ing personality, youth and pulchritude.
Altogether, she is a charming Georgine,
and makes you forget that she ever had
predecessor. Mr.. Kirkbride is all that
could be desired, either from the stand
point of the prospective bride on the stage
or from that OF the audience out in
front. He sings effectively and wears
his clothes in a way that would make
the 1916 model advertisements jealous.
There are several other new members
of the company. the ones seen here last
year being George Curzon, as the Vicomte,
Robert o'Conner, as Casipir, and Harry
Hermsen, as Istvan. These three are
responsible for most Of the comedy. in
which they are ably assisted by Joseph
Carey. as Prosper. Carey has the Hons
share of good lines, and he gets them
over in fine shape. Archibald Gilchrist,
as Elledon, Miss Amparlto Farrar. as
Leonie, and Mile. Andree Corday, as the
baroness. are most acceptable new men,
bers of the cast.
The Lilac Domino, contrary TO the
usual musical comedy standard. in addl-
tion to its way-above-the-ordina mu-
sic, is possessed OF a real plot and meaty
lines. Count Andre and his two friends,
Prosper and Casimir. lose their last
franc in gambling. They agree to throw
the dice to see who Is to marry an
nereSS, with tne ldea tnat ner money
shall be divided to pay the debts of the
three. Andre loses. At the ball masque
he loses his heart to a lilac domino girl,
not knowing she Is the Countess Leonie.
Later. when he meets the countess at
dansant. he notes her resemblance to his
ideal. the Lilac Domino. and they are
mutually attracted. Prior to the an
nouncement OF their engagement, how
ever. the countess learns of the secret
agreement between the count and his
two friends, and is crushed. Their love
finally flows in the normal course and
they are reunited.

of Lena. and Louise Kent as Mrs.

masculine role as Durward Belmont, is

attractiveness OF the production.
The romance Of Lena Rivers is familiar

written in 1856 by Mary Jane Holmes.

The chief interest in the present ap-

leading rolls. Grand surprises were in
store for those who were a trife skeptt-

They were buying most literally and

If we were to permit the saloon to
