however, a valiant effort is made TO
bring a local flavor into the lines.
and although DeWOlf Hopper calls

all right IL his execution is little

The chorus Is doubtless glad that
the heatless days are over. for they
must have suffered severely during
the recent cold spell what with the
thinness OF costumes and upper and
lower abreyiations. However. they
looked well, and how they felt was

WIN FIRST NIGHTERS

\ new star was presented TO the
world of musical comedy last evening
when Klaw & Erlanger introduced
Miss Beth Lydy in The Rainbow
Girl" at the National. This young
woman. who Is not yet twenty, has a
soprano voice that Is clear and reso-
nsnt. and won for her many plaudits
| from the flrst-nighters. And she also
demonstrated her ability as an actress
in the vehicle which Rennold Wolf
made over from a comedy BY Jerome
X Jerome.
Louis A. Hirsch. who wrote the
music for the new play. supplied lots
Of whistleable and likable melodies.
The "jaz" is glorlfied in several num-
bers by the chorus girls in the
gayest of attires seen here In some
time. There are plenty OF lively
dances for the principals. and all are
given with a vim.
There Is real interest and fun IN The
Rainbow Girl In addition to the tune

she believes to be a salesman but who
