In the four acts of Nam selle Napo-
leon" as presented by Anna Held and
her people last evening at the Column
bia Theater there is sufficient of the
most popular elements of so-called
musical comedy TO satisfy the most ex-
acting admirer of that class of enter
tainment The dramatic situations run
the gamut from lofty tragedy to &c
centric comedy. the music embraces
everything from plagiarized oratorio TO
interpolated ragtime, both inclusive
and the stage pictures are marvels Of
luxurious scenic art. As musical COM
edy is a commonly accepted synonym
for incongruity. the less said about the
story. its mode of narration and it's ap-
propriateness of illustration the better.
But. taken either in sections or its en-
tirety. "Mam'selle Napoleon" is very
far ahead in both quantity and quality
of the best of its species that preceded
1t on the same stage. In comparison it
reduces the luster of "A Chinese
Honeymoon to the illumination afford
ed by a tallow dip, and it takes all the
sheen off "The Silver Slipper" Even
the big Weber Fields show, that did
such tremendous business for two
Weeks dl lIE NOulu
appear a paltry affair if stacked up
against 'Mam'selle Napoleon"
Briefly told. the tale revolves around
a Partisan actress that loves an officer
of NapoIeon's favorite guards. This at
tachment is utilized by the Minister Of
Police to promote one of his political
tricks, and in the development of the
sub-plot quite a number of famous his
torical personages. including the great
little Corsican himself, are introduced
Much of the original conference Of the
tale has been ignored in the American
translation-or at least the Anna Held
production-and inference is taxed to
connect the remaining glimpses. But
the costumery and the upholstery have
been left intact, and there are other
things than the story TO engage the in
terest of the average witness. Chief of
them is Miss Held herself.
The dainty little woman is very
much in evidence throughout the piece,
and her magnetism never wanes for an
instant. Her delicious accent In song
or speech is no more expressive than
her eloquent eyes or her sinuous
shrugs. and her art is accentuated by
the mediocrity of her supporting prin-
cipals of her own sex. Handsome wo-
men they are. all of them, and they
display their physical graces to the
very best advantage, but there is not
an artist among them. The petite
stars body guard of twelve tall and
shapely show girls is a sight in it
self worth going TO see, and OCCASION
ally a young woman Steps out of the
chorus and does something clever in a
terpsichorean way, but the vocal side
of the production is neither fair nor
middling.
Frank Rushworth looks we'll and
acts nicely as the soldier lover, and Ar
thur Lawre-sce makes up realistically
as Bonaparte and faithfully follows the
traditional gestures of that celebrated
man. Comedian Joe Herbert skaters
the Partisan atmosphere by American
izing all the humor allotted to him and
introducing a great deal of stuff that
is not to be found in French literature.
