The RoIIIekina Girl

THE Rolcking Girl Is one of the most
satisfying musical shows that has visited
Birmingham this season. 1t is elabo-
rately staged, it is tuneful and 1t is rich
in comedy. A metropolitan production
was promised and for once the promise
was fulfilled. The company was large and
the performance the sort that is often
heralded in advance but does not material
lie when the curtain goes up.
By many critics Sam Bernard is con-
sidered the leader in German dialect COM
edy. The fact that this style of COM
edy has been ill-used by comedians of
Indifferent worth and Is rapidly losing It's
former prestige makes the success of
Sam Bernard all the more remarkable

is genuinely funny. Mr.. Bernard Is not
amusing at times. but continuously
When he is on the stage the audience is
laughing all the time. The manner in
which the house last night responded to
the comedians efforts was cordial in the
extreme. Everybody laughed everybody
enjoyed himself and THE Rolliclxing Girlr
was voted one OF the best attractions OF
the year.
While Sam Bernard is himself the cen
trail, scintillating star, fascinating Hattie
Williams must not be overlooked, nor sew
eral others whose cleverness contributed
in no small degree to the enjoyment of
tn performance. Miss Williams is a
woman OF rare magnetism and charm;
she is older now than she used to be-
a natural sequance--but she has lost none
of her art and her very presence ea
the stage is a pleasure. Willard Simrns
introduced some extremely clever vaude-
Vile speclaties and was entertaining in
rather difficult role. Miss Yinie Daily
danced gracefully and proved herself an
entertaining soubrette The minor prin-
eipals were satisfactory and the chorus
well drilled, The company was one of the
largest that has visited Birmingham this
season, and a great variety of costumes
contributed to the effectiveness of some
attractive stage pictures.
