eNIADANI SHERRY

Like the vine from winch she takes
| her name. Madam Sherry does not
! grow any the worse for age. Although
| FL PasOanS nave had their ears tickIed
I with the music and have laughed at the
comedy of Madam Sherry for two
/ seasons, the audience at the FL Paso
theater Sunday night enjoyed the per-
Torrance immensely. The producing
company is an exceedingly good one
Generally, the third year production is
put out just to clean up the loose ends
and get in all the money possible at as
little cost to the management as pos
sible. With the Madam Sherry the
third year company is exceedingly
good.
Nat A. Wagner, of San Francisco. for
merly manager of Kolb and Dill, the
funny Dutchmen, owns the show that
IS now here and, apparently, he has put
forth his best efforts to make it a rood
organization. While some of the char
acterizatiOns differ somewhat from the
interpretations given to the parts in
previous productions. this docs not de-
tract in the least from the excellent
manner in which they are presented
now. Mr.. Magner has selected a good
cast and he has not neglected the
scenery, and brings his own orchestra
with him. under the leadership of Jack
Raynes, who himself wrote the comic
musical comedy, Peggy From Paris"
The moonlight scene in the last act
is a beautiful piece of stage realism.
The reflection of the floating clouds in
Island, with the brilliant lights rom
the island in the background caused
APP lause as the curtain went up last
night.
Bobbie WooIsey takes the role Of
TheOphiluS Sherry the millionaire &c
centric uncle; Lucille Palmer is tie
actress sweetheart Of the younger
Sherry; George KnOwltOn is the Irish
hOusekeeper; Clarence LydstOn is young
Sherry; Grace Duval is Pepita; Edna
Robinson is YvOnne, andNJack Pollard is
the French janitOr. All are particularly
capable in the various characters and
Miss Palmer exhibits an unusually good
voice in ner song numbers Pollard is
former head Of the Pollard Opera COM
pany. He is a very graceful dancer, a
good singer and clever actor He does
an excellent Tango dance with Miss
May Graham in the Ist act.
The performance is full of witty lines !
and funny situations and mas some OF !
the catchiest music that the American |
public has known in years; IT seems to |
grow on one. At the third perform
ance you seem to like it better than |
at the first. G. A NJ
