Jessie Coming H. Lawrence Weber will present “Little Jessie James,” known as “The Little Giant of Musical Comedy," at the Murat in the near future for a half week. One of the features of “Little Jessie Janies” is the Janies Boys, a Paul Whiteman Band. This musical comedy conies to us aftej- successful engagements in New York. Chicago and Boston, and we are promised a very fine cast and production. Harry Archer, who wrote “I Love you.” the song hit of L. Riwrence Weber's musical comedy "Little Jessie Janies," became an international character recently when his song hit was brodeast from England to America by the Hotel Savoy Orchestra and was heard in this country by a number of those who were listening in

The name of the play is "Saneho Panza.” and the chief character is that genial squire of Don Quixote made famous in Cervantes’ novel. “Don Quixote de la Mancha.” But while that in Itself holds unusual interest to 'he lover of literature, the hardened playgoer will be somewhat astounded by the announcement that “Saneho Panza” is in reality a gigantic spectacular produc tion with a veritable whirlwind of music, songs and dances, lavishly costumed by Jerome Reynolds mo ie-sb the mar. who furnished the fantastically bizarre wardrobe of the Ziegfeld "Follies.” With Whiteside l I 1r j I ■< , ' ~ ! f l i . • - ' • a I i ;r f | i -* $ 'i .
