1.-THE Girl of My Dreams" the big
musical production which comes to the
Grand at DEBORAH, Thursday evening.
February 10th, is one Of the greatest
musical shows on the road. The man
ayers of the Grand were fortunate in
getting the opportunity to book this
great show. 1t is full Of life and
sparkles with catchy music, songs and
dances. The song hits will linger long
in your memory, and they are all new.
The following from the Kansas City
Journal gives the reader some idea Of
the prominence Of the play and COM
5pany:
After all there are but two kinds of
musical comedies the kind that is sell
dom offered and usually pleases and the
kind that seldom pleases and usually is
offered. The Girlof Ny Dreams, which
opened at the Grand yesterday after
noon for weeks engagement, is a
production of more than usual attrac-
tiyeness, AMI. distinctly it is one that
belongs to the seldom offered" class,
and it pleases. It is two-act atmo-
spherical play by Wilbur D. Nesbit
and Otto Hauerbach, with music by
the late Karl Hoschna, composer of
Three Twins, Madame Sherry"
and doctor De Luxe
The show is unusual, too. in that it
inspires to correct living reversal of
the usual pilots" of musical produce
tions. There is nothing sugg estive
save that which would benefit human
ity to bark to. The show abounds in
Puritan surroundings and the old, wet
always beloved, sentimental atmos-
phere grandparents are wont to have
their children's children pattern after.
The songs are understandable and the
hearing Of them is rs restful as the
tale Of gray haired persons in reciting
again tn, scenes Of their childhood
when man and not the clothes he
wore counted. The words Of the songs
open up an album Of fancy before the
audience which turns the mind back
ward to the simple happiness Of other
days and which is refreshing produc-
ing sort Of recess in the hurrying,
make-believe appearance programme
modern tendencies decree.
AS the winsome little quaker maiden,
Countess Olga Won Hatzfeldt appears
indeed as the one you might dream
about. Roy Purviance appears as the
bachelor The pair do justice to
the reputation Of the show as estab-
lished by Ella Mcintyre and John
Hyams. who appeared in the original
cast. Miss Won Hatzfeldt is pretty and
has personality which is pleasing. In
responding to one of many encores
during the rendition Of "Dr. Rinkle
Tinker. she impersonates Miss Nc
1ntyre with baby talk" and the aud
fence has the advantage, figuratively
speaking. Of hearing both!
"The Girl Of Ny Dreams. Dear
Little Games Of Guessing and many
others of the show are songs which are
many times encored before the ap.
plause subsidies.
Many Of the original cast are appear
ing at the Grand, among them Neil
Burns, Frank McEwen, Adele Boulais,
W. ID. Stone and Irving Brooks, who
lis amusing and clever as ever in his
role of Count v.n Schnigglefts. The
chorus is larger and the men members
especially are worthy Of priase.
srhe Girl of My Dreams, while re-
manning at the Grand the entire week,
will not be played to public audience
Friday night. Delegates attending the
lumbermen's convention have reserved
the entire house for that night.
