TUNEFUL MUSIC
in FINE COMEDY
"Furs and Frills' Is Enjoyed
by Orpheum Audiences
on Saturday

"Furs and Frills." the muscial COM
edy presented at the Orpheum Thea
ter, Saturday, made a big hit with its
tuneful musical numbers. good chorus
and the originality of the story.
The name of the comedy might cas-
ny be changed to the title of one OF
the songs, The Tale of a Coat" be-
cause much of the fun is centered on
the purchase and pawning of u Rus
sian sable coat. To follow the buying,
selling and giving away of that one
coat is the task the audience is given;
author of the story, taking care to
have 1t exchange hands about every
three minutes.
Or the musical numbers, only a few
are of the ordinary kind, and even
these have no originality that make
them entertaining. The best ones are:
Does Polly Want Wally?". duet and
chorus number; "Furs and Frills." solo
and chorus; "A Short Farewell Is
Best" another good duet; Love
Love-" solo, and "Yuletide Spirit,
duet and chorus. The dancing violin
asst made big hit with the audience
ana added to the attractive chorus. OF
the comedy song numbers, You Can't
rake II With You When You Die,
and Always Take Mothers Advice,
were the best.
a ilbrettist; Thomas Burton, as Will
liam MacTavish. n composer and part
ner, and Beth Smalley, as Polly, their

most; while Ferne Rogers, as Macey's
wife, and Harriet Burt, as MacTavish's :
wife, were good.
