THE IRISH and colored min
critics really get together in the
Schubert show. 1t is strictly a
democratic mixed theme from
beginning to end. The central
figures are the grand old Irish
man, Finian, and his lovely
daughter, Sharon who arrive
from Erin and decide to settle
in Dixie. There the fun begins.
A DIXIE SENATOR, appropri-
ately named Billboard Raw
kins" (Which sounds a good deal
like Bilbo- Rankin) is the villain
of the plot and he turns into a
good man at the end. But be-
fore, the conversion this great
actor (Robert Pitkin), provides
hilarious comedy, especially
when irish magic turns him into
a colored man. You'll roar.
