Musical Comedy Changes.

produced by my friends, who followed
suit
The public is extremely Interested
in the youth of the stage. The style
of music has been completely revolu-
tionized. What was considered good
music a few years ago Is way out OF
style. Sweet. pretty and refined
music is great, but unless 1t has a
jazz finish the public won't take 1t
at all.
Summing it all up, styles in the
theater have changed much and will
change still more, for our American
public is getting more high-strung
each year, and they will want snappy
entertainment to keep them on edge

" A UBURN LOCKS" says Margaret
"A Livingston, ''are as much q sign
of dependable as the Yale variety,
only more ornamental, don't you
think?"
Margaret believes that the famed
Trojan Helen Is as much responsible
as any one in history for the repu-
tation that has fallen to titan haired
women since her time.
But then adds the vivacious star.
you have to hand it to her for start
ing the Trojan war and keeping it
going for 10 years! You'd almost
think she was Irish!'
Another thing in favor of the red
haired miss" says Margaret, "is that
she has the energy and pep her
blonde and brunette sisters lack.
That, they say, is due to climatic
differences in the origin of types and
cannot be attributed to the color Of
the hair. It's there. nevertheless"

THE style OF theatrical entertain
ment has changed SO much re-
Gently that looking back at produc-
tions of 10 years ago the comparison
is rather startling. Especially in
musical productions is this the case.
II have watched the musical pro-
duction business grow from a crude
state to one that is now highly de-
veloped," says Lawrence Weber.
Time was when chorus men were
positively essential to a musical
show. but today chorus man is not
needed. the public does not want to
look at him, and he is constant
source of worry to a manager.
:, II do not believe In the great
massive musical production with @hs
enormous cast of principals and
chorus. True. the public wants to be
entertained, but if you don't give
them the story as we'll as the music
In the musical show, all the theatrical
stars of the country will not make
the show a success.
II believe l was one of the first
producers to put on musical attrac-
tions with small casts and only cho-
rus girls, a violation of theatrical
tradition, to point out the fact that
the story and music are the things
which count.
