pleased to learn that George Aces IA
nous musical comedy Peggy from
Paris" is to be presented here Satur-
day night. Peggy from Paris has
achieved one of the most pronounced
succC sscs ever attained by musical
play. 1t has record of a four
months run i'm New York, five months
in Boston and three in Chicago. It
was praised without stint. both
critics and public uniting in sounding
its merits. Naturally, wit. satire,
humor and merrimcnt are striking elc-
ments in the book and lyrics. for they
are the work of George AIDE. than
whom no American humorist has been
more widely read or more thoroughly
enjoyed. Many of the musical num-
bors have become the popular airs ~
New York, Boston and Chicago ana
OTHER cities in which Peggy from
Paris" has been heard. Among the
musical hits are: "Emmelecn, Col
legc Days "'The Girl Who Comes In

T.i. Ike You" They are spirited.
swinging and catchy. Indeed, this
musical comedy surpasses many
another play of its kind in the number
and 1ttractiveness Of IFS ensembles
The choruses are sung to the accom-
paniment Of graceful and fanciful
dancing so that life and grace ana
animation are blended with the melo-
dies. The company which will appear
in peggy from Paris" is one of the
best ever organized for musical COM
