Visiting SaVants Have
Chance to See the Real
Thing in Musical Comedy

Latin America was introduced to the
spirit Of musical comedy as It pervades
the United States at the gala theater
party given by the members OF the Of
fetal delegation from this country to
the Pan-American Scientific Congress
to their South and Central American
confreres at the New National Theater
last night. Music and opert are part
of the national life OF the Latin Ameri-
can, and the United States version of
musical comedy is fairly we'll known in
what might be called a denaturized
form-that is. without the stars that
made II popular.
Last nights performance of "Sybil,"
with Julia SandeTson, Donald Brian,
Joseph Cawthorne, and all the other
bright lights of the musical comedy
stage, was the first opportunity many
OF the visitors ever had OF seeing the
real thing, and they enjoyed themselves
immensely The entire house had been
bought out by members of the United
States delegation, and tickets were dis
tributed through the social aides to the
various delegations. The generous ap-
plause that greeted the musical and
dancing numbers attested the appreciR-
ton of the guests of the evening.
After the theater there were a dozen
or more special New Year parties at the
various hotels where the delegates
watched the old year out and helped the
other guests Of the hostelries welcome
the New Year.
