Develops Talent.

WHEN it comes to discovering tai.
ent. Gus Edwards, who is pre-.
senting his latest production, Ritz
Carlton Nights" at B. +. Keith's The.
ater this week, is the composite of
Sherlock Holmes, Hawkshaw and Old
Sleuth, to say nothing of the modern
detectors.
BY profession Edwards is a writer
and producer Of song revues. The
latter are usually of the juvenile va
riety and his search for talent in the
most part Is for juveniles. He has
found and developed more clever chill
dren than all of the other managers
together. Many Of the popular prima
donnas and comedians of the day be.
gan their training as youngsters with
Edwards.
George and Cuddles, two OF the
cleverest stage children, were discov.
cred and developed by Edwards. A
list of the vaudeviilians who began
their stage careers with Edwards
would almost fill book. A few of
them are Lew Brice. Lillian Gonna
Eddie Cantor. Herman Timberg. Daisy
Leon, Vincent O'Donnell, Dan HeaIy,
Lillian Boardman, the Duncan sisters,
Lillian L0rrain and George Jessel.
Wherever Edwards may happen to
be, he makes it point to devote
aportion Of his time to interviewing
stage aspirants. Whenever a boy or
girl presents himself or herself and
he or she appears to possess talent,
Edwards makes 1t q point to keep in
touch with them.

II would also hand out a printed

than having some people hum so loud

And then. too. why shouldn't some of
those who paid for their seats have
the opportunity OF publicly singing q

NATIONAI-"ShOw Boat"

Tuesday night at the National The
ater, Florenz Ziegfeld will present his
newest production, "Show Boat" an
American musical play based on the
novel by Edna Ferber. This announce
ment will cause more than usual
interest, for thousands of people
throughout the Nation have been
thrilled by the charm of the "Show
Boat" story, it's tense plot, its exuber-
ant humor and picturesque setting.
Before casting this musical play, Mr..
Ziegfeld spent months considering
various stars qualified to enact the
difficult roles.
To say that some of the most gifted
artists of the present era are con-
cerned in the production is undoubt.
edly true. In the first place. the
composer and author of "Show Boat"
are responsible for some of the great.
est hits the American public has
known recently.
The music is by Jerome Kern. who
wrote the scores for "Oh Boy"
Sally" sunny" Stepping Stones"
and other successes. The book and
lyrics are by Oscar Hammerstein, II,
who cOllaborated on "Wildfiower,"
sunny" Rose Marie" 1.-THE Desert
Song" and others. The settings-and
there are IA of them-were made by
Joseph Urban. who painted the scenes
for Louie the 14th," Rio Rita" and
other Ziegfeld hits, as well as some of
the most elaborate settings for the
Metropolitan Grand Opera House.
Charles Winninger, one of the most
humorous character comedians of the
stage, plays the breezy captain.
Norma Terris. who has the part of
the lovable heroine. Magnolia, has
rarely been outside of New York City,
where she has been the hit of "A
Night in Paris" "A Night in Spain"
and other important productions.
Howard Marsh, who plays the part of
the engaging gambler, Ravenal, was
the original Student Prince" and
more need not be said of his voice,
appearance and acting ability. Eva
Puck and Sammy White, gifted char
acter comedy and dancing team. are
also in the cast. and others are Helen
Morgan, recently the prima donna of
the Scandals: Aunt Jemima. robust

have not asserted themselves in pop
ular entertainment got energetically
into action last week. Fritz Lieber
joins Robert Mantell in demanding
recognition of Shakespeare on the
boards original terms for his work.
that of popular entertainment. Like
Mr.. Mantell, Mr.. Licbcr thought a
dollar seat was enough TO ask. He
found the Auditorium large enough
TO accommodate generous patron
age and proved that in meeting the
unceasing demand for certain
amount of Shakespeare per season
he is we'll qualified 10 assume the
leadership which each generation ac-
cords to only one or two classical
actors.
The President threw open its
doors with THE Black Hussar," that
good old Milloecker opera, as the
first OF a series of light musical pro-
ductions that are expected to fulfill
dream long cherished by 7. Arthur
Smith, that of bringing back the
comic opera that still had kinship
both with comedy and with opera.
When musical entertainment slipped
along into musical comedies, disre-
garding the customary forms, and
producing such plays as THE
Geisha" and The Runaway Girl"
murmur arose against the subordi
nation Of what was termed real
comic opera. Comic opera disap-
pearcd almost entirely. This may
have been due to the satire of
more or less political nature in which
many clever lbrettists were prone to
indulge. The old German adage
What can't be said may be, sung"
was relied on to the fullest. At any
rate. Impresario Smith has free
hand now. Any political points
which might have aroused prejudice
have been erased by the hand OF
time.
One OF the auditors who particu-
larly appreciated the real comic
opera so charmingly revived was
lady whom this city had claimed as
its own especial operate star; one
for whom crowds waited at the
stage door after each performance.
Jeannic Winston as FRA Diavolo"
seemed as much an institution as
the Summer season itself. Her pres
ence at the opening night of "Thc
Black Hussar' made a pretty touch
OF sentiment which linked in her per-
sonality the old comic opera produc-
tions and the new.
