THE NEW oDEoN OPENS.
"The Sunny Side Of Broadway" Comes
As First Attraction,


The informal opening of the New
Odeon in advance of the beginning of
the regular season, took place Satur-
day night with the presentation of 1.-The
Sunny Side of Broadway" a two-act
song show. The announcem of its
coming, despite the fact that the in
terror of the theater has been made
beautiful with new decorations, hang
ings and furniture. attracted no more
than small audience. most of whom
We're on the upper floor.
The Sunny Side of Broadway" was
not exactly a disappoin tment. but ex-
cept for Max Bloom. the Jewish COM
edlan, a few flashes of real comedy.
and one or two meritorious songs, it
came near being so.
The production has no plot worthy
of the name. the chief claim for it be-
ing based in Max Bloom and its mu-
sic. The former is a Hebrew comedian,
far above the average, who, however,
showed a disposition to everyday the
part. Most of the music was rather
ordinary, and the lack of good solo
voices 10 bring it into prominence was
noticeable.
That diminutive section of the chorus
designated as the dancing pippins'
furnished variety and novelty in en-
semble work that added much to the
staging of the production.
One of the really good features OF
the show was the dancing specially by
the Wentz brothers.
Among the better song numbers were
ooh, Mr.. Moon, You're Full Tonight"
I'm Devil" In My New Motor Boat
and Under the Pazaza Plant"
A fair sized audience attended the
matinee performance.
