QUAKER G IRHL'WILL
COME HERE AGAIN
Delightful English Musical Comedy to
Be Presented at Whitney, on
January 23.
CHORUS GIVEN GREAT PRAISE
Music lovers of this city will be]
glad to learn that they are once again
to have an opportunity of witnessing
that delightful English musical comedy
success "The Quaker Girl," which
created such a sensation when pre-
sented here last season..
There is little use in telling you
about the opera. The book is by James
T. Tanner, lyrics by Adrian Ross and
Percy Greenbank and the music is
by Lionel Monckton, authors and
composer of "The Sunshine Girl," "The
Girl From Utah," and all the London
Gaiety theater successes. John P.
Slocum, the producer, has spared no
expense in gathering together a not-
able cast to present the opera this
season, which is headed by that well-
known English comedian, Charles
Clear, from the Gaiety theater, London.
Miss Katherine, a pretty young miss
of 17 years, will be seen as "Prudence."
This is Miss Murray's first year on
the stage and her rise has been very
rapid. Great things are predicted. for
her. Miss Helen Hoyt, late of the Opera
Comique, Paris, will have the prima
donna role. The balance of the cast
will be the same as played here last
season, and includes such well known
people as Andre Corday, Harry Mac-
Donough, Madeline Dailey, William
Blaisdell, Charlotte Hoffman, Murray
Stephen, Dorothy Slaytor, Sinclair
Young, Charlotte Manning and Phil. J.
Moore. They will be assisted by what
has been termed by the leading critics
as "the handsomest and best singing
chorus in America."
There are 24 song hits in the
score. A few of which are "Come
to the Ball," "Tiptoe," "When the
Right Girl Comes Along," "Tony From
America," "Fairy Tales," "A Bad Boy
and a Good Girl," "Take a Step" and
"Just as Father Used to Do."
The engagement here is for two per-
formances, Saturday matinee and'
night, January 23.
Rowland and Clifford's big LaSalle
opera house, Chicago, success is com-
ing in 'all its glory. Girls? Well, we
should say so. Cute! Good-looking!
Good voices! Dancers of the tango
and hesitation waltz kind! A large
bunch of principals well known to
the music loving public and identified
with all big musical comedy suc-
cesses, which includes such names as
Leo Greenwood, Hazel Shannon,
Adelyn Estee, William Cameron, John
Patton, Fred Du Bois and others.
The music is of the catchy, whistling'
kind that sends you home in a joyful
mood. Among the many song hits
(sung only in "September Morn") we
find: "When a Little Boy Loves a
Little Girl," "In Berlin," "Oh, You
September Morn," "Everybody's Tango
Crazy," "A Spare-Rib From the
Butcher Shop of Life," "Beautiful
Dreams I'm Dreaming," "The Sun
Shade Girl," "Where Is the Pleasure
in Wine and Song if the Woman Is
Not There?"
Summing it allup, it's a great big
musical show that goes with a bang
and a rush, put together to amuse
the muchly abused theater-going pub-
lic. A company of 50 is underlined to
play at the Whitney theater on Fri-
day, February 12. The seat sale
starts Wednesday, February 10. Mail
orders from suburban patrons will be
filled in order received. All orders
must be accompanied by cash or a
money order.
GUY VOYER IN "MY ('INJ)ERE1LLA
GIRL."
Guy Voyer, who will be remembered
as the star of "Bright Eyes," has for
his vehicle this season William Nor-
ris' big Whitney theater musical suc-
cess, "My Cinderella Girl," which is
a college play on the order of "The
Dollege Widow," only it pertains to
baseball instead of football. Principals
in the play all take the characters
of college boys and girls and other
zharacters necessary in a college play.
LOUIS MANN IN "THE BUBbLE"
Louis Mann is soon to be seen here
in a new play by Edward Locke, "The
Bubble," which is said to be of un-
usual construction and one providing
a great amount of genuine humor.
Mr. Mann will be seen in this city at
the Whitney theater, Friday night,
January 22.
Those who keep in touch with af-
fairs of the stage are well acquainted
with Mr. Mann's accomplishments as
a character actor, with few, if any,
equals. He is looked upon by many
of the best dramatic writers as one
of the cleverest and most artistic
interpreters of characters which is
now identified with the stage. In
Mr. Mann's company is Mme. Mathilda

One that you can take your mother,

managers have tried to book return
engagements everywhere. This is the
