WONDER SHOW IS
A BIG SUCCESS
Winter Garden
Offering Presented at
the Orpheum

"The Show of Wonders" Winter
Gardens latest extravaganza, scored
big hit with the Orpheum audiences
on saturday, many encores being call
ed for the numerous musical selec-
tions. Presented by one of the best
companies appearing here this season
the big stage success from New York
is certainly worthy of leading honors
in its class.
The Offering is given in two acts,
hfteen scenes and is replete with fun.
song and dance; good comedians and
an excellent chorus elaborately and
artistically costumed. Every one at
some time or other has read of per-
sons going back to nature away from
all civilization. This is the start of
the story of THE Show of Wonders"
Hermit Joe, with his daughter Eve,
are in the mountains, when a hunter
appears, sees the girl and kisses her.
Later she tells her father, and he sets
out in search of the man who has
kissed his daughter. His quest ends
successfully in the last scene, when
Eve and the hunter are reunited. AS
comedy feature Eugene and Willie
Howard also take to the chase in the
first scenes. The latter in a comedian
role, was recalled often for encores.
Many of the scenes were complete
novelties, furnishing opportunities for
fine chorus work or evoking plenty of
laughter in their originality of wit.
The patriotic scene, american Air
planes over the Top" was a~feature
of the second act which brought a
storm of applause.
OF the cast of characters the fol-
lowing appeared most frequently and
contributed much to the success of
the offering: Edmund Mulcahy, as
Hermit Joe;" Flora Lea, as Eve"
Patsie O'Hearn, as "Diani," who won
popularity in the chorus numbers; the
Howards, for comedy treats; Charles
Wright. as "Pansy," and Tom Lewis,
as Hector" who shares in the fun
end of the program; Jacque Kujawski
and Adele Ardsley featured in novelty
dances.
Musical numbers which were most
popular were: "Yiddisha Butterfly"
Willie Howard; "Girls Prepare"
military chorus feature; "a Bit of
Kisses to Me-" and my Heart Is In
This Bubble" two more chorus hits.
