Sam H. Harris and Irving Berlin Will Send Their MosJ Elaborate Production to English’s as New Year’s fl Week Feature Attraction. SHE fourth annual “Music Box Revue” comes to EnglisW for the week commencing next Monday, with matineel Friday (New Year’s) and Saturday. There are twenty-eight scenes of color and imaginative! settings. It seemed incredible, when the last “Music Box Revue” was presented, that another approaching it in lavishness and bigness could be exceeded, but now comes this fourth edition that surpasses all the previous productions, it is claimed.
The new show discloses not only a big mobilization of spectacular surprises, but the company of "talented specialists in this extravaganza is the most surprising collection of artists that has ever been gathered together in any of the 3am H. Harris and Irving Berlin previous revues. The dominant note,of the revue Is beauty, for which the "Music Box Revue” is famous, and, from the rise >f the curtain on the looming CatMils. and Rip Van Winkle, awakening from his long sleep, comes down to New York to see the incredible and glowing succession of tableaux such as only a master of stage-craft could translate from dreams into dramatic realities, the show is Interesting. John Murray Anderson is the magician who has staged, this dream come true, and Irving Berlin has again composed the score. The cast of principals includes Fannie Brice, Clark and McCullough, Oscar Shaw, Lottice Howell, Ledova, Brox Sisters, Runaway Four, Bud and Jack Pearson, Joseph Macauley, Wynn Bullock, Frank Allworth, Rudolph Malinoff, Irving Roee, George Clifford, Dorothea and Naida, Henri Permain, and Thomas Draak, as well as the chorus, famed for beauty and as generally fetching a chorus as ever appeared in a revue. •I* I-!• "ROSE-MARIE” TO FOR A WEEK "Rose-Marie” which completely charmed rapacity audiences here last season, begins a return engagement at English's on Monday night, Jan. 4th. "Rose-Marie” ha* everything—drama, pathos, thrilling and beautiful music, extraordinary dancing and a full measure of comedy provided •by Charley Sylber as “Hard-Boiled Herman,” Betty Byron, who is about the daintiest little thing that has tripped across our stage in the last dozen years, and Arthur Cunningham, as Sergeant Malone of the Royal Mounted Police: Cunningham again distinguishes himself with his powerful nnd vigorous singing and few will forget his stirring song of the. Mounties and the twelve real he-men behind him. Os the songs, “Rose-Marie” AMUSEMENTS
and “Indian Love Call” sung by the manly tenor Guy Robertson and Virginia Johnson, are the big son* hits of the show. Miss Johnson has a voice that is perfect in range and sweetness; powerful, colorful and full of true artistic feeling. The dances by David Bennett are full of rhythmic action and at times border on the sensational. Sibylla Bowhan continues to captivate her audience by her graceful and athletic dancing. Here is a dancer who charms. Miss Bowhan dances right into the hearts of her audience. The*“Totem Pole” number has a perfection and precision of novel maneuvers that Is truly astounding, and there are many other colorful dance arrangement*. H. Pierre White as Emils La. Flamnie, the brother of Rose-Marie, ha* a splendid baritone voice and Is a convincing performer. The story of the play is laid in northern Canada with the Royal Mounted French-Canadlans and Indians In the background. Rose-Mac rie is the darling of a mining camp In Saskatchewan and her love affairs form the plot of the story, together with the unraveling of a mysterloua murder. For the love of her Jim Kenyon renounces his old life, hut his old bad reputation brings suspicion upon him In the murder of Black Eagle. Ross Marie in order to protect her lover renounces him and consents to a marriage with Edward Hawley. But through the efforts of "Hard-Boiled Herman” and Sergeant Malone and Wanda, the Indian girl, the mystery is cleared up and the true lovers are united on the steps of their rose-covered cottage. Rudolf Frlml and Herbert Stothart have written a ecore that is unquestionably the best of years, and with the symphony orchestra is a delight to hear, Mr. Stothart will come from New Fork to direct. WEATHER HELPS DWAN Aided by perfect weather, Allan Dwan has completed the first week of filming of “Sea Hoorses,” giant sea spectacle, taken from Francis Brett Young's story. Florence Vidor, George Bancroft, William Bancroft, William Powell and Allan Simpson, play Important parts.
