MUSICAL COMEDY
FORESTS OPENER
"She's a Good Fellow" a Light
and Bright Enter
tainment

The central theme. Of shes a Good
Fellow" the musical comedy which
opened the Forrest last night. is one
that might have been developed to the
point of offensiveness in hands less
skilled than those Of Miss Anne Cald-
we'll, the librettist. She, however, by
differentiating between the latitude al
lowed the contriver Of musical Comdy
books and the license that over
steps bounds has produced an enter
tainment that any granddaughter could
take her grandmother to without blush.

A young naval officer is introduced
into a young ladies seminary for the
purpose of extricating his wife, mar
ricd against the wishes Of her guardian
from captivity under the wardcnshir

ond the attempted escape of the I'M
INJURED bride through the ingenuity OF
her husband. whose experience in anna

course, the complications of the earlier

Miss Caldwell has given more plot
! and better morals to her librctto thar
is customary these later days in musica
comedy. Her audience, which filled
the theatre, seemed very much delighted
with the offering, part of the credit fol
which belongs to the excellent produc
ton and personnel provided by the pro
Queer, Charles Dillingham;, and the at
tractive stageCraft and drilling Of Free
Latham and Edward Royce. Jerom
Kern S score seems to have more melo
die originality, variety of trcatmen
and musical substance than anythin
he has done of late seasons. The "Firs
Rose of Summer, " Teacher. Teacher
and I've Been Waiting for You All tn
Time" are of the almost vanished
whistleable sort of tune.
Joseph Santley. as the lieutenant an
later the good fellow" girl, does tn
female impersonatiOn with just the righ
touch of awkwardness and travcsty
His dancing is graceful and his sing
