THE BELAsCo.
"Havana.D


Havana" the sprightly musical play
which was presented ar the Belaseo
Theater for the first time last night.
after a long run in New York, is sue
cessful for the same reasons that make
any show OF it's class successful It is
lively, with catchy tunes, exuberant
comedy. all thrown against brilliant
scenic background. and the plot is so
slight as to preclude even the faintest
degree OF mental fatigue While the
phrase There is nothing TO IT. applies
after all is over. still one has been en-
teTtained, and wholesomely entertained
at that.
The three acts are built upon the idea
or an Imminent revolution in Cuba, and
while this idea gives opportunity for
some interesting byplay In the way OF
revolutionary meetings and counter
plotting. the thing is really an excuse
for introducing James T. Powers. Dave
Andrada, and other comedians. in con-
Junction with some really good singers.
Mr.. Powers appeared as Samuel Nix.
an American sailor. who is snatched from
the arms of his Cuban bride and thrown
on board ship by his companion. He re-
turns after some years are passed. Is
mistaken for an American fllibuster. is
condemned 10 be shot, is declared legally
dead, but survives 20 be reunited TO his
wife and be introduced 10 his SON, an
exact replica OF himself II is all very
funny, and Mr.. Powgs is just the man
10 get the fun out OF IL, He gets of
much comical conversation, tells some
good Jokes, and figures successfully in
topical song. How Did the Bird Know
That?" in conjunction with Bessie
Graham. One OF the funniest episodes OF
tho play occurs when he meets his son
Sammy, j.. who is effectively imper-
sonated by Lillian Fuethrer
Dave Andrada. as Or. AdolpO. an angli-
cized Cuban. also figures largely I'm the
comedy OF the production. leading the
Hello People" chorus with aplomb and
carrying the character through his whole
performance. The Cupid Telephone"
song by himself and chorus was very
entertaining. and in fact this idea is
really the hit OF the piece.
\ splendid vocal number was furnished
by Ernest Hare in the second act. who
also appears as Senior Bombito. the mayor
OF Havana. and II. this connection II
might be we'll to safe that the music
throughout was decidedly above the aver
age musical comedy material While not
pretentiOus In any degree. II is catchy
and spirited. Some Of the best numbers
are I'm a Cuban Girl by Helen Oar
ling and chorus; What Shall I DO with
the Rest" by the same singer: way
Down in Pensacola" by Arthur Derners,
and Would You Like 10 MOtor?' by
Dave Andrada. Geraldine Malone. and
chorus. There is plenty OF spectacular
diversion. and all things considered there
is small wonder that Havana" has been
successful as a feeting but sparkling
entertainment

THE COLUMBIA.


Imagine a musical melodrama-which is
merely good old-fashioned meIodrama-
with the thief" THAR" curses" style
Of repartee a few songs thrown In for
good measure. while the audience sees
the fair heroine won by tho man who
loves her and the villain mutters. Fooled

curtain falling on the unusual picture OF
the said heroine in the arms OF the hero,
and you Will have q fairly good picture
OF The Iron King" which opened
weeks engagement at the Columbia last
night.
We are told that It is because Of It's
size that Washington is a week stand
city," but sometimes one can but wish
that II had never grown up-and this is
one or the occasions. II The Iron
King were visiting US for only a night
or two. perhaps We might be more kindly
disposed toward him. but a week is too
long. Indeed, the audience last night
seemed 10 think that one night was too
long.
The only thing that lifts the play from
q deep nut is tho fact that. unlike most
melodramas, there are no thrills. Even
when tho hero SEXES the young-man-of
good-intentions by the throat and threat
ems to choke him il he does not retract
those Villalnous statements" the intend
ed thrill fails 20 get across"
Outside or this, the piece has all the
usual elements OF the melOdrama OF by
gone days. One sees the ole father, the
comic German, and his slightly less
comic wife; the villain and tho young
man Experimentation but poor judg-
ment; the oppressed heroine and the per-
severing hero. who. nothing daunted by
the turn which affairs seem 10 take
against him. sticks to the end (Which Is
more than some OF the audience did, and
finally wins the girl Besides these. there
are the songs. II Is safe 20 say that
none OF them will llnger in the memory
more than three seasons. while oh How
That Woman Could Love" was heard
last season IN The Girl and the Wizard"
so that ii has already enjoyed about all
the popularity that is its due
Frank Adair. IN the role OF the Iron
King. has the task OF singing most OF
the songs In addition TO making love
70 the heroine and folling the plots OF
the villain-which Is too mucn OF a task
for any one man-so Mr.. Adalr should
not be criticised too much for his work
last night.
Others in the cast are Charles A. l.Jder
In a Sam Bernard-Joe Cawthorne-Lew
Fields sort OF a German character;
Leighton Meehan. as the young-man-of-
good-intentions; NJ. J. Jordan, as the
father and would-be villain, and ,Irma
la Pierre as the heroine. Their edcting
was almost as amateurish as was the
play.
This is an ''Orr year. in theatricals, or
so they tell US, but II would have 10
be of great deal more 10 find any
signs OF success IN The Iron King"
