the week with Stokowski and the
estimable Philadelphians, it was
not until Saturday evening that
Mrs. wilson Greene drew back
the curtain on what she promises
to be one of the most brilliant
and interesting musical feasts
under her management.
For the gala opening, which
she has deliberately kept gala"
by the presentation of no less
than five artists in a three-in-one
concert at Constitution Hall she
offered talent ranging from
Met" tenors to the worlds
greatest harpist.

The show is balanced nicely
with two good comedians in the
person of Jack Lamont and
George Wagner, two good singers
in Frank O'Rourke and an un-
billed man, two good speciality
dancers in Gladys Leland and
Billy Hamlet, and trio of
comely misses. Sally Van. Madeline
LaVerne and Leila Leta. Joe
Lang carries the burden of the
straight man.
Jack Lamont relies upon the
dry humor for his success, and

About his pet show. THE Tav

no better than quote what the edi-
torial columns of the Boston Her

ut is good news that George
M. C0han is to give ''The Tav.

more delicate satire on the
American stage thriller has
never been presented. and there
IL no difficulty in believing the
report that this play Is dearer
to Mr.. COhan than anything
else In which he has had a
hand.
George M. COhan is essen.

for all his singing and dancing

Marquis is fundamentally not q

philosopher. Just as he hits off

Yankee Doodle man is blithely
hitting off the foibles of his
fellow citizens in the jazziest of
his plays. If he had been born
to wealth and old family tradi-
tiOns, and had gone through

training, he would probably
have won a place in the drama
higher than that Of Eugene
O'NeilI, A. w. PinerO. George
Bernard Shaw or Clyde Fitch.
And If Shaw had done "The
Tavern" the people would
probably have hailed it as the
finest bit of restrained, satirical

''HOw will the Philip HaIes Of

COhan's achievements? He has
composed scores Of songs and
written or shaped twOscOre

cOmpIishments are set down in
the order of merit, probably
'sThe Tavern" would be pretty
near the top. Not far away
