Transplanted from the dairy columns of The Tribune to the stag,, of the Colonial Colo-nial theatre. Mutt and Jeff are Just as funny In life a they are. in Bud Fisher's Fish-er's famous cartoons cartoons that have made millions laugh, f-nd which are making the thousands of readers of The Tribune laugh every morning. Mutt and Jeff on tho stape are the big laugh t'na.t th'v are in tho Fisher dm witir.. No show that has been seen in Salt T-.-i.lto for many and tnativ a day so tlioroughly pleased the audiences lhat :.itt It n.o did Mutt and Jeff at. its two first performances yesterday. The bouse was crowded last night and the people Who raw the antics of tho, grOtCSQUe characters enjoyed them Immensely. Sedley Brown and George Beach, who T-jke tha parts t Mutt and Jeff, are ;t scream. TVioy have given the most exact .-11101111011 to the make-up of Flsh-er'a Flsh-er'a 'heroes" and to their postures in every particular they have hit It off with an amazing precision. Brown la built on the iinoM of the attenuated Mutt and Beach is just sawed oil .i the proper point on the. yardstick to mako a period per-iod Jeff. The attire of tho two la "true to nature" and their facial expression Is U8t as though it had been taken from a cop..- of The Tribune. That Brown and Beach hnvo faithfully studied the Fisher types with an exhaustive attention atten-tion to detail Is amplv proved by their appearance and their work Nothing could be funnier than lin-Situations lin-Situations written for Mull and Jeff in the show that, mode auch a hit --terday. --terday. All sons i trouble Ik arranged for then, nr,d th ,- plunge 'Aoadlong Into it and extricate themselves with a hundred hun-dred ludicrous attempts to recover their already doubtful social equilibrium The costumes designed for the lanky Mutt and the abbreviated Jeff are a shuv. Iii theniselven. in addition to troubles -r Mutt an.i Jeff prepared for them by the author of 'the piece. Mutt had his own reaJ troubles j last night when his exaggerated nose came dangerously close to detaching It-. It-. self from his face The added cnlunele-I cnlunele-I ment offered by -Mutt's unrulj nose, however, how-ever, added rather tlian detracted from the aci as written. But the BhOw Is not written for Mutl and Jeff alone. There are numberless good things in the production besides the two characters built on the Flsnei pictures, pic-tures, There Is as much of n plot as there usually In to a comic opera, and tins Is followed out faithfully to Its ultimate ulti-mate destiny, when everybody that wants to, gets married, and everybody thai doesn't remains sing). The music is catch? and the singing is e-A.'olVni T'rst mention in n. vocal way is due Miss Violet Stoley, who has a beautiful voice and uses It to distinct advantage She was especially pleasing in the last act, when she sans an ai -trancing song, "The Spanish Moon." Tn the first act Miss Stalcv sang the solo, Each uno Must Love. It was a fine effoi t. Miss r::i tic Barnell and .Miss Manoltta stetson are soirette. of the bewitching typ,-. B,,fh are happily e:Lst for ihe parts they take, and their singing ia exceptionally excep-tionally good Miss Mayme Taylor, as him lady who falls in love with Mutt Is ludicrously funny, Robert Blllotl sings In a fine baritone and Harry R. Uoyt sings- a good tenor, '.lad finger also phases In his numbers The chorus i -omposed of handsome young women with good voices. Thev wear stunning gowns, a sight of which is In il self worth the juice of admission The piece is produced wth elaborate scenic effects There are throe scenes and each is a corgeous setting TIim business' Is all new and original It Is designed especially for the show. Tho Paraphernalia used bv Mutt and .Toff in thou- numerous appearances is skillfully put together and is worked with a snap The dialogue between these two principals prin-cipals Is full of topical lines. "Muti. and Jeff" is a rare musical comedy com-edy 11 has all the elements that enter into the building of a show- whose sole aim Is to please. The laugh is continuous continu-ous from beginning to end and the music mu-sic is ;lWay and far beyond the music 01 a. large majority of comic onoras Hie company that puts on the show i excellent, and tins can Be truthfully said pi tne minor characters as well as of hose who make the head and front of the production "Mutl and Jeff will ,-un at the Colonial Co-lonial until and Including Wednesday night, with a matinee Wednesday afternoon. after-noon. iner iLJ? :'- who'me 6li and should attract big audiences at every perform-ance. perform-ance.
