A bucolic four act sketch by Lawrence Russell is staged at Third Avenue theater. The cast, led by Russell as a shrewd backwoods congressman, delivers natural portrayals and a wholesome plot. The mayor’s comic exit and the couple Alice Thatcher and Daniels provide satisfying climaxes.
A committee of newspaper men will pick the play title from audience suggestions during the engagement ending Wednesday night. The winner receives 26 dollars.
The Grand presented The Girl From Dixie a tweener musical comedy by Harry B. Smith last night. Scenes moved from an Maryland school to a girls seminary and a society function with bright costumes and strong choruses. The libretto is fair and humor uneven, but most songs are new and the chorus work is effective. Beatrice Bronte stands out among the chorus, and the soap bubble gag pleases. Ed Redmond stars in Lost and Won at the Alcasar, delivering Irish flair as Michael Casey alongside Clyde Granger in the villain role. The stock company promises a touching serio comic piece likely to be popular, with Ed Redmond and Meta Maraky delivering the Irish element and Garna Virden adding clever specialty work. The show runs through Thursday.
The Casino Company presented two musical travesties at the Beattle last evening. Hurley Burley opened the program with witty dances and no plot, followed by the one act burlesque A Royal Family. The principals perform with growing advantage, keeping audiences engaged throughout. Sydney DeGrey stars among strong performances.
The weeklong engagement features a rich baritone voice and a lively chorus with Lou Harlow as the prima donna.
