A Gay Musician 7 Charms Summer Audiences
The revue features Percival as composer with a light pleasing voice despite a difficult French dialect and a forceful exploder in dialogue. Miss Stone leads as prima donna with fatalist air while Miss Sophia Brandt charms in both presence and singing. Several chorus members show potential though some lack acting strength. Olga von Hatzfeld improves but is limited in a salon dance. The overall show promises to attract summer crowds.
