JUNE LOVE- NEW MUSICAL PLAY,
SHOULD WIN SOME AFFECTION
Comedy at Knickerbocker Has
Plot Many Reels Behind
the Movies.

The films have now so far caught
up on modern literature for their mate
rial that they are fifty reels ahead Of
musical comedy. June Love-" pre-
sented at the Knickerbocker Theatre
last night by Sherman Brown, was a
sirnplihed reincarnation with several
thousand words added of I'm Search OF
a Sinner" the screen comedy in which
Constance Talmadge several months ago
bobbed her bobbed head !ndustriously.
And last night there seemed TO be q
number OF Constance Talmadges on the
stage shaking their curls and shoulders.
Which means, of course, that the
chorus was pretty. 1t was not only bet
ter than the average to look at. but
1t was handsomely costumed, and when
ever II stood on one leg and wiggled
the other the audience was automatical-
ly moved to applaud. Moreover. II sang
we'll. which choruses don't always do
It warbled resonantly. and best of all.
powerfully. thus drowning out several
demands for encorcs with which num-
ber OF the spectators wished to spoil
the evening for themselves.
The production might have been
nearer puncture proof IL 1t had been
girdled about a better book. which is
by w. II. Post and Otto Harbach. The
libretto would be much better II the
prohibition jokes were dehydrated out
OF II and 1t were buttressed up by some
jokes culled from college publications
Some of them could be shipped right
out of the theatre programme. Occa-
sionally Mr. Harbach geems to get
started on a comic streak. but quickly
becomes winded.
