A1I1Cd gave eLlCIluS1aSClc welcome TO
special companies that were organ
lied for those countries.
It's plot is one of universal ap-
peal, detailing with a liberal license
in favor of humor, incidents that
might happen to the sailors of our
navy.
Beginning with a scene in a popu-
lar little coffee house on the naval
dock at Newport, r. l., one is made
acquainted with it's popular young
proprietor, Looloo, and it's "gob" pa
tronS-notably Bilge Smith. This
rough and ready habitue of the
place has won high distinction in
the favor of little Looloo, and she
makes it Enthusiastically plain to him
that her heart is his for the mere
asking for it.
But Bilge is so sophisticated in
the ways of girAS of many nation
alities and clines that it takes a
good deal of evidence and whole
evening Of incidents to make him
realize what a lucky chap he is.
And in the meantime the story
takes him and his shipmateS to
China, where the girl follows him,
and the scenes literally bulge with
stirring events and the characters
and the chorus sing and dance to
the delight of the audience upon
the slightest opportunity.
Mr.. YoumanS, who wrote the
score, and even made the produc-
ton as his own venture, had COM
posed some very notable scores for
other successful musical comedies,
is credited with excelling all his
previous efforts in this instance.
1t is hardly necessary to point
out that "Hallelujah" and Some
times I'm Happy" which have be-
come favorites wherever the phono-
graph or the radio machines have
found a place, are a part of the
original score of Hit the Deck"
Dancing feet have responded to
their musical lure all over the world.
The company that will be seen
here is headed by that delightful
little favorite, Queenie Smith, whose
name has become indissolubly iden-
titled with the character of Looloo,
and the sailor lover is played by
Charles Purcell.
The other important characters
will be interpreted by Juanita Chef
alo, Polly Mara, Jackie" Paige,
Mary Jenkins, Charles Mitchell,
Charles Fowler, Eddie Russell Jr.,
Jack Willis, James Dempsey, Hal
Gibson, Lee Flung Foo and others
who have been identified with the
production of this delightful must
cal comedy from its earliest showing.
