AT THE

"THE FRENCH Sl'Y"
Those who saw "The French Spy"
at the moving picture show last
Thursday evening enjoyed a rare
treat. It was almost as good as wit
nessing a real play. The picture leils
a story in p pantomime ol a stirring
war drama during the campaign of
tlie Fundi in Algiers. The svci:w
are all intensely dramatic and the
inteiv.-t of the spectator is maintain
ed to the lrghest pitch throughout the
picitue. Several other good pictures
were shown hi audition to "The j
French Spy."

Speaking of "Forty-Five .Minutes j

Forty-Five Minutes from Broad
way." easily one of the brightest
things that ever evolved from tin
brain of George M. Colmn, came again
10 the Auditorium last night and was
well received by a fair sized audi
ence. -Mr. Bert Leigh, featuring as
"Kid" Burns, scored as the slangy,
big hearted product of The Way and ,
Forty-second street. Tht> company j
gave an entertaining production gen- j
erally speaking. As a matter of fact {
there is so much good stuff in Co- j
han's musical play that it has to!
"get across" with an average amount j
of pushing. "Mary is a Grand Old j
Xante," "Forty-Five Minutes from i
Broadway" and "So Long Mary" are I
indeed about the tunefullest items
that have sprung from the White
Way in these seven years and time
does not stale them overmuch.
Mr. Leigh worked faithfully and
with good effect as the "Kid." A little
more moderation would improve him.
but he has genuine talent and good
looks. Miss Burgess* "Mary" was
sweet and sympathetic. Mr. Roque
more's "Tom Bennett" was very well
done. Mr. Ward was the villain to the

Raleigh News and Observer.
"Bert I.eigh and his big company in
"45 Minutes from Broadway" appear
ed at the Academy of Music last night
for the first time. Too much cannot
be said of the success of this attrac
tion. as it is one among the best
seen here.in some time. Thomas Ben
nett. a young millionaire, inherited by
the death of his father, is about to
marry a young and pretty chorus
girl, who with her mother visit the
estate of Bennett in New Kochelle, N.

j .1 good one.
Mr. Leigh has surrounded himself'
with a first-class company, a corking |
-;ooJ looking chorus oi men and wo- |
:nen, and a production that showed j
.:>.e earmarks of a brand new metro
polis Jirst night. As Kid Burns, he
played the part of a tough New Vork

. I actum and true to life. .Mr. Leigh
s an excellent actor and deserves

reer in the musical comedy. Her two
ongs, ".Maiv is a Grand .Name,' and
So I.oiifi Mary.' are gems, and she
handles them both with much grace
:nd voice. She won many friends af
ter rendering these two numbers,
from the applause she received. Hen

lias a rich baritone voice, far above
the average. Bertha Xoss. as Flora
Dora Dean, is exceptionally good in
her portrayal of the wife-to-be, and
Shirley Mayberrv, as Mrs. David Dean,
played hor part with much emotion.
The remainder of the cast is evenly
balanced and are all very good. The
chorus girls are very pretty, good
voices and pretty costumes. The
chorus boys. also, were very neatly
dressed in their many changes.
Mr. Leigh is to he complimented on
bringing such a capable company and
production to this city, and it is hoped
he will he an annual visitor, as his
work with both 'The Man on the
Box' nnd '-15 Minutes from Broad
way' will linsror long in the minds of
Raleigh theatre goers."
