Joe Bren, the clever manager who
made THE Inside Inn such a colos.
sal success. is also the writer of this
musical comedy which is being staged
and produced under his direction and
with the assistance of his very clever
wife, Mrs. Joe Pren.
The cast, with the exception of Mrs.
Bren, is entirely composed of Santa
Feans and very talented ones. Mrs
Bren has made a great hit as the
Yama Yama girl and every one will
be anxious to see her.
There will be sufficient inspiration
for the players to do their best for
indications point to a full house, the
seat sale having begun with a rush
that showed there will be only stand
ing room after the curtain goes up.
There will doubtless be large at
tendance at tomorrow's performance
also. After the play tomorrow night,
the cast will be entertained by the
Beavers at their home and Morrison's
orchestra will discourse sweet music
while those so inclined may dance.
Scored in Duke City.
Of "The Masqueraders" which was
seen in Albuquerque the Journal says:
With even more abandon, and the
actors acting as though they owned
the stage and had it for sale, went
the second production of "The Mas
queraders" in Elks' theater last night.
And though those that saw the first
show could suggest nothing in the
way of Improvement the many that
went both nights could not but see
that everyone, including the horse
who is the last of the capable cast to
enter, had warmed up to the respec.
tive parts.
Some apprehension was expert
enced during the day when it got
winged about that ''Landy," the
Dutch comedian had sprained his an
kle and was home under the doctors
care. But Mr.. Landolfi was there and
with slight limp that only made him
more interesting in his ludicious part
Mrs. Joe Bren never appeared to bet
ter advantage in her life than last
night in both her song and dance
numbers. The Yama Yama dance was
given with charming grace and
childish abandon that took the house
by storm and she was recalled re-
peatedly for bit more of the quaint
song and strenuous dancing. All the
other members of the cast, who
scored SO heavily on the preceding
night, did themselves one better and
each and every one received hearty
reception at the hands of the pleased
audience.
The ladies were remembered by the
Elks' lodge with gorgeous bouquets
on both nights and the gentlemen
with cabbage and other offerings of
a vegetable variety. Enough could
not be said in praise of the chorus,
who acted and sung "to the stage
born" 1t was essentially a beauty
chorus, that in the feminine part, and
the galaxy of prettiness in maze OF
dance and song delighted the audi
ence as much as any part of the
show.
Briefiy-Joe Bren has come once
again-has come and conquered just
as the talented musical director al.
ways does, and he and his charming
wife will ever find welcome from
the theater-going public.
