So much for the "eyes" "In speaking of the play itself, purely musical comedy, we unist speak with re straint h*st we be not believed.

If we had only seen t lie court scene in the last of the three acts wc should have gone away satisfied, as (Jeurge Hobart has invested it with more humor than we can desetihe in a short review.

At C'wmlen Opera House Thursday I^rmb^r lltli. N?v more pleasurable anticipation has be.eirt ' afforded local' theatre-goers in sev eral seasons than the announcement that Cuutts aucj TenniH' origin^ Cohan Thea tre production "The Kiss Burglar", the most brilliant and fascinating of recent musical successes -in -to be presented at tin' Camden Opera House Thursday, "Dec. 11th. It coin es here direct from a six month's run at the George M. Cohan -Theatre, the birthplace of uiauy <>f the most popular musical entertain ments of the last quarter of a century. Not in years luive the exacting theatre going public found a musical offering so completely to their liking as this tiniest *" musical craze, which early book ings, made previous to its opening on Tlroudway, prevented it running for an other solid year in New York, and the genuine enthusiasm which crowded houses have nciimled this irresistible musical comedy so far 'on its tour in dicates' that its (popularity throughout the country will prove Hot one degree less phenomenal than its record making vogue with all classes of pleasure seek ers in New York. Much of the success of "The Kiss Hurglar" is credited to its fresh and (imely appealing story and effective man ner in which mirth, melody, pathos, and originality bus been harmoniously com bined, while the tuneful songs with which it-, brilliant score abounds will become popular in every nook and corner of the land. The hook and lyrics are from the |M'ii of <?len MacDonough and the music from the pen of that popular American writer, Raymond Hubbell. An enormous company is carried which in cludes the famous "Peacock Alley" oho rus, and the original Cohan Theatre pro duction will make this the season's great j e,st musical comedy event.
