The company is called a muBlcal comedy organization, but in reality It can be classed as a light opera show for tho company contains soino ot tho boat talent seen In Ogdcn In a long time. For tho opening bill, The Girl From Panama was selected, and while tho p'ot of the play is not very atrong, still the Btory Is ot sufficient interest inter-est to hold tho ottcnttou of the audience, audi-ence, and It gives the company excellent ex-cellent opportunities to display real talent. There Is not a du't moment during the entire performance und tho merry making la fast and furious. George Ourtou the prlnclp'o comedian, com-edian, was seen us a colored ordorly, who Is mistaken for u king and to Bny that ho captured his audience by hlB wlttlcloms, Ib putting It mildly. Ills song, I'm Lonely Since My Monkey Mon-key Died, will be heurd all over town this week, and Ills parodies gained him four encores. Tommy Uurncs who Ib seen as Dago Cook, who Is much In love, gave a really merltor lous performance und his acrobatic work wub surely funny. Geno Post as tho Boldlor's son wns nt his b,C8t, nnd his Blnglng Is excellent. AsHhc Major, Mr. Whelnn wns true to life. MIbb Mario Rich who pluys tho title role Is u dainty miss, who won the hearts of hor audience at a bound nnd this young ludy Is both pretty and clover. Mujory Mandcvillo us the engaging en-gaging widow- was happy in her part, und when she nppenred in her acrobatic acro-batic and contortion uct Bhc carried the houso by Btorm. Tho act in itself )b a feature. The chorus named on the program, Tho Rosebuds, is well numed und although there uro only eight In numebr they do work that will compare moro than favorable with many of tho best choruses seen In the larger traveling troupcB. The othor good numbers were well rch dcrcd by tho MIsbcs Raymond and Gordon. Tho stage settings and wardrobe ward-robe was especially good und flio show really should not bo mlBBcd. Over five hundred people were turned nwny InBt ulght, unablo to get seats us tho entire house was sold out before 7 o'clock. |
