sunshine" shed its rays upon
packed playhouse last night. The play
Is a pleasant medium for the witilcisms
and fun literally distributed by the
popular star. Mr.. earle dances and
sings with agile grace and with songs
interspersed by colloquialisms Of his
own clever manufacture.
What are we going to do?" a pro-
hibilion lament, Is one Of Mr.. Carries
most effective songs In the play.
Treat EN- rough, that's the sluffW a
recipe for getting along happily with
the women folks, as sung by earle and
two men principals, met with favor
aud laughter from the audience especi-
ally TIE married men, The comedy,
especially the quips Of the star, kept
The audience laughing through the
evening.
Teck Murdock, a long-legged young
man seemingly without a bone In his
body, accomplished some Of the most
gravilation-defying dance stunts ever
achieved on the Playhouse stage. His
elastic gyratiOns were acknowledged Dy
.hunders OF applause.
Gertrude Alexander was one OF The
most satisfying sights on the stage.
She is plump, dellciously pretty and
vlvacious, and has the mentality TO put
real acting into her part. With more
leading women like Miss Alexander,
musical comedies could be constructed
20 please both high-brows and Jazz
fans in the audience.
The music OF sunshine" has sew
eral melodies above the average In
merit, and two CT the cast have really
beautiful voices. Caroline Andrews and
Francis de SOria received large share
Of the audiences appreciation for their
excellent singing. Love is Like This
Wheel" by Miss Andrews, and Mr.
de Soria's mateador song, were features
Of the play.
A Spanish dance by Rosita Mantella
AGAINST an effective background, show
ing the Rock Of Gibraltar and green
Mediterranean, was the most artistic
feature OF Sunshine" She dances with
a true appreciation OF the beauty tha'
should be the vital part Of any dance
The same cannot be said or the
'shimmy" shivered through by Chris
tine. Although wildly applauded, d
could have been toned down with much
more pleasing effect to many benoiders
