PHAN TASY FOR
CHILDREN AT
BELASCO

Every child in Washington
from s to 6O--should see The
Gingerbread Man current offer
ing Of the Savoy Musical Comedy
Company. at the Belasco Theater.
This is a broad and inclusive
statement. of a kind dear to the
hearts Of amateur writer's and
thinkers. but the proof can be
seen at the playhouse.
"The Gingerbread Man" is q
phantasy in which the charac-
tiers from Mother Goose come to
life with lifting tunes and much
broad comedy. The plot is OF the
slimmest. as 1t should be in a
thing Of this kind, but it is just
the sort of story. for all that. to
please and delight the children.
And IL there Is any public
utility official in washington this
week who wants to atone In some
slight degree for what he is. he
could do no better thing than
buy seats at this show for every
orphan child In the city.
The production Is well staged
and the costumes which are
many and varied. are all that
could be desired.
Robert Capron, cast In the role
of "Carmelita. Very Fairy
Queen" throws himself into his
part with commendable gusto.
The part Is heavy with broad
humor and Capron does most
excellent job of 1t. He Is to, be
especially congratulated that In
this role Of a buffoon he stayed
strictly In character throughout,
showing that there Is the blood
OF 4 real actor in his veins.
Miss Renee Hamilton, as Jack
