Musical Comedy Swings Audience
Along in Happy Laughter.
The Kalelgh News and Observer, of
Sept. 30th, commenting on the appear
ing Of "The Ked Hose,, in that city,
and which cornea to Camden, Monday
evening, Oct. 11th, says:
"It whs a hig and delighted audience
it tbe Acadeipy of: Music laqt night
which applauded the exceptional of
ferings (iikI laughed In harmony with
jbc mirth found in "The Red Rose,"
a gay and musical comedy of the
Parisian art quarter which tunefully
and humorously- sang and danced its
way into a pronounced success. The
score of Robert Hood Bowers and the
book of Harry B. and Robert B. Smith
were In the keeping of a clever com
pany which gave a performance of
dash and brilliancy.
t "Full of brightness and with a snap
'Ot - ? -
from start to finish, "Tim Red Hose"
brought pleasant surprise on pleasant
surprise to Ralqlgb theatre goers. In
the principal ' role of Loin, Miss Mar
guerite I)e Von carried the burden
of the performance, of course, her
singing and dancing winning at nil
tildes. Yet there are others, and she
was given a close race for first place
In popularity by several in the cast,
notably by Miss Edith Carlisle in the
role of Ciyp. In the comedy division'
Maurice Darcy and George Williams
were laugh makers in the roles of
Alonzo Lorimer and Silas Plant, parts
in which they have been constantly
winning audiences for the past throe
years. Karl Stahl, who rendered the
character of Baron Leblance, ami is
well remembered here from his engage
ment with Grace von Stufford In "The
Paradise of Mahomet" won fresh lau
rels last night. Jethro Warner, a tenor
with an exceptionally fine voice, Is
another who Is well known here, hnv- j
Inj? ' been with the original east ofj
"The Prince of PJlsen" when It was j
tlrst on tour In the South. I)oUald
Archer, who gave n particularly fine
Interpretation of the funny English
chappie* was last seen here with James
Ti Powers in "Ilaviina," ami Wlllmr
Oux, who added to the humor in the
role of Spiegel was here In "Alina;
Where Do You Live?''
"From a musical standpoint "The
Red Hose," Is a notable exception to
works of Its kind, having a long list
of line numbers, twenty in all, ranging
from light, frivolous catch-the^ear
jingles to compositions which ? such as
the finale ensemble of the second net,
for instance ? get into the class of
grand opera. Among the numbers par
ticularly well sung last night were
"IJohemla," and "Roses and Sunshine,"
these being given numerous encores,
while Miss De Von and. the men who
assist ed ma do u distinct hit lit "Men,
Men. Men."
"The delight of the music was added
t?i I v .the dancing, tills featuring
strongly In the run of the sljow, the
wildly popular fox trot l>eing given
Its whirlwind Inning In "The Students'
Glide" numl>er, this having to he re
lientcil time and again In response to
vigorous applause. In scenic features
"The Hcd Ilose" in particularly effec
tive, three most complete settings he
ihg shown. Following on the drahs
and sombre shadings of the lirst^ act;
interior of a typical artist's studio,
the brilliant and colorful second act
setting made an especially tine impres
sion. The costumes also are of v rich
ness and quality to reflect credit, ev
erything spick and span and new. And
the chorus of pretty young girls, with
fresh and tuneful voices, added a zest
to every part of the enjoyable per
formance."
