NEBER'S NEW PLAY
PARTIAL SUCCESS
Chorus and
Good Company, But Stars
Part Not Rich.

Joe Weber and mis- company opened
the Belasco last night WITH Hip, Hip
Hoorayi" a musical hodge-Podge having
to do Win college life Nearly all the
principals in the cast had better parts
and better lines than fell to the lot OF
Weber, the star of the piece, and this
is a matter for regret. as win be easily
realized by those who saw this genu-
inely funny man in About Town" last
season.
In the company is about the prcttiest
lot OF girls ever brought to Washington
as chorus. The costumes are elabo-
rate. and the stage settings are such
as to- call forth the applause OF the
audience. But there is an awkward
ness in the movement OF the riece,
which may be partially accounted for
by the lack Of practice in the new pro
duction, and there is the continual dis
appointment OF not seeing Weber on the
stage very often OF very long.
In fact, the casual observer would
think the piece had been put on to fea-
ture Harry Tighe. Amelia Stone, and
VaIeska Suratt. These three do almost
all the comedy work and practically all
the singing that is popular with the
audience. The music, which is by Gus
Edwards. Is not Of the WHISKY kind.
but there are several funny songs. and
one or two beautiful choruses.
The story OF Hip! Hip, Hooray!' Is
taken up with the story OF the life at

Charley Horsley, played by Harry

Valeska Suratt and Amelia stone d.
vide the stellar honors Of the piece.
Miss stone pretty and winsome, with
her songs. and Miss Suratt by her statu-
esoue beauty ana her limitations IN the
song "Old Friends" The songs that were
liked by the audience were what the

Girls" by william Gould. who does

lines. but he hasn't enough 70 do, nor
does the piece afford him worthy opPor-
tunities. Burkhardt plays opposite him.
