theater. She is growing rapidly and the longer the doctor sticks around, the better off the result will be. f On the right side of the ledger, "Elsie” has the following pleasing attributes: The services of Ada Mead. (Here is a woman who is well versed in stage business.) Some catchy and pretty tunes, such as “Elsie,” “With You,” “Jingle Step,” “I’d Like to Walk With a Pal Like You” and "Thunderstorm Jazz” as done by Miss Mead and others. A snappy storm scene which is used as a unique background for the

“Thunderstorm Jazz” number. To mo this is the hit of the show. The stately services of Maude Turner Gordon as the society mother of the Juvenile hero of the play. On the other side of the ledger we find these troubles: 1. A mighty poor first act. More dancing of the snappy order is needed. 2. Stewart Wilson as Harry Hammond does not fit into the picture. A splendid singing and dancing juvenile is needed. 3. The chorus should realize that the show starts with the first act, not the second.

4. The show is done In one set. That Is a mistake. Am sure that this will be corrected at once. ■"Elsie” has the makings of a pleasing entertainment. The music is "there.” Irma Marwick plays the title role. She is pretty and talented but has not had the stage experience needed, but I am sure that she is headed the right way. She has personality and when she gets a real dancing partner her work will improve. I believe that the career of this little woman has just started. She must work day and night If she Is to win. Don’t give up, please.
