IRENE

To a person never having seen the
musical comedy, Irene" the play at
the Grand last night was an attrac-
tive production but to the theater
goers who saw the show in Topeka
last year it was several shades below
the standard set here in 1921.
Irene" is, under almost any con-
dition. a musical comedy worth any
time and price. 1t huns with tuneful
melodies, it demands action in it's very
score and there is enough OF a plot
and a love story to satisfy the most
ardent lover Of love.
The outstanding song hit, of course,
is Alice Blue Gown" The song is
getting little worm to be sure, but it
is still plea ing. The company play
ing Irene" here last year put life ard
action into the '.Sky Rocket a lively
tune with unlimited stage effects
Last night the effort was almost dull.
Irene Dunno, who played the part
of "Irene," is a stunning girl of Irish
appearance, pretty voice, attractive
smile and sufficient acting ability.
Beatrice O'Connor and Mary Moore,
two more Irish girls, apparently, up
held the dancing end of the show with
much favor from the audience. Busby
Berkeley as Madame Lucy the mo-
diste, was a better dancer than his
predecessor in Topeka last year but
he didn't have the effects of his
office. Charles Jerome Massinger
had the best voice on the stage and
You" was one of the prettiest hits Of
the evening. But the preparation for
the Sky Rocket cut off a much de-
sired encore.
Irene" will live a long time as a
musical comedy favorite.
