ISLE Of Love- A
SPLENDID ATTRACTION
PLAY WILL SHORTLY BE PRO.
DUcED AT AlRDoME IN
ToNOPAH

GOLDFIELD. Oct. 26.-Three hun
dred people were turned away from
the Lyric theater last night at the
opening performance here OF Jack
Cnrry's twentieth century girls pro,
duction of "The Isle of Love"
Never before in the theatrical his
tory OF Goldneld, even in the palmiest
days of the big boom, has such q
demonstrative reception been ac-
corded comedy or dramatic concep-
ton. Great as was the enthusiasm
displayed before the fall of the cur
tain, the finish OF the first act deyel-
oped a volume OF cyclonic approba-
tion that literally shook the auditor
ium from footlights to gallery. II Is
a wonderful show.
Candidly the writer went to review
and to revile, believing that another
honk-tonk, slap-stick gold brick was
being handed TO us-went to laugh
In scorn and remained to laugh with
merit.
George Bird, who, the files OF the
dramatic reviews show us Is really
a celebrated comedian OF the big
time, has, by some strange fad or
fate. wandered away from Broadway
with a show that really brought cheer
back here to us in the hills. Even
the jump from the lowlands into TINS
altitude did not seem TO have de
teriorating effect upon either prinei
pals or minors voices, and the seven
teen musical, dancing and singing
numbers in "The Isle of Love- wen
over beautifully.
AS for girls, there are hosts OF then
in THE Isle of Love" and Directo
Bird. who produced the airy littl'
comedy, lost no opportunity to pre-
sent them at their artistic best
There are shapely and winning musi
cal maidens enough and of suificien
variety TO put any show over
The company viii soon be in Tone
nah.
