What Is a Revue?'' Is Being
Asked as the Summer Music
Productions Begin Runs

have gone who wrote and staged those
great musical extravaganzas of other
times. Have they stopped writing
theatrical productions?
The revue, a S you may or may not
know, is an Importation from France,
originally, and was supposed to con-
sist of a succession of burlesqued
productions of parts of the seasons
successes. This is what the "Follies"
was in it's first few seasons. At the
Winter Garden, also, the original idea
of the "revues of 10 so and so" was
that actors should reproduce in
satire and in burlesque the most sue
cessful of the Broadway plays and
musical productions OF the current
or past year. BY many those Winter
Garden performances were said to be
the best Of anything ever staged there.
But the path has been deserted. In
place Of mock performances there is
one long succession of vaudeville in
most of the theaters housing musical
comedy to-day
No one would be so untruthful as
to say that the present vaudevilized
productions are without merit The
fact is that in great many instances
the variety stars have drawn the
greatest amount of praise in the re-
views and criticisms of the New York
newspapers. The question is whether
there Is going to be an end of it, or
whether the vaudeville circuits will be
forced to resort to methods unknown
heretofore 70 hold their performers.

Finds 30 ''Ideal Men" to We'd

the United States who consider them

Colleen Moore, screen star, was
quoted recently by a news service on
the qualifications of the "ideal man"
Before she would consider marrying,
she explained, every one of the speci-
fications would have to be fulfilled To
date thrty-two men have written or
telegraphed to her that they can quail
ify. Long distance telephone calls
even carried some of the assurances to
the young woman. She has not as yet
decided which of them shall be the
lucky one.

Here at our elbow is a people rich
il all the emotional qualities which

blindly pass by on the other side. They
take US on far journeys to distant
lands and remote centuries to capture
some Of the lurid qualities Of feeling
and expression which might be found
IL the very men who run our elevators.
To be sure, the negro appears now

ne IS farcical figure. Our playwrights
assure US that anybody who laughs
and dances must OF necessity be a
happy-go- o-lucky comic figure. In six
or seven New York seasons Ridgely
florence IS the only author, to the
best of our recollection, who has made
any study of the negro except on the
lines of broad farce.
Granted that the negro often uses

ably this is defensive. Of course, we
all know perfectly we'll that there is
negro problem, but our dramatists
make us forget to worry about it by
assuring us that the negro does not
care rap about economic or political
equality if only he can have fried
chicken and a little jazz music. The
theater enables US to overlook every
wrong thing we have ever done to the
negro by presenting him as man
who is having a perfectly hilarious
time
1t cannot be said that Come Seven"
presents any other conception. Its ne
groes are the traditional folk who ask
for our merrment and nothing more.
Scratch any character in the play and
you will catch nothing more than a
burnt cork comedian. Come Seven"
marks step forward only in that it is
written with the confident assumption
that the theatrical public may be inter
ested in a play which deals with negro
characters only. Unfortunately, there
is little variation in the folk presented,
