serves as" a fitting epitome of the play
which opened at that theater last night.
From the beginning to the end Of it's two
acts THE Echo" which is the title
under which the piece has been staged,
affords opportunities for Miss Mccoy to
display series OF graceful dances, and
these Terpsichorean specialties have been
so combined with catchy bits of musical
comedy that the whole makes a delight
full two hours of entertainment
In its opening scenes THE Echo, seems
to promise disappointment to the
theater1oers who have been led to high
expectations. because the first few min
utes Of the first act are reminiscent of
so many musical comedies Of other sea
sons. But from the moment of the ap-
pearance Of Kate. head waitress at the
Echo House. Miss Mccoy, to the last
curtain call the fun moves fast and
furiously.

comedy in every scene. The settings and

off to good advantage. Violet Wilson in
the leading feminine role scored success
in singing and dancing. Harry L. Cooper,

Belasco.

Clean. healthy merriment is benefac-
ton to mankind. So it doesn't really
matter whether the little play. Miss
Patsy" by Sewell Collins, which was
presented at the Belasco Theater last
evening by Gertrude Quinlan and a COM
petent company, meets the demands OF
high art or not. 1t pleased a very large
audience and kept it in continual state
Of laughter and good nature. So well was
it liked that the curtain rose and fell
many times between acts in response to
the applause. The serious patriot might
have been shocked at the manner in
which it burlesqued prominent figures in
the United States Navy, and that at
their very fount of existence, Annapolis,
Md, but the fun was SO harmless, the
purpose of the humor so far removed
from anything really offensive that, it is
believed. even a genuine admiral would
have pardoned the impudence.
Some one said the first act lacked a
climax, the third act overdid itself and
deal like "cute child" that overacted
the part. But those comments faded
away before the irrepressible smiles that
permeated the performance throughout.
The play is properly called Miss
Patsy" because Miss Patsy was the
show The plot is so intangible that
probably most of the audience did not
know there was one But such as it was
1t served to marry the unique. slangy lit
tie helpmate of the leading lady to the
latter's rustic beau, the leading lady to
an officer of the navy and the admiral
daughter. delightfully."- played by little
Ruth Chatterton, to the man of her
fancy.
In the title role Gertrude Quinlan fur
nishes an enjoyable impersonation. The
first two acts of the play seemed to prom
ise both really new play and a really
new character role. The third act
switched the promise. But even to the
close Miss Quinlan's personality MAIN
tanned the interest.
The role of the German stage manager
Beckman, true to life and twice as nat
ural,' was in the able hands of Dan
Mason.
Dorothy Tenant appeared as Helen
Burrell. Miss Patsy's special care and

badly in the last act.
