]. III. Blanchard's tenth standard must
cal comedy-he has ventured cour-
ageously and has stinted nowhere.
The scenery, the costumes in which
he has invested, are all indicative OF
his good taste, and his players, among
ws4om are several newly invited into
this capital, prove his possession of
a knack for detecting talent and
measuring it's suitability for def
mite line Of employment. That he also
has q knowing eye is shown by the
quality of his chorus. With record
of five months at the LaSalle theater,
Chicago, it has come to be recognized
as one Of the best theatrical attrac-
lions of the year. Written by VIII
M. Hough (co-author of "The Time,
The Place and The Girl", "a Stubborn
Cinderella, "a Modern Eve etc.
with music by Byron Gay and Felix
G. Rice. Not only in the book, lyrics
and music lies its great attractive
ness, but there is also the cast to
consider, it being made up Of come

bring out the humor of lines and situa-
lions in a superior manner Ferne
Rogers is well known to some Keokuk
playgoers at Chicago and there is
much to be expected of her, which
plenty in the way Of artistry she most
surely will give. Another of capacious
personality Is Jack Price Jones, whose

bered with pleasure. Then there Is
John Philliber, who proved the find"
of last season, his comedy work in

Bio cperetta Brings Original Cast

Big SHCTSkId S'''So 'S''"'
LeComte and F1esher's successful
musical comedy my Sunshine Lady"
will be the attraction at the Grand
Tuesday evening. Oct. 2sth, with an
important cast of principals and
large chorus of unusually beautiful
girls.
The lyrics to the musical gems
were written by Howard Mckent
Barnes. who is also author of the
book which he has fascinatingly fash
toned from an ancient fairy tale. The
scenes are laid, first, picturesque
fisher-village Of old Brittany's coast,
the famous Riviera" playground Of
France. a Mexican Aztec village, the
green room of the Winter Garden thea
ter and the final scene. the stage of
that beautiful temple Of gayety.
The story is romance of love and
is unwound in novel manner and
abounds in situations Of the cracking
comedy variety enabling the clever
farceurs roIlicking, IL somewhat en-
tangled two and half hours and con.
tinuous round o. diverting experiences
in which to display their Joy making,
musical talents.
Much stress has been laid on the
beauty of the large chorus featured
prominently as "sun-goddesses" and
many commentators have agreed that
they not only look sweet but they sing
and they dance just as sweetly. ~.

A special feature is the Murdoch

something entirely new in that line

found in the average musical comedy.
