Miss Angelus
Charms us
Merry Widow
BY CHARLES GENTRY

IN MUSICAL step with cur
rent trend for revlving operettas
of the early 1905, the Shuberts
have brought back THE Merry
Widow" in slightly different guiseI
to the Cass Theater.
They have taken considerable
liberties with the dialogue and
with the plot so that you may
not quite recognize the lady at
first, but you'll find her just as
tunefully entertaining.
For the title role, the English
beauty, Muriel AngeluS. dons the
picture hats and Merry Widow"
trains which made the heroine OF
the Franz Lehar operetta such a
picturesque favorite.
Miss Angelus, besides being
very beautiful, also has a lovely
voice, fact the films seemed to
have overlooked while she was in
Hollywood. Her singing Of the en-
chanting Villa" for example, is
really most effective.
FOR SMOOTHER DANCING
She seemed quite nervous at
first, but soon warmed to the role
although she isn't quite graceful
enough to handle the famous waltz
and other dance numbers.
Compared to the chorus. how
ever, she seems like Danilova. The
dance numbers really could be
much smoother, and probably will
| be after more rehearsal.
John Moore, the very present
able Prince Danilo, hasn't strong
enough voice for the role, unfor-
tunately, and it turns out that
Donald Clark, one of the lesser
lights. walks off with the male
vocal honors.
His duets with Helen Arthur
are splendid, especially in The
Day That Love Was Born"
OLD COMEDY FRIENDS
Comedy rests on the familiar
shoulders of FlorenZ Ames and
Detmar Poppen, the usual diplo-
NAL duo of musical comedy and
upon the long and lanky legs OF
the dancing coincidence. Melissa
Mason.
Alteration of the original story
and certain anachronisms in the
dialogue have robbed this version
of The Merry Widow" of some
of its nostalgia charm, but moth
ing can lessen the appeal of its
music, especially when it is sung
as well as it is here.
SPECIALITY DANCERS
Besides the chorus OF Maxim
girls, there is a very talented lit
tie ballerina and Jack Stanton in
terpolates that clever ballet tap
routine of his.
They could use a larger or
chestra although Pierre De
Reeder does excellent with the
men he does have.
The production will be here fol
p two weeks and is then slated e
, spend the summer in Chicago.
