"THE TALK OF NEW YORK"

A musical comedy that is good en-
tertainment from curtain to curtain is
The Talk Of New York" seen at the
Salt Lake theatre last night. Victor
Moore is starring in this one of George
NJ. tOhans plays, and as Kid Burns ne
made a tremendous hit. His songs and
his slang took so we'll with the audi
ence that he was called back again
and again, and at the end of the third
act he made a speech in the true Conan
manner.
Kid Burns is the character that is
so well remembered in "FOrty-Five
Minutes From Broadway" and the
present play is in sense sequel TO
that one. The scenes are laid in New
York and in New Rochelle. There Is
a coherent plot that smacks a little of
melOdrama. The story goes that Kid
falls in love with the daughter of
millionaire who is his best friend.
The parents object, though they know
the man is a good fellow, but he is not
of their world. He does the family
great service, and they come to see
things in a different light. To the
audience. however, that is the one weak
point in the production, for, though the
character is idealized Kid Burns is no
more than a race track tout. However,
the denOuement is not to be taken
seriously, for the fun of the perform
ance is too thoroughly good for any
criticism TO be entertained on the point
The Talk of New York" which
means a certain rumOr reported there
might easily refer to the newest
Broadway slang, with which the play
is filled. The lines made a hit every
time, especially the remarks about
women. In such an affair where a
woman is concerned the best a man
ever gets is the worst of it," Il
warned YOU on your wedding day that

opinions" and What do / care for

alderman" are some that Will be re-
membered.
Aside from the music. and this play
has some of the best Of COhan's song
successes and the clever lines, there
is the typical dash and spirit of
COhan production. For some theatre
goeTs they are about the only shows
that really go fast enough. The great
number of players and the continual
hurry of the performance give
Kaleidoscope effect that is a great
merit of the production. Swift and
smooth and well drilled, every song and
chorus is a prime favOrite. Two of

tective association, Pennsylvania state
game warden and secretary of various

cialty of double shooting, such as hit

tice. In addition to Captain Ressler's
