AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Jumping Jupiter" Has Brought Richard
Carle Great Success.

Richard (EImselfl Carle's popularity
was never better eXemplfed than dur
ing the present season, for his latest
vehicle, Jumping Jupiter" has brought
the elongated comedian his greatest sue
cess since times of ''The Spring Chick
en- Jumping Jupiter" is strictly a
"show" that Is designed primarily to
entertain, and like the other Frazee &
Lederer production, Madame Sherry"
wins because of the quality Of its cast
and Jumping Jupiter" will be seen at
the opera house Tuesday, April l6.
The play does not rely on its star
alone to make its way, but employs the
services of a company of artists, who
have been more than once described as
the model musical comedy east.
Jumping Jupiter" was written by
Richard Carle and Sydney ,Rosenfeld
upon the basis of the latter's farce,
''The Purple Lady" and character has
heen fashioned for the star for the ade
qunte exploitation of his unique gifts
and odd personality. Carle who is al
ways funny, has never been funnier in
anything than in Jumping Jupiter" +"
The complications of the play arise
through his efforts TO escape a tangle of
lies in which his friends have involved
him.
Karl Koschna. composer of Madame
Sherry" "Three Twins" Bright Eyes, .
etc, has written a dozen catchy num-
bers for Jumping Jupiter Probably
the most Characteristic of these is Lit
tie Girl Love You" which runs through
the play
The speed OF Jumping Jupiter is
helped along by several other pacemak-
ers headed by Edna Wallace Hopper
Especially enga gedl, who has never been
more dainty in appearance or 50 con
viacing in comedy since the days of
"Floradora'
