When “The Cry Baby” had its first metropolitan production some three seasons ago it was quickly recognized as the type of comedy drama that appeals strongest to the masses of the people, possessing irresistable charm of theme and story, and hence when Mercer Brothers decided to take it out for a road tour they in a measure anticipated the success it has achieved, but its popularity with theatergoers as a whole was not fully anticipated and came as a surprise to the producers. This season they are presenting the piece on a more elaborate scale than ever before, giving careful and painstaking attention to every detail that goes toward making a successful play in those days of big productions. The play will be seen at the Bosse opera house Wednesday, January 26th, with the popular young romantic actor, Charles W. Gey, supported by a strong company of metropolitan players, in the title role. Mr. C. W. Gey has never had a part better suited to display his ability and artistic talent than is offered him in the title role of “The Cry Baby,” and and the same can be said of every member in the company. Special scenery Is used for each of the four acts, and the settings are said to be stage pictures of elaborate nature.
