Big Audience Witnesses 1.-THE Beauty

Big Audience Witnesses "The Beauty

A brilliant audience, and one that
practically filed the odeon. witnessed
Tuesday night the clever musical play
by Joseph ". Herbert and Reginald
Dehoven, The Beauty Spot" as given
by Jefferson DE Angels and a. cast con-
tanning several stars and principals,
besides a chorus that was in keeping
with the high order of the production
1t has been long time since a must
cal play has afforded so much good
music as did The Beauty Spot" In
stead of one sometimes good, but more
often only passalole, voice, there were
several that could be rightfully classed
as better than the average, and two
that proved real treats. George j. Mac
Farlanes numbers We're the hit of the
evening, and his romance, Creole
Days. with an accompaniment of a
male quartet, was truly artistic. Viola
Gillette, prima donna, also has Won
derfully pleasing voice, and with the
Boys" to the delight of all the music
lovers in the audience
If there had been nothing more in
voice the admission price would have
been compensated, but there WAS more.
There was a mingling of almost every
variety of modern stage life-the
scenic, the extravaganza, a touch of
minstrelsy, bright comedy, clever dia-
logue, a plot, and a good chorus. This
combination in itself was pleasing, and
even more SO with the good solo voices
added.
Paris is chosen as the scene of action
for The Beauty Spot and the story
centers about General Samovar, of the
Russian legation, VINO has married as
his second wife Nichette, a former ac-

Baccarel arrives at the legation with

general Immediately assumes that Bac-
carel is his nephew, and the negro is a
native of Borneo, and of royal blood
1t is planned by Nadine that Baccarel
shall assume to be her cousin, Nikolas,
and Nikolas consents to pose as Bac-
carel. This arrangement naturally
complexities matters and furnishes the
many humorous situations. Finally
Baron Lecocq, a detective, who has de-

identity, also a life-size picture of Nj
cllette, which the latter and Baccarel
are trying to keep from Salnovar. The
picture is in the nude, and mole ON
Nichette's knee is portrayed. When
Lecocq confides to Sanovar that his
wife has a mole on her knee the old
general becomes enraged and accuses
his wife with infidelitN. Samovar de-
mands to see the picture, which Lecocq
insists was the source of his informa

busy with their brushes, and transform
the picture to figure properly clothed,

sides. Baccarel is united with Nadine.
and Nikolas claims his little jungle
