"A Hot Scotch Major" comes tc
Grand Opera House on August 80
There is a certain subtle originality to
the comedy, a certain airy atmosphere
that is often strlven for but seldom at
tanned. The entire piece goes with a
vim. There is a sparkle and snap TO il
that pleases everybody, and sends the
most blase theatre goers away with
that delightful sensation of having been
actually amused. The costumes are
artistic and consequently harmonious,
and the beautiful and complete scenic
mounting of the comedy has been freely
commented on as being a marvel OF
technique and brilliant c0loTing. Will
liam Gin has written the book, George
Totten Smith the lyrics, and Harry
Won Tilzer has composed the many
tuneful airs and dashing Choruses
which intersperse the piece wherever
good judgment says is permissible.
