STELLAR DANCINGIN
 MY G|RL,' PARSONS
Nimble Feet, Unusual Music,
 Keep Audience Cheerful
tBy Herald RevIewcr.l

Certain tests may be applied to musical comedies by which their merits may bc determined. In order 10 measure up 10 modern standards they must have intriguing music, uu- usual dancing and smooth contin- uity. Ny Girl" which opened weeks engagement at Parsons thcS- ter, Hartford, last evening responds larorably 10 each of these tests.
 According to mythologists, Tcrp- | sIchore lived and died cons and cons ago. If there is such thing as the transmigration of the soul of a god | dess of past ages to theatrical per formance of the twentieth century, this had been effected. Tcrpsichorc, tho goddess of dancing, has been brought back to earth and is holding open house at Parsons this week. My Gtrl' is the dancingest show that has appeared on the stage in several seasons. From hcadincrs to chorus girls, each member of the company is far above average in skill.
 Leading roles arc well handled by Miss Edna Morn. Gertrude Clemons, George Sweet, Joseph Wagstaff. Miss Jayne. Auburn. John Byam, Harry G. kccnan, Margaret Armstrong, Roger Gray, Patrick Rafforty and Harriet Ross Misses Morn and Upton are charming in their char acters. Mir. Sweet, with a difficult part, does it well. Joseph Wagstan will be remembered as a popular mmber of a former Poli stock com pany. The applause which greeted his appearance bespoke welcome back 10 Hartford. Miss Auburn as the worldly, cynical wife, was splen- did. Roger Gray hit the bull's-cyc every time he came ont Irom the wings. Miss Ross made m imprcs- sion for tho short time shc was'hr- fore the audience. Miss Gertrude Clomons, as Lilly. the maid, also pleased.
 And now for the chorus. II isn't supposed to be the orthodox thing .to name the chorus. But what is or thodoXy nowadays? The eight mem hcrs of the chorus are Barbara Grace, Evelyn Kinder. Ann Kelly. Helen Thompson. Marea Kcrns. Thclma Holiday, Mildred Wahl and Geraldine Ecavard. All were picked for their ability as dangers. Tho producr had eight chances to mako mistakes. ITn didn't mako one. (Watch tho girl on thc right cnd)
 But that isn't all. "My Girl" car ries it's own orchestra, the Harry Ar cher ochcstra with Paul Parnoll con- ducting. Here too is an assembly of artists dCsorvjlg of special mon iion which helps to make tho show tho perfect entertainment.
