"OH DADDY"
i
"Oh Daddy" is the name of a new
[ musical fun show in which Clarenct
I Backous and Grace Manlove, will appear
at the Opera House one ni';ht
Monday, March loth. "Oh Daddy"
I t *
[was written by Richard C. Maddox
and is designed wholly for laughing
purposes. It is broadly farcical in
character and is enlivened with
Paddy's Dainty Darlings (chorus).
There being some twenty musical
numbers introduced during the play,
'written by T. H. Willhite who gave
the public so many popular songs. If
'you hear some folks whistling an inpirniatinc
little tune, with a smooth
drag followed by a skipping lilt, yon
know lie was one of the lucky one?
who saw and heard "Oh Daddy."
! Much is said nowadays about the
tired business man" and his need
for light entertainment for evening
I
recreation and cure for brain fag.
iAfter hearing the dross of the past
few seasons, which lived for a day
and expired, it is a wonder that the
! 'tired business man" didn't become
exhausted.
"Oh Daddy" is a first class musical
show with a high class company
and needs not the customary press
notices of "300 days in New York,"
I tc. The performance is sufficient in |
; tself-in company, story, costumes
.nd scenery.
Kilroy and Britton, Managers and
.Owners, have assembled a clever cast
and a. hard working, c-xcellcnL
ling. The music is all good, but there
Rainbow Wid
? ow," which pops up through out the
show and sets everyone in the audience
humming or swaying in time.
"Oh Daddy" is a dancing show,
everybody dances, chorus and principals
and from the number of encores
demanded, dance lovers in the
: audience might easily master many
' of the steps. Seats on sale at Box
"offie, phone 200. Prices 50c., 75c..
' $1.00, $2.00 plus war tax.
