BLUE LAWS FAILED
IN ANCIENT BAGDAD.
The story of "Bagdad" tells the efforts
of the Caliph to make every day a blue
law Sunday. The ruler issued an edict
in which any person found with hair
/ tonic or other drinks upon their breath
were punished with death. Nobody was
allowed to sing even jazz songs-death
was the penalty. And the most terrible
part Of the edict was that no man could
/ spoon or make love with the girls of the
country.
The Grand Wezeer used the edict in
! the absence Of the Caliph as a means
to eliminate the Walee Of the Police
who was in love with Koot-El Kuloob,
! the favorite dame Of the rulers harem.
/ The Grand Walee was beating the time
Of the Grand Wezeer with the favOrite
SO the Grand Wezeer hires a beggar by
the name of FL SAINT to pose as the
| Caliph. The conspiracy nearly succeeds
as all the political enemies of the Grand
/ Wezeer were caught drinking white mule
| spooning or singing.
! The Grand Wezeer had 1t planned that
all the guilty ones were TO suffer death
with the exception OF the rulers favOrite,
when the Caliph himself appears, saves
the victims from death and throws the
/ Grand Wezeer in prison and chains
Everybody is happy when the Caiph
admits that the blue laws are failure.
/ The ending, Of course, is a happy and a
gay affair
! That's the clever little story Of Bag
dad" The story is unf0l1ed In a fairy
/ land OF beauty. Each scene was really a
marvel in stage art.
The part Of the Grand Wezeer was
/ splendidIy done by RoItare Eggleston,
as were the other chief characters. It
is needless to repeat the praise I have
given the Arab patrol, the chanters, the
gun squad as We'll as the drum and
/ bugle corps, as these organizations can
/ not be equaled or approached any place
/ in this country. In my fifteen years Of
! reviewing shows. never have I seen a
! better drilled organization than Arab
Patrol. They don't make EN- any bet
/ ter.
One Of the melody hits Of the evening
was the song Of Otto Krauss, called My
BaEdad Love" The jazz" song favor
lite was Gee Gee Of Fiji Isle" as done
by Al Ho1rmeister. The Murat Chauters
Of course were excellent John Coll
brought the house down with Becky
from Babylon George Z. Gin presented
skeleton dance in The Cave Of Spirits"
which resulted in a we'll earned encore.
Nearly forgot to tell you that this
/ Oriental spectacle even had a camel -"
4 oh, mercy, yes. Parts Of the camel"
