Show THE CITIZEN We will have It with us at the Sail Lake theatre next week. We had it ft ' here last year. I hope well have it again next year .and the next. For you can sing and whistle the Irene stuff in fact, you cant help singing and whistling it. And that is what makes a good msuical comedy turn up its aristocratic nose at a mere gold mine or an oil well. In the beginning Irene was own . ed by James Montgomery, the author. Carle Carleton, a motion picture promoter, and Joseph Moran, the owner of the Vanderbilt theatre in New York. Subsequently carleton was bought out by Montgomery, and today it is understood that the play is owned two-thirby Montgomery an.1 one-thr-d by Moran. Be that as it may, it- is one of the greatest money-maker- s of the present theatrical gen- eration. The engagement at the Vanderbilt theatre, New York, began on Novem ds " - ber 18, 1919. The play was produced at the Empire theatre in London on April 5, 1920, and soon afterward by three additional companies in the English provinces. By this time it had been well through Soctland and Ireland. At about the same time rights were sold for the presentation of the play in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Auckland, Capetown, Johannesburg, and other cities have also been played. In May, 1920, preparations were begun for the organiza-to- n of three additional companies to tour America. In June and July rights were sold for Irene in Sweden, India and certain parts of South America, Singapore Bombay, Calcutta, Rio Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and other cities have had long engagements of Irene, and in January the fifteenth production was planned for with the disposal of the rights for a presentation in Budapest. And, not satisfied with this, Montgomery is writing a new msuical comedy in which he proposes to star Dale Winter, who has so long played the title role in Irene. Wonder if he wants all the money there is in the world!
