greatest hit of his long stage
Mr.. Savage has provided a beautiful
production as the vehicle for his star
and has surrounded him with an ex-
ceptionally talented company. The
efforts of the producer and his play
ers have made John Kendrick Bangs,
Vincent Bryan and Manuel Klein's
fanciful music play a positive sue
sess. For daintiness and originality
there is nothing in New York that
surpasses it. 1t is original in its con-
ception, full of comic situations and
bright music and is presented with a
snap and ash which makes it wonder
fully captivating as an evenings
light entertainment. Helen Hale, the
pretty little s%oubrette about whom SO
much has been written in the press,

Actor MeconnsIrs wiz.


The late William Mcconnell was
one Of the greatest Theatrical jokers
OF his time
Augustus Thomas wrote a part for
Mcconnell In the short lived Cham
payne Charley" He had not been ON
the stage for years, and it was thought
that his characteristic humor might
be amusing in the theater.
That assumption proved incorrect,
and Mcconnell retired from the show
before its crush. Then a vaudeville
sketch called "The Editor" was writ
ten fer him. and he tried that for two
weeks.
"Vaudevlle's all right, I suppose
he said a%fterward, but it didn't agree
with me"
what was wrong2" asked one Of
his friends.
"Well. I began in Chicago in a roof
garden on top of a sixteen story sky
scraper. The next week I went 10 St
Louis and played in Uhrig's Cave.
Could you beat anything like that? As
/ said, think vaudeville is all right,
but l could not stand the sudden
changes in the climate. Washington
