of it is most marked. Miss Harris has
a career before her She is quite a
young woman and is only at the out
set of her career.
The company is making hit, and
all audiences are delighted. Ihe
Greensboro Telegram, speaking of the
big audience in Greensboro on Satur-
day night says that the performance
pleased all and kept the audience in
continuous laughter. It's comment IS
as follows:
Miss Bob White at the Grand last
night was the type of show that most
pleases those who go to the theatre
for pure amusement In other words,
it was comic opera with the stress on
the comic rather than on the opera,
and it turned laughter to tears through
sheer excess of amusement, winning
plaudts from a large and enthusiastic
audience, which entirely forgot to no
tice whether or not the piece had any
merit musically.
Miss Mae Phelps. who took the
leading part of Miss Rob White is a
bright commedienne with a sweet
voice and an attractive personality.
and she fully deserved the large share
of applause which she received. There
were other parts we'll taken and sung.
Miss Zelda ROtali, as Goldenrod, ana
Miss Zilah Harris, as Miss Liveinthe-
past Autumn, receiving their full share
of applause.
''There were several interpretations
from Willard Sponsors other operas
The Little Tycoon and Princess Bon
ME- The setting was good, the nrst
scene being particularly so.
The costuming was satisfactory
and in all there was nothing that did
not please the large audience.
