THE THEATRES
"WETcH YOUR STEP"

Irving Berlin. the young composer
OF popular songs. >who wrote Watch
Your Step" which will be the attrac-
ton offered at the Court Theatre this
afternoon and evening scored great
success. And the success was due in
no small way to his producer. who
spared no expense in assembling a
good cast Of entertainers and provided
one Of the most attractiyely mounted
productions seen in this city in some
time
l.. Harry B. Smith wrote the book and
has given the many stars ample oppor-
tunity to display their talents.
Mr. Berlin'S music is highly appre-
ciated. The score Is lively, pleasant
arrangement Of songs that tango from
the sentimental to the riotously syn
copated. One of the most dashing OF
these is the ensemble number in the
second act. where Eerdi's ghost ap-
pears bathed in appropriate green
light to beg the jewellers not to mai
Hreat his operate airs. This. of course,
they refuse to do and Mr.. Berlin has
succeeded in writing a joyous sort OF
ragtime that is swung in reply to the
ghost. The song writer's lyrics are
strikingly original.
of the production is the costuming.
The chorus. large in number and beau
tiful, are delightfully."- dressed. the cos
tunes are strikingly splendid. The
scenery shows the master touch, Of
Leon Bakst. an artist with reputation
few have attained. and the staging Is
by that master of stagecraft, Mr.. Burn
side.
In a majority of musical offerings
there are always individual numbers
in the score and book which become
popular, in this respect Watch Your
Step" is different. No sooner than
one wiggling. tingling number Is fin
ished. then another Every song, every
movement is sampled with popular
approval. AS matter Of fact, 1t Is
score Of successes. You want to
whistle; you want to sing one, you
want to know them all-there Is no
choice. It's q great big, popular.
syncopated melody from beginning to
