John c. Fisher in "The Red Rose"
furnishes US with the most extensive
program Of singing and dancing that has
been displayed on single stage in many
years he has also provided a company
that is moro numerous in it's personnel
haV Dc II-- ~
most ambitious of managers, and has
otherwise displayed an opulence that is
most refreshing in his efforts to make
his entertainment worth while. And
when II is added that his singers can
sing, that his dancers can dance, and
that his comedians are really funny, the
story of the evening is about told. 1.-THE
Red Rose" is extensive in every way, and
TO particularize means to exhaust the
vocabulary OF praise so the task will not
be undertaken. The best way to get a
fun notion of what is offered is to at
tend at the Brandeis while the company
is holding forth there and see for YOUR
self. 1t has three long acts. each stuffed
full of the prettest of pictures of girls
and men, with songs and dances and
humorous sallies, and all telling a really
connected story OF life and love in Paris,
involving students. the nobility, and the
Americans who visit the French capital.
Miss Zoe Barnett is the hard working
member of the company; she has not an
idle moment, for when she is not on the
stage singing in a captivating way. or
dancing in a way still more fetching, she
is in her dressing room busily getting
into another gown, more stunning than
the last. She wears about a dozen diff
ferent costumes, all of the latest and
seine that are almost daring, but every
one an exquisite creation; incidentally,
she has the hats to 90 with them, and
IL it is only viewed from n sartorial
standpoint. her performance is distinct
hit. But Miss Barnett can sing wonder
fully well, and dance beautifully, so she
is a real treat.
Miss De Won is a saucy soubrette of
dashing sort, and Miss Ellsworth in
PRODUCES herself to us as another female
comedian of quality. Each of these young
persons can dance and sing. And this
statement goes for the whole feminine
contingent of the company, the same
counting well over a score of pretty
girls, who are given the opportunity Of
appearing in many differing CARDS, all
charming.
Mr.. Frascona sings with a single fault;
his tones are sweet and pure, but his
enunciation is such as to prevent any
one from catching a word of his songs.
The men are well selected, and the male
chorus is especially strong. Song hits
and dance numbers that bring demands
for more abound In fact THE Red
Rose" is even more than the advance
notices promised, it is as good a musical
piece as has been presented here in a
long time, or as is likely to be seen here
this season. Its reception at the Bran
deis last night was most enthusiastic, and
1t ought to be very popular during the
remainder of its time in town. The en-
gagement lasts till after Wednesday
night, with a matinee on Wednesday
afternoon.
