THE SILVER SLIPPER" TO-MOR-
ROW NIGHT.
At the Hyperion tomorrow night
John C. Fisher will present for the first
time in America Owen Hall and Leslie
Stuart's latest London musical success,
The Silver Slipper"
The dialogue of THE Silver Slipper
will be found bright, witty and clean,
the chief comedy parts being interpret
ed by Sam Bernard, Miss Josie Sadler
and Snitz Edwards. The part Of
Wrenne will be played by Edna Wal
lace Hopper, than whom no daintier ac-
tress ever trod the boards. and the part
of Berkeley, with whom she is in love,
will be interpreted by Cyril Scott,
whom every one who saw "FlorodOra"
will remember as THE Military Man"
of that tuneful musical play.
In THE Silver Slipper" there are
twenty-five musical numbers, each one
better than the first. Leslie Stuart,
who wrote the music, has little love for
a direct simple rhythm that finds its
appointed end where the majority of
composers would have ended it. On the
contrary, he revels in a complicated
measure. His tunes romp merrily
along, at times giving the ear a hard
time to keep pace with their tricks and
turns, as all who saw "Florodora" and
remember the TELL Me Pretty Maiden"
sextette song, with its quaint irregular
ryhthm, will attest. There is also a
sextette song in "The Silver Slipper"
and there is also tenor solo sung by
Mackenzie Gordon. the leading soloist
of Vanderbilt's church, st. Bartholo-
mek's. in New York. This song is en-
titled 1.-TWO Eyes of Blue" and will
more than favorably compare with the
solo of "Florodora," 1.-THE Shade of the
Palms." Both will have to be heard to
be appreciated. .
Mr.. Gordon Is better known as a con-
cert and church singer than he is on the
lyric stage, this being practically his
first appearance as professional. In
1.-THE Silver Slipper there are three
sextettes-"The Venus Girls' Sextette,"
1.-THE Students Girls and 1.-THE Eng
lish Dancing Girls" who appear in a
pantomime entitled 1.-THE Champagne
Dance" which will easily be the sensa-
ton of the new play, as the pretty
Maidens'' was the surprise of the old.
1.-THE Song of the Venus Girls" sex
tette is entitled Come, Little Girl, and
Tell Me Truly" and was undoubtedly
fashioned after the "F'lorodora" sex
tette, but is similar to that one in only
one respect--it Is performed by six
young women-the Misses Daisy Green,
Gertrude Douglass, Margaret Walker,
Alice Toland, Marjorie Relyea and Ma
rie Allen-and six young men. There
the similarity ends. The music, while
not as tricky and elusive as that of the
Pretty Maidens" song is Just as
quaint and irregular and will prove
quite as catchy. The dance is far pref
tier and will In way remind every one
who sees it of the minuet of old.
The songs of Edna Wallace Hopper
are bound to score. The one ballad
sung by her and a chorus of fourteen
young women is entitled THE Baby
With the Dimple and the Smile,'' and
will be whistled after the performance.
The song -Four and Twenty Little
Men" will have to be seen and heard to
be appreciated. The little actress sings
to twenty-four men seated on the stage.
The tune is rollicking one, with just
a suspicion of "ragtime" running
through it.
Cyril Scott's songs are Fun on Mo-
tor" 1.-THE Detrimental Man" and "She
Didn't Know Enough About the Game"
In each one he is assisted by the entire
chorus. 1.-THE Detrimental Man" is a
snappy march song and will be good
successor to THE Military Man"
The songs that Connie Ediss made IA
nous in the London production will be
part of an English slavey, and are en-
titled "Class" and Good Behavior"
Sam Bernard, who plays the leading
comedy role, that of Henry Bismarck
Menschs, Snowman and card sharp, has
no sing to sing although he has a good
voice. What the part lacks in music is
made up for in the comedy and bright
wit of Clay M. Greene. who arranged
Owen Halls book for this country. Ber-
nard is unquestionably the peer of all
German comedians, and though he has
scored many successes, in the part of
Menschs he is bound to score the big
gest success of his life. Snitz Edwards,
the astronomer of "The Silver Slipper"
has one song that follows the opening
chorus entitled ''To-night's the Night"
There are other songs in 1.-THE Silver
Slipper" and it will be found to be just
bubbling over with the catchy music
which none but Leslie Stuart can pen
The company includes Sam Bernard
Snitz Edwards, Cyril Scott Mackenzie
Gordon, Harry Burcher, Josie Sadler
Mai de Villiero, Helen Royton. Susan
Drake, Daisy Green and Edna Wallace
Hopper.
