"Nancy Brown" at the Jefferson.

Scintillating with merry humor, set off by prety girls and elegant scenery, Nancy Brown" came to town last night in a blaze of color. Marie Cshill was Nancy. She brought along her smile, her wink and her infantile ways so that there was nothing left for the audience to desire. Miss Cahill is funny after her own fashion and is so successful in win ming favor that after her first song the large audience at the Jefferson could not hear her often enough. She sings a coon song in an inmitable way with voice that is not strong. but sweet and pleas ing-a voice that creeps into favor with the singing and grows on one after it's notes have ceased to be heard.
 Miss Cahill also has a quiet unexpect- ed way of introducing a joke that never fails to bring results. Her gowns were stunning of course, and 1t may be added that her smile was not at all dispeasing. but 1t was by her coon songs and her demure fun that she captured the fancy of all.
 There was not much plot to Nancy Brown If there was the audience made no complaint. There seemed to be two princes, one real and the other a sham
 
 monarch, or bey of Ballyhoo as he was called, was also fraud, but he man. aged to hold his job. Nancy Brown is a marriage broker who comes to Ballyhoo in search of a title in exchange for sup- posed wealth and after a series of en- tertaining adventures wins the real crown prince of the land after distracting the bey and several others who happen to be around. The extremely weak plot serv- ad ac fraf fop pVunrk ahpttt which tO a number of pretty songs, rendered with capital chorus effects and a medley of jokes that sounded new.
 There were several very clever com edians who were only clever in spots however, and had scant opportunities to show whether they were really funny Miss Cahill attended to the laugh pro- ducng business so well that there was little need for anyone else to work very hard. However Count Frontage De Brie the energetic Frenchman; Noah Little agent for substitute firm and after wards a substitute prince; Socrates Finis chairman of the board of strategy, and Mara Mustapha, the crown prince of Balyhoo, a land that is not on the map, were all amusing in their various ways. MT. Steger, the crown prince, has a good tenor voice and sang several songs most acceptably. MT. Roy Atwel as Vanderhyphen Jenks, an only son, was also clever.
 Several catchy musical numbers were rendered with enough dash and pretty femininity to make them deserve an en- core Miss Cahill sang You Can't Fool All the People All the Time,' with the addition of few smiles and wink or two as that tuneful travesty has seldom been sung before. "The Katydid, the Cricket and the Frog was also heartily encored "A Little Birdy Told Me So," 'I could be Happy with Either One' and Come Fill Your Glass and Drink With Me-" completed the musical gems of the
