many signs Of the improved touch OF the
writer's of The Time, the Place and the
Girl and THE Girl Question" opened a
two days engagement Friday evening, and
there was scarcely a moment when the
large audience was not laughing at the fun
or enjoying the songs. There is consider
able vocal talent incorporated in the COM
pany, several fun creators and enough of
chorus, scenery and costumes to give the
production a vim and go that pleases every
body from gallery to parquet.
in the role of Perkins, the advertising
manager for Barlow's Boston Beans, Harry
Stone does some clever work, managing
to keep things bubbling most of the time,
while Bert Baker as Dennis Mason, the
manufactures of Mason's Canned Beans,
also holds up his part Of the comedy I'm a
way that is refreshing. The other players
having the principal parts are mostly sing
ers and present a number of the late songs
with renewed charm, among the favorite
pieces being You Can't Be a Friend to
Everybody Nothing to DC But Moth

Alma Youlin, who will be remembered as
one of the leading singers in Coming
Through the Rye two years ago, has a
good voice and sings several numbers that
were well received. Her work showed up
even better than 1t did when she visited
Omaha two years go. Dorothy Bremen
in the part of Mason's stepdaughter, one
of the leading roles, seemed to please with
her petite ways and sweet voice, while in
several singing and graceful dancing num-
bers Olive Vail won recognition.
A number of novel choruses are intro
duced and prove exceedingly popular. In
the first act the chorus for one of the
songs has large cubes which are used to
build up the faces Of Roosevelt and Taft,
while the choruses for other songs are
dressed as office boys, scrub women,
chambermaids and porters, or chickens, or
brownies
Some stunning gowns are worn by the
women of the company. Matinee and even
women of the company.
