by his guardian spirits, his girl secretary
and his business friend. The hero safely
emerges in the nick OF time to carry on
his concert and carry on his bride, who
is, of course, none other than the score
tary person.
II. Cooper Clitfe, a. Harrison Lloyd,
is the II will" business genius of the plot,
swapping out epigrams and smoothing out
threatening situations in approved Wal
lingford style, playing the part almost as
weil as Mr.. Cohan himself would do it.
Marion Coaklcy, AZ the devoted score
tary, has the charm Of youth. but tho
handicap of 'staginess,' which indeed
pervades the cast, so far as the first and
third acts are concerned.
The second act however, Is different,
thanks to the old school training of Fuller
MelIish, as Gasparo, the violin mender,
and Howard Boulden, as Salvatore Ven
neto, whose art Of impersonating character
stands out by contrast, :.
In this second act lies tho real sig
nifcance of the play, as a play; whether
so designed or not, it offers q sincere
tribute to the genuine power OF music,
exemplified by those who feel it and live
in and bv it instead of exploiting or merely
talking about it. A lovely cello solo and
off-stage vocal and violin selections fea-
ture it rs well.
Incidental characters are stunningly
carried by bevy of stage beauties, who
pour upon the stage st the end of the first
act like the populace on a screen produc-
ton and are literally too numerous to
mention.
The hero, Philippe Trava, portrays
the emotional violinst with earnestness
and shows no mean skill with the violin,
in a short incidental selection. Frank
Otto, as the manager, gave an excellent
impersonation of the role, and Viola
Leach, as Madame Trava, and Katherine
Stewart, as Madame Loriola, were ar
tistically effective during their brief mo-
ments down front"
