"TANGERINE" CLEVER
AND ENTERTAINING
MUSICAL COMEDY

"Tangerine,' presented at the JEFF
ferson theatre last night, is one of
the cleverest and most entertaining
musical comedies seen on the local
stage in long time. Git has prac-
tically all the qualities that good
musical comedy ought to. but seldom
does. possess. The music is much
above the tinkly stuff that SO many
composers write, often a mere rehash
of airs that have been heard before.
Some of the "Tangerine" music may
have reminiscent note, but it Is
none the worse for that. Besides
number of songs it is a pleasure to
near, there Is plenty of wit, humor
and satire in the piece and the COM
pany has the requisite talen TO bring
out all the best points of the dia-
logue.
Julia Sanderson is, of course, miss
ing from the cast, but to those who
have rot seen the original company,
"Tangerine" does not suffer on that
account. Loretta Sheridan as Shirly

ORCHESTRA SCORES
BIG HIT At LOEW'S

An audience that filled the theatre
to it's capacity thoroughly enjoyed
the program of Paul Whiteman's Ro
nance Rhythm Orchestra at
Loew's Bijou Thursday night. Five
numbers were given by the group
Of players who bore the magic name
Of Whiteman and each was applaud
ed vigorously.
The selections given were Who'll
Come After Me?" Meditation" from
"Thais,' Suffering "Barcarolle."
from "Tales of Hoffman" Don't
Bring Me Posies" and Hot Lips"
The two operate selections probably
were most effectively done, although
the antics of Alex Hyde contributed
much TO jazzler numbers.
I.oew's doorman was confronted
with a problem that would not have
been spurned by a Second and Tween
tieth traffic policeman. Crowds gath
cred to hear an orchestra of the
renowned whiteman brand and
crowds went away with smiles Of
satisfaction.
If another number on the bill
might be called feature--a sort of
sub-feature effect. then it was the
gymnasts- contortionists, La Toy
brothers. Their feats of bending,
twisting and otherwise agile manipu
lation of limbs were worthy of the
title of 'headliner" on a less pre-
tentious bill.
Birdie Kreamer, singer and imi-
tator., was loudly applauded. Her
mimicry especially that of a Hawaii
an guitar, was puzzling and enter
tanning. Morley sisters did some good
comedy singing. although they did
not appear in blackface makeup as
per schedule.
