There is a H jl j part for everyone, there are songs for every- H If ' one, and for every performance from the H packed matinee last Saturday to the finish H ' Wednesday night there was a hit for every- HfjH one to make, and the opportunities were Hfli used to their best advantage. H'lB Miss Ferrin as Verve deserves special Hffl compilment. The part is the cleaverest H m, thing she has ever done and her singing was H m charming. IHI Popular Emma Lucy Gates as Yvette H m san& ier wav an ovaion. She was heard HRk! at lier est in tlie "Bil'd Song." And Johnny US'! Spencer we pause to ask why he didn't HHW leave us for the professional stage long ago. RHkI That is his place, this real star of very com- HHJ ical comic opera. (HKH ; Mr. G od da I'd has less to do than in nHH previous productions, but made a tremen- !! dous hit in his "Friends'" song. HHR Mr. Pyper was splendid as Francois. He sang beautifully and his acting was easy and natural. The other members of the cast did well and the chorus was particularly good. |
