pathetic song with a brilliant lyric and a beautiful melody. There are a couple of throat throbs in this very responsive number, and It sounds like the best war ballad of the year, one of those quick hits. Miss Baker sang another war num- ber ahead of U, about "One Million Heroes," and started off exceeding the applause speed limit through her first three numbers, each a corker, written by Blanche Merrill. Miss Baker is always improving in her delivery of songs. That ia rather remarkable, since her delivery has always commenced where most of the others left off.
