equipment and service, and would at

helpful and commendable.

United States Jazz Band were given
splendid send-off at keith's just be-

little over a year ago, but it did not
compare with their reception last
night at the same theater. The audi
ence wanted to show it's appreciation
of what the lads had done. and at least
a half dozen curtain calls brought out
additional popular airs. At the con-
clusion Ensign Alfred J. Moore was
brought before the curtain to make
numerous bows in acknowledging the
enthusiastic reception. The band not
only plays well as a body. but there
are exceptional soloists in the or
ganization, and their offerings were
given the most enthusiastic applause.
In the jazz numbers everybody entered
in the fun. and the laughter was al
most as loud as the applause.

Ozark Rosaleen.

An Irish comedy in three acts is the
latest offering Of David Belasco. with
a Capital city audience officiating
once again as his own particular
mascot. Dark Rosaleen" is the
name of the play. 1t refers to a
horse. The little black mare is clev-
erly managed by authors and pro-
ducer. She has nothing to do except
to be her own handsome self and re-
ceive the applause naturally due the
exponent of the titular role.
There are certain inevitable lines
on which an Irish drama must pro-
coed. The authors of the play,
Messrs. Hepenstall and Kane. have
tossed the characters about a little,
but the avaricious landlord. the i'm
pulsive but affectionate parent about
to be evicted and the sweethearts
whose love story provides wealth for
present eXigency as we'll as happiness
for the future flourish in this Belasco
production as verdantly irrepressible
as the shamrock itself. There are
touches of modernity. The twining
OF the green and yellow to make the
racing colors for Rosaleen is a sug-
gestion of conciliation in matters
ing's entertainment, however erudite,
could settle offhand. Allusions to the
sorrows of Ireland were inevitable.
Tradition is inexorable, and without
to have a real Irish play.
The charm of the play is largely
pictorial. This is likely to be the
case when Mr.. Belasco presides. Only
one scene is used; the general store
selling everything from small beer
to wagon wheels, in an Irish village.
1t is shown with an inf1nity of detail,
an accuracy of costuming and con-
sistency of character types that re
new the thought that had not Mr.
Belasco been moved by early circum-
stances to turn his interest to the
stage he would have been a master
of brush and canvas. Every scene is
a study of the Ireland of today. with
a brisk youngster over from Chicago
to point contrast not merely III ap-
pearance and speech but in manner
of thought. The pretty sweetheart.
Nova. as played by Miss Huban. is a.
fascinating portraiture and the quar-
relsome old parents and their cronies
are full of the warm -olooded Sentl-
ment that may at moments notice
turn a fight into frOllc. when con-
troversies threaten to become tragic.
the spirit of equine sagacity asserts
itself.
1t is Dark Rosaleen who Impresses
the moral of the play, with reminder
that horse racing provides quite
enough differences of opinion to sneet
the needs of temperamental argu-
ment. The play calls on MISS HuDan
to hold the stage with some lengthy
and spirited speeches, and In these in
cidents she displayed a f1exibility Of
mood which gave additional attrac-
ton to a portrayal that was at all
times graceful and vivacious. Each
role was a deft delineation. The play
is another page. in the great Belasco
picture book to which the American
public has so often turned for some
thing which sincere taste could study
and enjoy. j.

supporting company. The secondary

'0h, Uncle!!"
The author of "Oh. Uncle" the Shu-
bert musical comedy which opened at
Polrs last night, seemed desirous of
giving the stage a distinctly wet"
play. He has. "Oh. Uncle" is some
what reminiscent of old-time fun Of
the broader description, with the ir-
responsible antics of old John Bar
leycorn as a somewhat responsible
factor. The laughter is uproarious.
This play has continuity of plot
with which the tuneful musical num-
bers do not interfere. Although based
almost entirely on alcohol, and its
effects, it affords an amusing evening 8
entertainment, and evidently did not
seriously offend the patronage drawn
from a bone dry town.
Sam Ash gives a skillful impersona-
tion of the gay youth who is deceiv-
ing his supposedly puritanical uncle.
He has an excellent voice. Maxine
Brown makes a pleasing sweetheart
and Connie Ediss, Nancy Fair. Bert
Hanlon and Lew Cooper also are pro-
ficient.
Jack Rushton who comes into his
conducting a gay bachelor establish
ment in New York without the
knowledge of his uncle. whom he i'm
agines an exceptionally staid old man.
The uncle shows up without warning
at a party and while Jack disappears
behind the piano is entertained by his
friends and proves himself no drink
evader. He succeeds in taking aboard
a considerable quantity of the fiery
stuff and under it's influence invites
the party to his home at Cemetery
Corners the next day.
OF course the whole party shows up,
and after shocking the village folk,
Jack and his uncle are forced into a
mutual confession and Jack is free to
marry his sweetheart, who is the star
of the Boulevard Girl Company.
The plot is not strikingly novel, but
the capable cast gives it a touch of
originality. James McElern, as the
camoufaged purity leader. makes the
most of the funny situations and is
an actor of ability. The songs are
pleasing and were well rendered by
the company, Sam Ash and Miss
Brown scoring particularly in "A
Dainty Little Girl Like You"
