the features of the show.
The production is we'll staged. the cleo
trical effects being very effective. The
company is large and capable, the cho-
rus sprightly and prepossessing, in fact,

youth and beauty and gorgeous Co.'S

numbers might be mentioned Cant You

and Fuzzy Wuzzy," as the most pleas
ing.
Countess Won Harzfeldt as Mrs. Newly
Wed shared the honors with Harold
West; she sings well and dances with
much grace. She created the part in
the original production and looks the
part of the creation of McManus. Miss
Lois Hall as Dolly Jolly, sister Of Mrs.
Newlywed, pleased the audience with
her rendition of the several musical
Cant You See I Love You," sung by
Miss Hall and Frank Thornton was the
musical hit of the show.
Edwin Stanley as Mr.. Newly Wed was
very good, but the comedy honors went
to Daniel Murphy, as Adolph Nichols, a
waiter. His eccentric dancin, including
a skating STUNT was excellent.
The show is far better than the general
run Of popular priced productions. @

The play is marked with an amount
OF dancing. Miss Henrietta Lee is a
graceful, pretty young woman who

assisted by competent chorus.
There are three specialties in merry
Mary" the best being the monologue of
Mr.. Shannon, with new assortment of
parodes and jokes, as well as comedy
dance. The other is the sextette from
Lucia in burlesque, which was enjoyed
between acts one and two.
The entire performance is put on with
snap and vim that is refreshing, and
the action isn't allowed to lag for even
a minute. There is a matinee daily at
