Watch Your Step" Coming
to Grand. November e

Irving Berlin 8 international synco
pated musical success, entitled "Watch
Your Step, " which broke all of last
season IS touring records for musical en-
tertainment, will be presented at the
Grand Opera House Friday, Nov. %, for
one night only.
| Everyone associated with the prod
uction of Watch Your Step has won en-
viable fame in their particular field,
and this musical play is described as
their joint masterpiece.
Mr.. Berlin, who has given the public
some of the most prolific song hits
the modern stage has known, formed an
idea that musical show, written who'll
ly in syncopated time, would catch
the popular fancy of theatregoers. He
seized upon the idea with enthusiasm
and not long after completed the score
and lyrics. Then the book was in.
trusted to Harry B. Smith and none
could have made a better selection.
q Then came the selection of men and
women to stage the play. The most
noted were secured. Mr.. Dillingham;
commissioned Leon Bakst to paint the
production, X. H. Burnside, of the New
Work Hippodrome, to produce it and
Helen Dryden, designer of all the COW
ers for "Volgue, = to design and furnish
the costumes. The trio were given
carteblanche. The result was suf-
Efficient to give theatregoers distinct
surprise.
I 1t was the first time that ragtime
nlav had avnr haan offaYad FOR
public approval. That is was a genuine
success is proven by the fact that it
played in New York nearly an entire
fseason, in Chicago for three months, in
philadelphia for three months, and in
Boston for three months There are
IS in the cast including the famous
English Pony Ballet and the Levidski
Russian dancers. There is no question
about this being the most stupendous
,musical comedy organization that has
ever been sent to the far West by a
New York producer.
