Miss BANTER is at her fetch
INCEST in act two which slides
back to the Fifteenth century
through the whimsies of the
dream girls dream. She is de-
cidedly cute in a makeup that
favors Peter Pan and Robin
Hood. Her best number is II
Want to Go Home" and she
also shares a very decent ac-
count with Walter Woolf in
"My Hero"
The taproom scene in act two
is colorful, reminiscent of Cap
tain Applejack. It suffices to
introduce a medley of old songs
by a dozen merry male pot
tossers, led by the robust-voiced
John Clarke.
The piece was adapted from
"The Road to Yesterday" and
in the adaptation it has found
its rightful place. Music al
ways excuses fantasy and Vic
tor Herbert's music actually
makes the book seem weaker
than It is; or maybe it's the
wholesale punning.
Outstanding musical numbers
are "My Dream Grip; Broad
Highway; "Gipsy Life" and
my Hero"
J. C. Huffman has done q
neat job of staging and the set
tings by Eleanor Abbott and
Watson Barratt, are pretty and
pretentious.
Since this is the final week
of the Poll season (barring be-
lated moves by Providence and
the Shuberts) "The Dream Girl'
is a fitting vehicle to shunt US
out into the open with pleasant
