era written by Sydney Rosenfeld, the
translator of. AT the White Horse ,Tav-
ern' and most of the late Roland
Reeds plays. The music is by A. Bald
win Sloane. Unlike most of the recent
musical plays, it has a we'll sustained
plot and so combines the suspense of
dramatic interest with laughing COM
edy situations. The composer of the
music, Mr.. Sloane, was also identified
in conspicuous manner with such we'll
known metropolitan successes as Jack
and the Beanstalk," THE Liberty
Bellies, 1.-THE Hall of Fame THE
Kings Carnival" Broadway to Toxic"
and others, and the score of 1.-THE
Mocking Bird is said to fairly overflow
with tuneful melodies ranging from the
lightest and merriest to the most deep
ly stirring.
Miss Gilman will be supported by an
exceptionally strong company of New
York favorities, including Frank Doane,
a very clever comedian; Sydney Deane,
the original Abercoed of "Florodora; ="
Edgar Atchison-E Ely, the finer singer of
serio-comic songs; Maude Alice Kelley,
Robert Rogers, Louise Macintosh and
Walter Shannon, an unusually fine bar
itone. The chorus is said to be remark
able both for it's beauty and its we'll
trained voice. Miss Gilman created the
leading roles in New York in such we'll
known musical comedies as 1.-THE Run
away Girl" THE Geisha,'' 1.-THE Hall
of Fame" and THE Casino Girl" Be-
sides a wonderfully sweet voice, she
possesses one of the daintiest and most
refined personalities on the stage, Seats
