of it, is dowdy and unbecoming to Miss

has charm, and that compensates.
WOODLAND" AT THE GRAND
woodland" the musical "Chante-
cler," was revived by Ferris Hartman
and his merry associates yesterday at
the Grand opera house. Judging from
all standpoints, the piece deserved
every bit of the generous applause It
received. There is worth to "Wood-
land" It's general character is differ
ent from the usual run of musical
comedies 1t is more an extravaganza
than a comedy. It's musical numbers
have lilt, and it's humor is of a gem
uine kind. Inasmuch as the Hartman
chorus is pretty in more way than one,
and is led by Carmen Phillips, and the
principals are not ordinary, Wood-
land' is a success.
Mr. Hartman is always springing
surprises. In woodland the partic-
ular surprise happens to be Annie Lit
tle,Wh essays the role of Prince Ea-
gle Miss Little took last nights audi
ence by storm and was applauded to
the echo. She has voice of wonder
full sweetness a personality of much

a face of youthful beauty. Everybody
was disappointed that her role did
not call for more vo ''3ation, for her
when the Heart Is Light and
Cheer, Boys, Cheer were hits.
AS usual Mr.. Hartman, Myrtle Ding
wall, "Muggins" Davies, Walter De
Leon and Robert z. Leonard scored
heavily. Mr.. Hartman played the Blue
Jay and was particularly funny. Miss
Ni0hin o9Ip
"Time Is Flying" and "The Message
of Spring" very we'll. Miss Davies and
Mr. DeLeon gained half a dozen en-
cores with Dainty Little Ingenue"
and she and Mr.. Hartman were round
ly applauded for their efforts in Bye
Bye, Baby" "The Hot Bird and Cold
Bottle dance made a hit. Had the
variou participants in the singing con-
test, the biggest feature of "Woodland'
desired, they would be singing yet.
This musical effort, rendered by the
Canaries, Miss Nightingale and cho-
rus, Jenny Wren and the Blackbirds
and the Dove and chorus seemed to
please immensely.
Hal Stephens, who heads this week S
Orpheum bill, opening this afternoon,
has taken for his vehicle excerpts
from the big stage successes of the
past-plays now seldom seen. With
an adequate company and proper ac-
cessories, he thus presents the meat"
of dramas that are now virtually stage
tradition. In this way present gem
Grafton of theater goers is enabled to
learn of the spectacles that charmed
those of a decade or so ago, and Mr..
Stephens is rendering a real service
to Thespianic art. In Louise Meyers
