Orpheum.

Being stranger in a strange land
is as nothing as compared to beng
the only American among a company
of so foreigners, according to Julius
Tanner, the "Chatterbox" now appear
ing at the Orpheum. Mr.. Tanner is in
a position to know, because for period
of several months he was the only
English speaking artist in the Spanish
company that played The Land of
JOY" in New York. Shortly after its
opening the piece underwent a revision
and Mr.. Tanner and several other
Broadway players were added to the
cast. One by one the Americans
dropped out, until by the time the show
was ready to depart for the provinces
Tanner was. figuratively, "all alone"
And then, according to the glib tongued
monologist, the fun began.
Il thought" said Mr.. Tanner when
seen in his dressing room at the Or
pheum, that because of my past ex-
perience | would be eminently suited
u understand foreign language, and
that ] would be very much at home
among the Spanish Lillian Lorraines
and Marillyn Millers, but to my dis
may ! found that Madrid is a far cry
from New York, and that the brogue
of Potash & Berlmutter, In which
played for two seasons, differs greatly
from the Spanish in the Land of JOY"
Il did have a merry little time while
on tour with the company. They ap-
parently knew no professional jealousy
and from that standpoint everything
was lovely"

New Lyric.

Despite the fact that somebody must
have burgled some of the kisses of art
from THE Kiss Burglar" a musical
comedy which opened at the Lyric
Thursday night, such is the charm of
the music, such Is the beauty of the
stage settings and the work of one or
two of the comedians. that one might
steal an hour or two-if he had nothing
else to do--and enjoy the production If
he should carry little of the milk of
human kindness with him when he
goes.
Patricia o'Hearn. leading lady, would
be a good star were the play Bertha
the Sewing Machine Girl" so far as
histrionic ability is concerned. Now
and then she sings fairly well but she
seems to be the physically disabled for
anything save dancing. She should put
the muffer on the exhaust to her voice
and comply with the automobile ordi-
nances within the city limits while es-
saying to sing.
The real savior of the piece is Willie
Dunlay who with Bud Murray has the
only really cleverly arranged travesty in
their temperament song in the Sec
ond act.
A musical director adds charm to the
piece and not a little amusement by
baton. He can't help the sore thumb,
of course. but it compensates and adds
to the charm of the performance.

male lead, has a pleasing % caliber
