Fox Reillys Oh You Daddy at the Orpheum
At the Orpheum a number of good voices in Fox Reillys Oh You Daddy for the first half save the production. The chorus is well dressed and the singing is passably good. Two tenor voices a bass voice and a baritone give the men an opportunity to hold up their part. Ernest Linwood the colored servant might help by cutting portions of his speech in the second act. The sule work is above the average. Between acts Pollard a juggler and a Permaine an artist on the concertina entertain. After Wednesday performances the theater will close ten days for interior redecoration. Another musical comedy opens on Easter Sunday.
