AT THE DAVIS THEATRE
Capacity House ereets Oh Boy.

Once more the management of the Davis theatre made good it's promises, for the Ney York hit, Oh, Boy, easily came up to the expectations of the capacity house which greeted the pro- 'duction 1on Friday evening. As in most musical comedies the play was a mere incidental. but sufficient to al- low the introduction of pretty song, dance and speciality numbers. e With reference to the cast, the parts were well placed and each performer acted and sang as we'll as could be desired. While there were no remark able voices among the members of the company there were number of sweet, pleasing voices and the song numbers were especially well sung.
 Worthy of special mention is the work of Helen Shipman, who in the part of Jackie Sampson, made 8 very favorable impression on the audience. Her unique dancing and song mum
 bers fairly brought down the house and she was forced to respond to in sistent encores every time she appear ed before the footlights.
 The comedian's part fell to the lot
 of Joseph Allen who as Constable Simms caused continual laughter all the time he was on the stage. Irene Haisnan as Lou Ellen Garter
 made a very winsome bride and her sweet voice captured the hearts of hel audience.
 l Among the musical numbers were You Never Knew About Me, An Old Fashioned Wife. A Pal Like You, IlN the Clouds Roll By. o Daddy, Please Nesting Time and Hubby Dub, jthe Eaveman.
 The Comstock- Elliott Company and
 the music was by Jerome Kern
