Belnsco-"Nora Bayes in "Look
Who's Here

"ho
That queen Of coon-shouters, Nora
Bayes, made her heralded appear
ance in Washington last night in
musical comedy role. Her vehicle
was Look Who's Here" a revamped
Cby Leon ErroD edition of the rather
ancient Hoyt farce, "A Contented
Woman.
Washington will favor Nora Bayes
in Look Who's Here" Just as
Washington favors Nora Bayas In
any old act she may select for an
appearance. but Nora Bayes is only
good in Look Who's Here" when
she departs from character, when she
steps out of musical comedy role,
when she throws, as it were, the
plot to the four winds and becomes
Nora Bayes.
Look Who's Here" is nothing but
a vehicle for Nora Bayes. Eferves-
cent, ingenious, and ever the artist
OF low comedy methods, she overtops
a supporting cast in a manner that
is sad. Frequently Miss Bayes dis
appears from the action and one Is
tempted to believe that her disap-
pearance is forced through the exI-
gencies Of dramatic entertainment
which admit of no other solution If
other performers are to have a
chance to entertain. When Nora is
of" the rest are funny: when she's
ON" they become lay figures.
There is afforded such a chance to
William Kent and Florence Morri-
son in the second act, when they
carry off lavish share of applause
in duet number which, after all,
is absolutely and wholly interpeI-
lated and has nothing at all to do
with the action of the comedy.
From a narrative viewpoint, Look
Who's Here" is simply a suffrage
tight in small but gay community
IN which a young man is fighting
for election to the mayoralty
against his unwilling but staunch-
ly pro-suffrage sweetheart.
Irving Fisher, who was seen in
the "Cohan Revue" of last year
with Miss Bayes. has improved as
a foil for the psychological excur-
sicns of the star. He has a pleas
ing personality; he can sing with
agreeable feeling, and one under
stands why his talents have been
appreciated by his more brilliant
partner, Nora.
Leon Enrol. the famous ex-drunk
of the Follies. has committed his
name to the program as the stager
of Look Who's Here" He has not
done badly. In fact, some of Icons
own comedy, we discerned, has
fallen upon the pink shell-like ears
of Miss Bayes with so agreeable an
effect that we hear it returned to
us over the footlights as an echo
Of "Hitchy-Koo" from his own lips.
He has evidently caught young q
chorus more noted for brains than
beauty, who viii work together bet
ter when they are better stage
managed. One is inclined to sus-
pect a species of over-drilling in
their tense, nervous attitudes,
which betokens a meticulous de-
sire to please somebody's idea of
chorus ensemble.
All in all, Look Who's Here"

flash a few of them on the screen jut
to how you that they are giving you
