est in the musical offerings Of the present

sentaiion at The Playhouse this evening
and all this week of Glen MacDonough and
RAYMOND Hubbelfs latest stage effort,
which il is claimed will set all the country
humming, dancing, whistling, singing and
laughing There is no diversity of opinion
among the enthusiastic MacDonough
following as to the particular merits Of the
production, as a MacDonough standard
and type. Everyone agrees that 1t IS one
of the most animated, coiorful. mirth
provoking and clcan-cut musical comedies
of the present day standard The kecnness
of the satire with which the divorce ques-
ton is handled is agrecably fashioned after
a most amusing type oi comedy The
music is full of jingle and tunefulness that
is retained in memory The characters are
we'll drawn and the big musical ensembles
and wonderfully agile and pretty galety
girls form one of the most palatable stage
offerings Of the past theatrical season.

cdienne; Grace Field, Janet Nchc Beatrice
