Few Real Women Roles
In Musical Comedies.
Saws the New SsIrene'

Irene, the elephant on the dressing
table, did not move a muscle, but Irene,
the shop girl, babbled on and on, like
the proverbial brook.
"There, am talking again, amt II"
she says in the play when, as a So
ciety girl, she lapses into the shop
girl vernacular for moment, and
the same words might have been apro-
pos in the dressing room interview.
But this is not meant as a criticism
of Adele Rowland, who has taken the
title role formerly played by Edith
Day. She talks rapidly, she jokes, she
grimaces, she frowns, but she is al
ways interesting.
"This is one of the few times that
have ever had an opportunity to act
in musical comedy. They never let
a woman act in musical comedy. They
never make her a real character. They
seem to think that all she has to do
is to go on, show herelf, sing little,
and then go off again. could count the
real parts that have been written for
women in musical comedies on the
fingers of one hand. Irene is the first
real, honest-to- goodness part I have

in that I was really myself. went
