THE ELKS GREET THE RIGHT GIRL
Musical Burglars at Keith's-Other Stage NeUs

!. The Elks turned out last night in good
-Iy numbers to welcome 1.-The Right
Girl" q musical comedy, which was
brought to English's for a three-day en-
gagement by Frank Cruickshank, Tor
mer Indianapolis newspaper man.
During the lean theatrical season, that
is from an audience standpoint, it does
one good to look around a theater ana
see something besides empty seats. Inc
EIks have staged numerous parties but
last nights audience was larger thah
usual.
This show makes its bid for favor on
several catchy tunes of the whistling or
der. such as Things 1 Learned in Jersey,
I'VE Were Made to Love- Loves Little
Journey and Oriental Serenade." There
are other numerous numbers In the three
acts of the play.
.aThe Right Girl" is not a pretentious
production. The principals include wade
Booth as Anthony Stanton who is IN
lucky In love: Dave Mallen, chap VINO
has the makings of clever eccentric
comedian 1.-THE audience liked him last
night as Henry watkins; Dorothy Tier
new as Dora Darcy; Edna Bates as Molly
Darcy and PAMELA Bradford whose
speciality seems to be classical toe dane
ing.
a
entire play and concerns the efforts OF
stanton to win the love of Dora Darcy
II takes three acts for Anthony to con-
vince her that she is the right girl
Miss Tierney, Miss Bates, Mr.. Mallen
ana Mr.. Booth found the going rather
easy in several song numbers, especlalIy
under the title Of Harmony" while
singing some parodies Of a catchy and
tuneful nature.
Miss Bradford, who was seen recently
in the city in Honey Dew, has
chance to do some dancing IN TWO
speciality numbers. Near the end OF the
show, she appears in a ballet costume
and for g few seconds indicates that she
should be given more Of that sort OF
thing to do. She has a pleasing per-
sonality and in time we are going to
hear more Of her. She should be given
q solo dance during the Oriental Sere-
made" number in the third act. She is
popularizing the first part Of her name,
PAMELA. She is known as Pam and her
dreams are coming true. She has worked
theoretically on the stage and her work
IN 1.-THE Right Girl is a suggestion of
more pretentiOus work in the future.
1.-THE Right Girl was formerly tried
out under the title Of Maid TO Love" 1t
has at least three splendid song numbers
which any show would be glad TO
possess. The chorus is not large but
sufficient to meet the demands of the
musical score.
One thing sure, one can take his
mother or sweetheart to 1.-THE Right
Girl" and not be ashamed OF it. That is
saying a whole lot these days.

CONCERNING
LADIES NIGHT"
Those who have tired Of bedroom farces
may have a change by seeing a bathroom
farce at the Murat the first half of this
week. 1t Is called Ladies' Night" and
the action takes place mostly in a Turk
fish bath on a night set apart for ladies'
This gives an opportunity to display q
number Of shapely forms and some not
so shapely clad mostly in bathing suits
and towels.
The lines are broad, very broad There
is hardly a laugh in the whole affair and
the situations are simply indecent with
out being humorous.
A few words should be sufficient to
give an idea of the nature Of the farce.
A young married man who is bashfuI
when he is in the presence of women
wearing decol1ette dresses refuses to go
out with his wife on this account. After
discussing this situation to some extent
and examining a few such dresses, with
the women in them. he decides TO 20 with
two cronies to Bohemian party on the
theory that If he sees a great deal of
such things at one time he will not be
shocked at the undressed appearance Of
women at society functions. The ball is
raided and in an effort to escape the
three men, dressed IN fantastic costumes
climb into the window Of a Turkish bath
on ladies' night. There follows the bur
lesque show type Of performance that
might be expected.
On their return to the home Of the
bashful young man a woman follows
them demanding a shawl that has dis
appeared. OF course, the young mans
wife finds her and explanations are de-
