Show The Only Girl' Isj -. Catchy Farce j at Orpheum P EAR Denver You've got some show coming to your Orpheum theater over there next week, if we Salt Lakers are any good as vaudeville judges. It was a sure cure for blues, business fatigue, fa-tigue, legislative grouches and other mental ailments of the sort. Lots of music, lots of laughs, lots of pep, good dancing, in fact, most everything that makes up a first-class variety show, are offered in generous quantities. Anyone that can't ?et his money's worth over that way this time ought to try solitary confinement for a change. Victor Herbert's tuneful and widely-sung widely-sung ballad, "The Only Girl," furnishes the theme for a delightfully entertaining musical farce, which is in the capable hands of a company of ten. Three members mem-bers of a quartet get married, and the fourth is so indiscreet as to try and entertain en-tertain the newly weds and their wives. Of course, tho fourth chap "falls" himself him-self in tho end, but meantime there are opportunities for a batch of funny lines and situations, and some catchy music. The Four Harmony Kings, aptly sel-styled sel-styled "a symphony in color," compose one of the best negro quartets that has ever appeared locally. Some style to those "culled gem mum" and they can sing and harmonize most satisfactorily. They exhausted their program last night before the house would consent to let them go. Genuine novelty in a dancing act is such a rarity these days ( which is another an-other way of Faying that a. lot of them are bores), that Cleveland Bronner ought to have a medal for producing something new and alluring to the eye. II is gorgeous gor-geous "Dre?ji Fantasies" is a riot of color, enchantingly staged. He is assisted assist-ed by Ingrid Hunter and Loretta Lap ping tonv and the trio certainly' wake up thn.se who usually nap during the last act. "Hector" is the particular star of a ea nine company, ably directed by their trainer. But just the same "Junior" is a worthy '"chip of the old block." and the other dotrs, too, all really deserved more applause than they received. Hector Hec-tor danhes around in the audience in a most amu.siug way, and uses his little head amazingly. Jennings and Mack and their "Camouflaged "Camou-flaged Taxi" have a blackface act that , hit the funny bones in the audience repeatedly re-peatedly and placed them among the : favorites. "William Smythe, a tenor, rendered a : number of favorite songs, ranging from the semiclasslc to the recent popular war songs. i The Lunette sisters opened the bill, dividing their time between dancing and whirling through the air, hanging by their teeth, and doing the usual costume discarding stunts while flying out over the orchestra pit. |
