beautiful chorus.
Max Bloom needs no introduction
to the public having appeared IN
"Hoity.Toity," Telephone Girl as
a German comedian, and in The sun
nv side of Broadway" as Hebrew
comedian. But in Winning Miss"
Max appears to the best advantage
of his career. In fact, Max has come
into his own He was a great German
comedian, not dependable upon whis-
Ilers or dialect, he is a star OF the
first magnitude, and it is in that
style of part he will be seen in
"A Winnig Miss" "a Winnig Miss"
is the biggest and best production he
was ever connected with, and he has
the best part Of his career, conse-
quently Max Bloom is knockout, to
use the theatrical vernacular. The sec
ond big feature, the music of the
piece, is in class by itself, as ev-
cry one will testify who attends the
first performance. An augmented or
chestra of fourteen men is needed to
meet the requirements of the musical
director, as it is necessary, both on
account of such large and strong
singing chorus and also to get the
desired effects that small orchestra
cannot produce. The music is both
high class and catchy and is render
ed by real artists. II as composed by

production that stands the manage

tunes are beautiful, naturally, at such
an expenditure; and the scenic ef-
fects equal to any production on Broad

THE spendthrift" which comes 10
the Thatcher Opera House on May AZ,
is a pulsating vital drama Of American
life today. Its theme is extravaganza.
It was written by Porter Emerson
Browne, an observing, skillfull play
wright who has just arrived at the
height of his power, 1t emphasizes the
almost criminal wastefulness which Is
characteristic of the daily lives of
many persons--men as well as women
of a certain stratum of contempor-
airy society. But the play is not a
parchment. 1t teaches its lesson in an
attractive fashion. The strongest sit
uations-those which impress an au-
dlence Immediately with their purpose
and truth-are developed in an at
mosphere of high comedy. While "The
Spendthrift" has aroused more seri.
Gus discussion than any other play
produced in several years, there are
100 laughs" in the first act.
Frederic Thompson, the producer,
has assembled an excellent cast to
interpret the various roles, headed by
Doris Mitchell, and includes such ar.
lists as Lionel Adams, Gendolyn Piers,
