ON MUSICAL COMEDY
Margaret Romano Thinks It Is
Just What the Public Wants.

There are many different angles be-
tween musical comedy and straight dra-
matte work" said Miss Margaret Ro-
maine, one of the principals in THE Mid
night Girl" at the 4ith Street Theatre.
OF course, rehearsals for a musical
production last as long as do those neces-
sary for drama, but / doubt very seri-
ously if the preparation is so strenuous
and constant. The cost of production Of
a musical comedy is much larger than the
figure required for a play, and yet the
scale OF admission prices is the same
for both. In musical show there are
costumes 10 be designed and purchased,
expensive scenery to be built and painted
numerous lighting effects to arrange, or
chestra rehearsals to be paid for and
many numerous details.
1.-THE average musical production must
play at Atlantic City, Providence, Phila-
oeIphia or some other nearby city for
week or TWO weeks before the opening
New York performance is given. This con
sttutes an added expense. for box Office
receipts on such engagements are small,
the attraction not yet having gained any
New York prestige. A drama, after two
or three dress rehearsals. may open in
New York without the customary prac-
tice Of going out Of town.
A musical attraction is more likely to be
discussed about town than the usual dra-
matte offerings, chiefly because there are
so many ways of bringing It to the at
tenuon OF the public. After the theatre
one hears the same tuneful melodies as
part OF the repertory OF Broadway cafe
orchestra. At home you listen 10 the
same strains on the plano or the phono-
graph. At afternoon bridge parties there
Is discussion about Miss so-and-so. the
clever dancer, who wears a latest stvIe

Theatrical managers, particularly
that loyal few who have stuck TO the
traditions Of their craft and spurned
the lure Of motion picture invest
ments, ought TO be able 10 snatch
crumb Of comfort from the obviously
increasing tendency of the better
class Of film theatres 10 include
silent plays" in their entertain
ments. These silent plays differ only
from the drama in that the actors
play in pantomime. and while the
change from action on the films to
action in real life is not very great,
their advent may be construed to in
dicate that a large body Of film faces
have become unsatished with the
mere photographs of their dearly be-
loved heroes and yearn fer the more
satisfying sights Of them cavortinG
about the stage in the flesh.
