Have Part in caesars
Wife"-Other Notes.


That already overworked date for
openings, Monday October 6, has been
picked by Raymond Hitchcock as the
psychological moment for which the
world waits-that is the first night of |
"Hitchy Koo 1919" The Liberty The !
atre is announced as the stamping |
ground for this revue, the third in Mr.. |
Hitchcocks collected works. Mr.. Hitch
cock himself will attend the party, sup
ported by ninety-nine entertainer |
mostly girls-which leads the press agent |
inevitably to the conclusion that 1t will
be "a 100 per cent. show" To quote
from an authority-none other than Mr..
Hitchcock himself:
THE peace treaty has not been APP
proved by the Senate, but every member
u my chorus has been approved and rat
lhed by myself

Ruth Mitchell. Florence O'Denishawn.
Betty Braun and Eleanor Sinclair are
chief among those who bear the come
dams rating as first class musical COM
edy risks. In addition Princess White
Deer will head n ballet of real Indian
| girls who will dance like wild women
| from the Iroquois reservation.
! Chief Os-Ko-Mon will be among those
present, doing a Broadway war dance.
Charles Howard. Joseph Cook. James ].
Doherty and Mark Sullivan will provide
the rest of the paleface talent. Cole
| Porter wrote the music and lyrics, and
George v. Hobart slipped bits of the
book into the show wherever he saw
chance. Joseph Urban. Robert Law and
Carmine Vitolo designed and painted the
scenery, and the costumes are intended
to take the chill off the fall weather.
