Atlanta, Gu, Show Critic Pays High
Tribute 10 slave A Heart" Com
Ing Here Wednesday.

Ralph T. Jones, dramatic critic OF
the Atlanta Constitution has the fol-
lowing to say Of "Have A Heart" COM
ing TO the Washington on next We'd
neday:
The remarkable part about the per-
J Torrance of "Have a Heart, at the
Atlanta theater last night, was the
smallness Of the audience.
When 1t Is remembered that this
same show was here last year ana
when the charm Of its music, the abil-
ity Of its cast and the beauty Of Its
feminity are all considered, 1t Is hard
to understand why q capacity audi
ence was not present.
But is wasn't by many seats, al
though 1t Is doubtful II that fact de-
tracted at all from the enjoyment Of
those present.
Have Heart" contains the most
whisteable airs Of any attraction that
has been here since Going Up" 1t Is
blessed with delightful cast and al
so-but that deserves special para
graph.
All the way through the first act
the writer was obsessed with the feel
ing that there was something unusual
ly attractive about the show. Maybe
a natural slowness of perception was
to account for the delay in analyzing
the cause, but finally it dawned-the
bunch of girls who grace the COM
pany are exceptionally well selected.
from pulchritudinous standpoint.
Individually, Individually!
Joseph Keno, as the elevator boy,
is easily the central figure among
the comedians. He is very funny and
his dancing is, as the gentleman in
the next seat remarked, full of pep
His partner, Grace Hoey, a~> Dolly
Brabazon, the movie queen, is fully
qualified from head to toe for her
work, and employs every part OF her
ability acceptably.
Every member of the cast is fully
adequate and there isn't disappoint-
ing moment throughout.
There is one lady, however, who
came near stopping the show. She
Just wouldn't encore, but 1t wasn't
because the audience didn't try. Per-
haps if the crowd had been larger she
would have succumbed to large vol
ume of applause, but 1t couldn't be
more sincere. This lady is Rosie
Green. She only appears once, but
when she does. She is a dancer
and it is impossible to say how long
she is on the stage, She dances with
Keno, the elevator boy, and she Is
whirlwind. Time stopped to watch
her antics and when she left the stage
it was impossible to know whether
she had danced for one minute or ten
The big song hit is "You Said Some
thing" and there were at least half
dozen encores last night. The ensem-
BILE work and lightning effects are eX-
ceptionally pretty in this number. 9th
err good numbers are Look In His
Eyes," "Samarkand," Honeymoon
Inn" and Daisy
The settings are attractive-lin-
gerie features the first, and there Is
at least one pair of ladies' hose dis
played on the counter that 1t would
be pleasant to see we'll filled. The
costumes are fresh and beautiful and
the dancing is electric. The orches-
ira is enlarged by the addition of half
a dozen new musicians-the piccolo
and flute man attracted lot of COM
ment-and with every feature consid-
cred the show deserves full for the
two remaining performances this az
ternoon and night
