CBy Emory B. CuIvert.l

FEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. SIN this
N waning season, which has been
filled with all sorts of half
baked affairs called musical comedies
and light operas, it is an unrelieved
pleasure to announce the opening Of a
real musical comedy with a genuine
star and a comedian who can no more
help being funny than a sheep being
woody.
This welcome visitor is "The sun
shine Girl and comes from the London
Gayety, where she has been dispelling
the dense fogs that have been hanging
over London during the past year The
sunshine girl in this instance is Miss
Julia SandersOn. the star
The music Of THE Sunshine Girl"
was written by Paul Rubens and the
book by Rubens and Cecil Raleigh And
In this case both the book and the mu-
sic proved eminently satisfactory. New
York audiences have long since given
up expecting TO find anything in the
lines OF a musical comedy to rouse
mirth, but The Sunshine Girl'' has
plenty Of bright, witty lines of thar
quiet, insinuating character that an
intelligent audience delights to hear.
And the music was hauntingly tune

Little Miss SandersOn was the very
spirit Of it all She sang SWeetly.

fine taste and never once gave the i'm
preston that she knew she was q star.
What an example this modest little
woman is to some of her musical star
sisters who flaunt themselves in the
faces OF their audiences
Then there was Joseph Cawthorne,
whose humOr is as permeating as kero-
sene. He brought the comedy up to its
highest pitch with his singing of You
can't Play Every Instrument in the
Orchestra"
There were a number of other songs
and they all scored hits. Among these
