"The Red Min-n

One Of the cleverest Of the musical
comedy entertainments that have visited
Washington this season was The Red
MIL, which literally packed people into
the National Thcater at each performance
last week. Seats were at a premium all
the time, thus showing that the theater-
goers Of Washington are quick 10 recog-
nize and instant to patronize the best
when they can set it,
In "The Red AIill' much IS owing TO
Mr., Henry Blossom, that clever young
man who first won recognition through
a series Of literary sketches done in pic
turesquo slang. These got him out of the
regular rut Of newspaper work and gave
him leisure to look about for his real
meter One of the best of his sketches.
Checkers " was made into a successful
play and the play won fame for Thomas
Ross as star. The play was offered to
Willie Collier. but he could not "see it,"
and TO his chagrin let go Of a theatrical
opportunity that would have made him a
fortune. Then Blossom drifted into writ
ing exclusively Tor the stage, and after
his big success with Mile. Modiste" he
went TO work to build a musical comedy
around the peculiar talents and UNIQUE
abilities of Fred Stone and Dave Mont
gomery both Of whom had wrung the
tribute OF laughter from thousands bv
their clever work in THE Wizard Of Or
That he succeeded in suiting them ad-
mirably a visit 10 the National during the
past week would amply have proved.
The show is bright original. well con
slructed, and it gives the principal come
dians fine opportunities. OF course. in
Con Kidder, the American in Holland
played by Fred Stone, one can often
catch a glimpse Of the good old Scare
crow. and more than once as Kid Conner
ia on the stage in the person of Dave
Montgomery you can imagine that YOU
hear the armor of the Tin Woodman rat
tling. Bat after an this is only because
these two players have such dominant
personalities, Each is clever III his own
way and each Is an admirable foil to the
