"The Cat and the Fiddle" is to be

duplicated, say the wise ones, by his
brilliant new effort, The Cow and
the Moon" Like its companion in
Mother Goose Lore, the Cow and the
Moon is built along the lines of least
resistance to good hearty laugh and,
in the stratlingly funny situations in
volved by the master hand of its
creator, depicts an originally eccentric
story that will furnish this natural
comedian with the best vehicle in
years.
Mr.. Sellon has gained a well merit
ed prominence and popularity as a
most acceptable portrayer of comedy
roles through his complete elemina-
ton of all slap stick" methods and
furnishes a welcome surprise to those
who have not seen this quietly witty
Iimpersonator of the renowned Hap:
py."
If Happy" has made Sellon, the
reverse is quelly true. And a con-
tinuation of this character in The
Cow and the Moon" gives ample evil
dence of this youthful actors ability
to correctly gauge the theatrical
pulse.
From the moment in which he
starts his audience with him in the
hilarious trip from Not Muchville,
Indiana, until he reaches the Moon,
there is not a quiet moment.
Eeither the original scenic effect
are producing some startling surprise
or Happy and his aides are introduc-
ing some side-racking comedy.
Mr.. Sellon has surrounded himself
with cast of clever principals and
chorus of delightful proportions and
singing ability. The score is by
Carelton Lee Colby, whose compost,
tons are much in the public ear of
late.
The Cow and the Moon" is an,
nounced for its first visit to the Ores
cent next week.
Coming-"The Rosary"
Founded upon an emblem of purity
and full of human interest that goes
straight to the heart, The Rosary,
a new play by Ed B. Rose, will come
TO the Crescent the week of January
| OOpd Tho ,,roduo+iop ic q Dau- opx
and Messers. Rowland and Clifford
have given it magnificent staging
The theme of the play as expressed
by the title is presented in a grip
ping and forceful manner that strikes
home and at the same time there il
an abundance of original and mora
comedy. Seldom is a cast more fitteC
to their respective parts than tn,
members of this company.
Every members is so well place.
that there is not the slightest jarrini
of any part in the play and the resul
is perfect rendition.
In REV. Brian Kelly" played b,
Harrington Reynolds, theatergoer

this nature that ever has been see
on the stage. Mr.. Reynolds is force
full, sympathetic and impressive, an
gives just the right touch of realisr
to the character "The Rosary" ha
just completed a most successful tire
