GERRY" AT 0RPHEUM
Mae Desmond RevIves Billie Burke's
Part ,,

The farcical comedy, Jerry" In
which Billie Burke starred few sea-
sons ago, was capitally revived by Mae
Desmond and her players at the Or
pheum. The locale of three of the four
acts is in a Philadelphia suburb, and
the story presupposes an engagement be-
tween two society people which has
lasted for twenty years, when along
comes the eighteen year -old niece of the
perpetual fiance" and upsets every
thing. There are several big dramatic
moments, but it would be unfair to di-
vulge more of the plot.
Miss Desmond was admirably deft in
the title part, a role which seemed to
fit her quite as well as her predecessor
in the character, and the popular mem .
bers of the company had congenial parts
to interpret. A pretty setting was a
feature.
