At the Grand.
Thank you, Mr.. Cort, come again. That
was the expressed opinion of the whole
gang that saw this years production of
Listen Lester last night. 1t was a goodly
gang, too, better than the one who saw a
much poorer company with the same show

thing to Topekans after last nights offer
ing and will draw a big crowd when 1t is
used with any future attractions.
a cast. The company is a rebuilt model
of the original New York outfit Fred
Heider, upon whose comedy and comedy
dancing in the part of William Penn, jr.,
the success of the whole piece depends, is
the original Mr.. Penn of the original Gotham
presentation of the attraction. To say that
he created a riot last night is putting 1t
mildly. Miss Jane Roberts is another of the
originals and it is toss up, whether her
dancing and acting was more appreciated
than Heider's.
Listen Lester is one of the best of the
modern musical comedies, which depend
more on comedy and dancing than music.
What music there is in the piece is good
but there is none of that tuneful melody
that sends the crowd away humming and
whistIing that the productions of yester-
year invoked. To late to criticise the
work of the constructors, but it might as
well be admitted that all the best stuff was
placed in the first act and that there is
certain amount of drag to the second
which even the best of artists cannot coun-
teract. The chorus shown here last night
was niftily dressed, well trained and as to
looks, with one exception, cuddlesomely
good looking.

OTTO HARBACH, WHO IS
PROLIFIC AND VERSATILE

Certainly no one can deny the JUS
tice OF the adjectives "prolific and
versatile when applied to Otto
Harbach. author OF mo More
Blondes" the new farce, founded on a
story by Edgar Franklin. which A II.
Woods will present at Polls Theater
next week.
There are few playgoers who have
not seen some work OF Mr.. Harbach's
incessant and interesting pen. He
has not only written many things but
many kinds of plays---librettos, come
dies, farces, and serious drama.
A long time ago he adapted the
famous Madame Sherry" for Mr..
Woods. Perhaps he is best known by
the long series of musical plays with
which his name is identified. These
include "Katinka," You're in Love.
High Jinks." Naughty Marietta"
THE Firehy," Going Up" and "The
Little Whopper."
Perhaps not so many people remem-
Der that the he wrote THE Fascinat-
ing Widow" and "The Crinoline Girl
in which Julian Eltinge scored his
first great successes on the Legitimate
stage under Mr.. Woods direction.
Mr.. Harbach is also co-author OF
''Up in Mabel's Room" which ran an
entire season at the Eltinge Theater
New York, and is now touring the
country with extraordinary success.

LIONEL BARRYMORE'S
UNUSUAL new ROLE

The part which Lionel Barrymore
will play in "The Letter OF the Law"
the Eugene Brieux play John d. Will
Jams presents at the Shubert-Garrick
next week. Is one contrasting sharp
ly with the character he played in
THE Copperhead." In that work he
played an American of a certain type
and a very true type. In "The Let
ter of the Law" he plays a man who
is more thoroughly cosmopolitan.
While Mouzon himself Is a French
man his prototype exists in almost
every race.
IAN actor can often make play
a success and in like measure there
Is on record the fact that plays have
made actors famous. But whether the
play or the player be the living :orce
in developing the success the charac-
ter must have truth for it's great
basis" said Mr.. williams in discuss
ing the new part Not only must
there be truth in the playing or the
play, but that truth must be easily
recognized by your audience. II 1T IS
not recognized readily 1t loses it's
force and effect.
"Mouzon in The Letter OF Law is
an internationalist. He is the sort OF
man who can be found in every COM
nunity. To be sure he may not be an
administrator of justice, as happens
IN this case, but that does not detract
from the fact that he docs exist

he holds because all people know and
