There was a "Yip-tAddy' time In
the Garrick theater Monday night
when Blanche Ring sang her famous
song and coaxed the audience along
with her In It's lifting strains. And
there was a numerous chorus, too,
for every seat i'm the theater was oc-
cupied and all OF the standing room.
Miss Ring has always had host of
admirers In Detroit from the days
when she used TO come out In white
muslin and a blue sash and tell us
about THE Good Old Summer Time,
on through the various vehicles OF
her stardom, and everyone of her
friends doubtless will beset the Gar
rick during the current weeks en-
gagement 20 bid her welcome and sin6
their little piece.
The Yankee Girl is a snappy en-
tertainment. with plenty of fun, nu.
merOus and exceedingly good looking
contingent of girls and a colorful
background II is all about pretty
American girl, Jessie Gordon, going
10 a mythical republic with her father
and a group OF friends. losing father
and finding herself with plot on heI
hands--the plot of the play and the
plot of the "villyuns" An option ON
some mines which father holds Is COW
eted by an agent of the Japanese gov
ernment. and the complications have
TO do with the willy Japanese conniy-
Ing with the rascally president OF the
republic to do the Americans out OF
the option. OF course. 1t just happens,
4. IL. To- lAan
is American consul at this particular
republics capital city, and so, while
father Is trying TO find himself, Jessie
stays with the plot and her beau and
the audience has three hours of good
fun, lively music and the bouyant spIr-
It's OF blanche Ring. The makers OF
the piece are George V. Hobart and
Silvio Helm, who have turned out SO
many happy vehicles for Marie Cahill,
and III The Yankee Girl" have done
equally good service for Miss Ring. If
ii is all rather reminiscent OF the Ca
hill pieces. Miss Ring is a whole
show In herself and there will be
small chance for criticism il she never
brings any lhing worse than The Yam
kee Girl" In 1t she has opportunity
for dispensing her OWE peculiar brand
of humor. which at all times is whole
SOME and clean, and to sing those roar
ing. good-natnred songs for which she
Is noted. Incidentally. her gowns are
beautiful and she is an attractive pic
turc.
a very large cast surrounds Miss
Ring, numbering some very we'll
known stage favorites: Harry Gil
foil, Frederick Pauldlng. William r..
Carleton end others. Dorothy Bren-
ner and Dorothy Jardon are two very
attractive wOmen--the former dainty
and doll.like and blonde. the later in
the role of Spanish maiden dark
and dashmg. Miss Jardon, over the
footlights is strinkingly handsome
woman. with plenty of ability as an
actress, and her song, Maid Of Sevil
Ia was sung with a rich, full voice
and staged in most effective manner.
Dainty Miss Bremen also had a pretty
song, louisiana Elizabeth, which, IN
ats way, was equally effective The
entire production Is one of good looks
and animation with spirited dancing
and charming groupings Ii is too
bad that handsome Carleton hasn't an
other song or two to add to the en-
/ joyment of the audience, for he has a
| fine voice and Is heard with pleasure
in the one opportunity given him
A bit OF exceptionally good charac-
| ter work is that OF Charles j. Win
ringer as Rudolph Schnitzel, one OF
those lovable German characters who
bring Il tear to the eye as well as a
! laugh to the lips Mr. Winninger was
thoroughly entitled to the applause he
received, at the end of the second act,
when he has a delightful scene Of pa
I thos and humor with Miss Ring
! No better entertainment of Its kind
/ than THE Yankee Girl" has come to
! town this season, and Miss Ring with
her capable assistants and stunning
chorus girls. will doubtless have able
support from "out front" for "YiRi
Addy" and the other favorites through
out the week. There will be matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
