Marines in Bong ReVue.
All Of as who went down to Quar-
tIco last Thursday night for the en-
tertainment which the Misses Honey
and Georgia Campbell put on down
there for-the marines certainly had
real treatl Quite q few went down
from washington, and ali Of US had
dinner before the entertainment
were guests at the spread which the
officers Of the post gave for the
Campbell sisters at the hostess house.
They tried out at Quantico their
new drop curtain which they are go
/ ing to use this winter. They have
been on KeitkIs circuit, you know,
for several years now. They were
originally just clever and talented
girls Of good old well-to-do Virginia
family that had come to Washington
to live. Upon losing their money
rather their fathers money-they had
to 90 to work, so decided to use their
talents 70 rthe purpose. They used to
entertain their friends who came to-
their house with their singing and
playing, so they decided they would
try to entertain the public in the same
way. And they have been most sue
cessful!
TO get back to the drop, It was love-
ly and quite unusual; was an example
OF what they call "massed art" 1t
was of heavy satin and all black at
the extreme left side OF the stage.
Then It shaded into a midnight blue,
and from that into a peacock blue a
turquoise blue, and on gradually un-
til II was a light blush gray. A eIus-
ter Of, artistic oriental. lamps hung
from heavy chains over the light side
of the curtain appearing to illuminate
that side Of the curtain. An artistic
oriental cover, in which the different
blues predominated, WAS on the
piano.. Both OF the Campbell sisters
sing, and. both play the piano, each ac-
companying the other.
Honey sang Thursday night that
song which has Helped make her so
popular, Nobody Knows Where the
old Man, Goes. and, new selection
which she VIII sing this winter, on
the circuit for the first time, 'Pve Got
Ny Captain. Working for Ne Nov"
That just seemed to tickle those ma,
rines to death! They were crazy
about IL! Georgia's new song, which
she will include in their program
this winter for the first time. II Love !
to Sing a Good Old Irish, Song" also
made quite a hit, and she received en-
core after encore. They are certainly
q clever pair!
They are spending their vacation |
with their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. |
II. H. Miller. at their home, In Mount
Pleasant street, but left town last
Friday for about ten days in New
York. They have gone up there 10 |
see all the smart shows, to order their |
gowns for next season, and TO look
over all Of the new music on the mar |
ket to apd some new material; You
see there are always several hun |
dred new songs on sale every fall, and
they always like to 80 over them, to |
see II they can find something pretty
and. cleyer and fairly new. 49,
At the end of ten days they are
coming back to washington to rest
and practice until about the middle OF
September, when they will open the
winter season at Kelth's :Theater in
Boston. Last winter their tour took
them to the West coast I'll be so
glad when they. come to Washington.
for I'm very anxious to hear them
again. I'll let you know when they |
are playing here, and perhaps we can
go to hear them together. How about
