For many years England has had a splendid recipe for the building of a musical comedy. Take a half dozen librettists, throw In a playwright or two, season with three or four musicians. dash in a handful of Bong writers, stir well and serve with a chorus of girls r.ud the result Is a London Gaiety success. At the George M. Cohan Theater In Manhattan last night Frederick McKay tried the recipe.

The auswer was "The Wall Street Girl," and she was anything but a Joy for the poor tired business man who was only too anxious to give her a royal welcome. Though the recipe may produce excellent results In England, there Is a grim suspicion that there were entirely too many cooks connected with the latest Blanche Ring show. According to tha programme, Margaret Mayo and Edgar Selwyn are responsible for the book. It needs two playwrights to carry the burden of such a monstrosity. The lyrics are by Hapgood Burt and the musio is credited to the late Karl Hosch-na.

So ran the programme, but a glance at the list of musical numbers showed that Jerome and Schwartz, Brown and Ayer, Jones and Daniels, Mc Carthy and Plantadosi and oue or two others all had a hand In the writing of the songs of the latest musical show. With such an array of talent it is surprising that so stupid and uninter esting a piece could have crept upon the stage. As a rule Blanche Ring may be aepunded upen for at least one song hit She always seems to find one of those catching melodies that in the end become an abomination to all mankind. Last night, she worked hard with several numbers, but not one had the real keynote of success. The best were "I Want a Regular Man," "Whistle It" "Deedle-De9-Dum." The story of "The Wall Street Girl" Is one of those bashful little tales that hides its head long before the first act Is ended.

It bobs up at odd moments In the following acts, but like the modest little violet, It never Intrudes, and stays Just where It has been put by a busy stage manager. It Is something or other about James Greene, a Wall Street man, who Ns' anxious to see a prizefight at Reno. The broker has ho son, so has brought up his daughter Jemima as though Bhe were a boy. Shades of the Amazons! Protect us from such a child as Jemima. Miss Ring plays the part and In the first act she looked like the late Johnstone Bennett In her famous role of "The Female Drummer." In that mysterious manner, known only In stageland, the entire company lands in Reno during the second act and there they Inspect a mine and Bee a prizefight.

That scrap waB well worth crossing the continent to witness, for never In an Eastern ring have such strange characters passed as fighters. Sam Harris, who before his theatrical days managed the only Terry McGovern, sat In a stage box and actually cracked a smile. The Reno act was forgiven, as it was the setting for the only hit of the even-nlg. Will Rogers, well-known and liked by the patrons of burlesque houses, gave his lariat performance and caught Broadway by storm. Not only Is Rogers wonderfully clever with the rope, but he Is a comedian who should be given a real part In the play.

However, he was left In Reno when the performers trooped back to Fifth avenue for the final act of the piece. Harry Gllfoll, with his usual Imitations, supported Miss Ring. He played the part of James Green, the Wall Street man. William P. Carlton was excellent as a broad-shouldered Westerner, and little Charlie Sllber made a hit as Pinch, the office boy.

GROUCH AND WELCH PLEASE. Adele Ritchie heads a well-balanced bill at the Bushwlck this week. Her act is short, but full of life. She rendered several new songs in her usual fashion, and was assisted by the audience when called upon by her to join in the chorus. The honors of the evening went to the comedy dancing oddity, ably presented by Grough and Welch.

The feminine member of the combination was a clever and dainty dancer, and George Welch kept the house In a continual ripple of laughter by his antics. George V. Hobart's German character sketch, "Mein Llebchen," was well acted. Gus C. Weinberg and Joseph Prosser were two really human German characters, and Mabel Carruthers portrayed an up-to-date slangy department store salesgirl without overdoing the part.

Radford and Winchester, In a comedy Juggling act, made a favorable Impression on tne audience, and their work was high class. Ed Morton, In his latest repertoire or up-to-date songs, was forced to return several times before his listeners were satisfied. Hayward and Hayward. In their sketch "Holding Out," mixed a lot of comedy with a little pathos In a manner which made their piece Interesting. Kaufman brothers, comedians and sing- ers, talked too much and sang too little.

They should cut short some of their trite chatter In favor of the songs, which they sing well. The Musical Cuttys arc still nonular. 1 Rosalre and Doretto are comedy acrobats of merit.

alS 24 ml 8 16 23-flt SPECIAL NOTICES. OLCOTT'S "MACUSHLA" OLD-STYLE, BUT GOOD Irish Play of the Typical Kind Is Well Acted at the Broadway. a SOME FINE IRISH SONGS. Chauncey Olcott Sings Them When He Isn't Busy Foiling- the Villain. Some Rich Humor.

Chauncey Olcott's new play, "Ma-cushla." by Itlda Johnson Young, was brought to the Broadway Theater last night, and It Is entertaining In the way that Mr. Olcott's pieces always are, with songs delivered In his pure lyric tenor sandwiched between bits of warm-hearted Irish sentiment and wit in the text. Fa miliar material was used In the building of the plot, which involved the broken fortunes of Sir Brian Fitzgerald (Mr. Olcott) and his coming to America to begin life anew. Spice was brought into th main movement of "Macushla" by the scheme of Sir Brian to recoup standing debts by plunging on his horse, Macushla, I in a race.

Naturally, the wicked villain! of the piece was an Englishman, who had what proved to be the next best horse, and who tried by various foul means to prevent Macushla from winning, but Sir Brian in the nick of time discovered the tricks of the villain and toiled him in good, old-fashioned melodraraatio style, meantime, with the experienced and finished art of Mr. Olcott, maintaining good humor in a way that appealed not only to his Celtic hearers, but to everybody in the audience. Very spirited was the race scene, off stage, when Macushla, a real horse, foam-flecked, came into view on the stage In the rear, amid cheers of the winners of bets. Sir Brian himself rode the horse to victory. Mr.

Olcott had several new songs, all of which were applauded, and especially the song "Macushla," which be had to sing three times. The inevitable love story concerned Sir Brian and Patricia Boyer, daughter of his liousekeeper, the girl having been brought up as a boy playfellow of Sir Brian, when he was not a "Sir'1 at all, but just plain Brian, who came unexpectedly Into a title. Katherine Clarendon, as Pat, as she was termed, was true Irish In her Impetuosity and mercurial temperament and was certainly pretty as she took her place at the Bide of Sir Brian in the last act, where Fitzgerald stands In a balcony of his castle and, looking toward the audience, as toward the peasantry, makes his farewell address on leaving with his bride tor Amertca. Charles 'W'ellesley, as the wicked Englishman, waB bland and yet forcoful, and his companions nn the adjoining estate, Gwendolyn Fairchlld (Carolyne McLean) and Lady Dorothy Hammond (Ilka Marie Diehl), easily carried out the English atmosphere In their respective roles. Jennie Lamont, as the mother of Patricia, contributed Irish verisimilitude In the role of a faithful adherent of the for tunes of Sir Brian and she shared with Mr.

Olcott in the characteristic, pithy Irish dialogue. Her diction was admirable and every arrow of wit shot by her hit the mark. Introduced as a minor character was Sandy McNabb, the Scotch overseer of Sir Brian's estate, nnd Robert V. Ferguson in the role was another hit In the piece, the cannlness of the race being shown with delicious humor. Carrol Daly, as Wiggins, a messenger of the English would-be spoiler of Macushla's race, and Georgo Brennan, as Dlnny 'O'Mara, in the employ of Sir Brian, were adequate.

A good bill Is seen this week at the Shubcrt which now has continuous vaude- ille provided by Marcus" Loew. This is the second week that the theater has had this popular vaudeville and the people seem to enjoy it. Last night's feature was Frank Bush, the Hebrew comedian. A clever fast comedy dramatic sketch entitled "The Wild Rose" Is presented by Gertrude Dean Forbes and company. Sampson and Douglas present a singins and talking skit.

A pretty act is presented by WInklers Military Dancers. Caron and Herbert, comedy acrobats, kept the audience laughing. Singing of merit Is heard from Helen Vincent. Dynes and Dynes present a Juggling and singing act. Motion pictures are shown after every net.

VAUDEVILLE AT PAYTON'S. George Sloane Opens His Summer Season at, the Lee Avenue House. Payton's Theater, on Lee avenue, last night witnessed the inauguration of vaudeville and the always popular moving picture show, under the management of George Sloane. In the face of the fact that such exhibitions have multiplied in Brooklyn like daisies in a summer meadow, a fair audience was present to enpoy the first night for this house of the new line of entertainment. Mr.

Sloane had eight moving picture reels, Including a number of scenes in which Western broncho busters played a leading part. The vaudeville numbers Included Grace King, a banjo player: Royal Russian Sextet, dancers and singers; the Harringtons, acrobats; Al Ma-reener, singing and talking, and the Evelyn Sisters, singers and dancers. ALL PRICES MARKED IN PLAIN FIGURES HOME- FURNISHERS FOR I a a of to to as by by a her 1 ttt IS FAIRLY GOOD FUN New Musical Comedy at the Majestic Moves Briskly Most of the Time. GEORGE MURPHY AS GEORGE. A Good Comedian In the Leading Role Vera Burt, Brooklyn Girl, in the Cast.

"Let George Do It," a musteal comedy founded on the theme of the George McManus drawings in the Sunday papers, was put on at the Majestic Theater last evening. The author, according to the programme. Is Aaron Hoffman, songs by Paul West and Nat D. Ayer, and stagings by Al. Holbrook and other talent.

Most of the time It Is a lively, briskly moving piece. Some of the songs are pleasant, none of the tunes unduly exciting, and the plot of the action, that crops up intermittently, is neither log-lial nor well but that is tne privilege of the musical comedy plot. The programme calls It a "surprise comedy," though whers the surprl.e eomes in Is not easy to understand. The principal fun maker Is George P. Murphy, as "George, th6 Janitor." One couldn't help laughing at his grimaces.

He Is forced to assume the role of a young doctor, whom he Is led to believe he has killed in a duel, and his bur- lesques on the medical profession, if not very subtle, are at least funny. Later be mimics the lawyers In the same way. In the last scene he appears In a sweeping Parisian gown of a purple hue, and his "take-offs" of various actresses, dancers and "society" women are also ludicrous. His song, "I'd Rather Go To Jail," In the first act, though on a hackneyed theme, seemed to please the mat rimonially dissatisfied, or Inexperienced. There are but two scenes In the whole piece, with the exception of a brief tableau, representing the Interior of a Jail, and the first "act," which lasted till nearly 10 o'clock, became wearisome before it was over.

It represents the Interior of a painter's studio on the top Uoor of a New York loft building. "George' Is the Innltor of the building, and there are a number of things he has to "do," Including getting married, no one seemed to know how many times. The second half of the show Is placed In a country Inn, in no particular place and for no particular reason, as Is proper In a musical comedy, and there the tangle is straightened out. The windmill in the background with the flanges illumined with colored electric light, reminded one of the "Bed Mill." The most attractive Innovation was a couple of dove cotes with live pigeons. They were all snowy white, and their sudden appearance as the company sang Its final love song, was very pretty.

To a Brooklyn fiudience "Let George Do It," has an added attraction through the presence of a young Borough Park girl In the cast. She is Vera Burt, of 1435 Fifty-ninth street. In the regular order of things she appears as one of the "Eight Dancing Darlings," though on several occasions Bhe has sung the leading role. Last evening she appeared in special lullaby song. Her voice Is tender, and she received generous applause.

Miss Burt is still very young and this Is her first venture on the professional stage. The pupils of EraBmus Hall High School will remember her as former member of the claBS of 1912. "THE WITCHING HOUR" "The 'Witching Hour." the drama which Augustus Thomas built upon the theme ment'al suggestion, la capably played this week by the Crescent Stock Company. Plays of this high character show advantage that which Is best in the theatrical talent possessed by this Brooklyn company, which would do well devote less effort to comedy and more to di'ama. George Alison took the part of Jack Brookfleld, the "square gambler," and did a fine piece of work; better than he has done In many recent roles and certainly to the complete satisfaction of Vast evening's patrons.

Arthur Buchanan Judge Prentice, who unfolded to Gambler Brookfleld the possibilities of telepathy, proved equally proficient. Joseph Eggenton as Frank Hardmuth, the dishonest prosecuting attorney, filled a diffi cult part acceptably. Mention should be made of Daniel E. Hanlon's brief but forceful acting as Harvey, the negro servant. The comedy part of Lew Elllnger, the sporty gambler, was taken by Charles Schofleld, who is better in this sort of role than in any other.

Among the women players the big success was scored by Isadora yartin as Viola Campbell. Other parts were taken as follows: Clay Whipple, the young architect, who was tried for murder, by M. J. Brlggs; Tom Denning, the drunken card player, George CasBelberry; Colonel Bayley, Harry Smlthson; Mr. Emmett a hustling reporter, by George Carleton; Judge Henderson, by Frank Howson; Jo, a servant, by Hugh Roman; Mrs.

Helen Whipple, by Leah Winslow, and Mrs. Alice Campbell, by Gertrude Rivers. "The Fortune Hunter" will be played next week. "SPENDTHRIIT" AT GOTHAM. A good Idea of the cost of high living con be obtained from Porter Emersan Browne's four-act play.

"The Spendthrift," which was presented by the Gotham Stock Company last night before large audience. As the extravagant society butterfly, Louise Carter had a role which suited her style ot acting. Victor Browne also was well cast as the too loving husband. Evelyn Watson, as the sensible sister, and Frank Fielder, husband, had the light comedy roles Kate Woods Flske was natural and realistic as the plain-speaking Aunt Gret-chen. As Richard Ward's bachelor friend Philip Cartwright, James Kyrle Mac-Curdy was out of his element.

1 Broadway COR. GREENE BROOKLYN. OVER FIFTY YEARS. tt) hm i all it-flu. wuu no, uue Ul tllO UIC1UUQIS I cr the expedition DULL SHOW IN GREENP01NT Few High Lights Frosini With His Accordion, Cot and Earned Most Applause.

Georffe Coban writes his plays to please the small boy, who, he says, is the best critic. The reviewer took a small boy In with him to the Greenpolnt last evening to get his opinion. The boy was very much amused at parts of tho show, very bored at others. The audience seemed to reflect his emotions. He said that he, went to the Greenpolnt every week, and that "this Bhow wasn't quite up to the level." The absence of well-known headllners was perhaps responsible for a small house.

Not that all the acts were not well done and interesting, but there was nothing extraordinary. The moat applause was gained and earned by Frosini, who played grand opera and popular hits on a big accordion with a tone like a church organ. Remarkably effective playing, helped by clever tricks of execution, turned an apathetic audience Into one most enthusiastic. Those next in favor seemed to be Melville and Higglns, Blngers and dancers, a solemn, attenuated youth and an "eccentric" girl, with a good, shrewish wit. Their harmony singing was excellent.

The Top o' the World" seems perennial. Some five years ago it was a charming musical comedy of the fanciful kind, with clever people, good songs and a ueliKhtful, fantastic atmosphere. When It died Its best features were put Into a iwcnty-minuie 3ketch, pretty, and. apparently, always scuccessful. Acrobatic oomedy by a jack-in-the-box and a candy kid and a French doll, a remarkably lifelike polar bear, who dances with the doll, a sextette of girls and beautiful white collies in one of the best dancing numbers ever invented these make up the sketch.

The actors last evening did not come up to the originals, but most of the old songs were kept, and the girls were pretty and graceful. Harry All and Walter Burke were fairly funny as the eccentric comedians; Harry Hewitt was a wonderful polar bear; and Vivian Ford was pretty and "kiddlsh" as the doll. Her baby voice, however, was unbearable. There was one rather funnny novelty, "The Misfit Army," by George and Bessie Reno, assisted by three extraordinary men, whose names were rather unfairly withheld, because theirs was the hit of the piece; one man, enormously, un-tninkably fat, the other two exact replicas of Mutt and Jeff. Their maneuvers, drills and comedy were screamingly funny.

Mr. Reno, however, as star nearly killled the number by padding it with Interminable stuff that was both 'meaningless and in bad taste. But the "Misfit" three are worth seeing. The other four acts were quite ordinary. Edgar Berger, an equlltbrlBt, showed how much strain and twist the spinal column can stand without snapping.

Fred Duprez puts over commonplace monologue material neatly, and closed with a burlesque melodrama with misfit music. William H. Macart wasted his talents on a sad, "drunk" farce, supported by a girl, Ethlynne Bradford, whose good looks are her only recommendation. Martlnettl and Sylvester or at least one of them tumbled over chairs funnily enough. But, unfortunately, nearly all the best acts came before the intermission, and the audience's final Impressions were not enthusiastic.

Vaughan Purkltt Arthur Grenville An Flshbourne Enid Leslie Mrs. Fillibourns Mabel Tonnfta R.aves Oertrudo Thornton Considering that a well-known French author, a British adaptor who has since been made censor of plays, and competent English actor-manager, have combined in the present production ot Old Charlie" at the Maxlne Elliott Theater the result Is rather tame. The farce Is pleasant enough and the quiet laughter with which It was received nrose from the spontaneous humor engendered by the lines and situations, but as an "Importation" especially brought over from England for a four weeks run it disappoints our expectations. Its material is old-fashioned, which wouldn't make much difference If the treatment were novel, but as the old things happen In the same old way the fuu is necessarily supplied by the dialogue.

This Is put into the mouths of characters deftly drawn, and is well calculated to provoke laughter. Dear Old Charlie, played by Charles Hawtrey, is on the eve of marriage, when he Is vis ited by bis dear old friends Gabriel Peploe and Thomas Dumphle. It develops that be still has in his possession bundles of letters from the late Mrs. Dumphle and the living Mrs. Peploe, letters which Indicate that his frequent visits to the homes of the39 two friends were really paid to their wives.

Dumphlts and Peploe are not aware, of course, that Charlie has deceived them and cannot understand why ne has ceased his visits. They pop In upon iilui while he is making his preparations to be married, and again at the breakfast which celebrates bis return from his honeymoon. Charlie is naturally anxious to keep his wife In ignorance of his former wickedness and his endeavors to conciliate his old friends as well as to keep his wife from meeting Mrs. Peploe provide most of the entertainment of the farce. A suspicious father-in-law and mother-in-law who do not get on well with the old friends are introduced to help out In the fun-maklng.

In the last act the scene shifts to Charlie's country place on the Thames, whither he has gone with his young wife to escape complications. But his old friends find him out and follow him. He Is finally compelled to tell thorn that they are not wanted and to admit hii former errors to his wife. She Is ready enough to forgive him when she finds that the amorous note which she discovers in the lining of the hat of one or the friends antedates her wsd ding day. The real fun does not lie so much in the story as In the dialogue with which the different situations are built up.

The iwo oia ioois wno relate upon every occasion the incidents of the days when Charlie was a regular caller at their homes, thus confiding to the audience how they themselves afforded their wives numerous opportunities to be alone with this gay Lothario. Of course, It isn't at all a moral piece. The easy manner in which the theme of marital Infidelity is handled Is altogether Gallic, and while there Is nothing objectionable In the lines, the situations are not such as appeal to the rank and ftie of American audiences. It Is a safe prediction that the four weeks run for which the piece was Imported will not be extended. The acting was competent throughout, without ever being brilliant.

Charles Hawtrey played his part with easy grace and with that quiet seriousness which brought out every bit of their humor. E. Holman Clark as Thomas Dumphle, and Edmund Maurice as Gabriel Peploe, played with a quiet distinction which rhow their talent for much better things "THE ENCHANTRESS" AGAIN The charms of Kitty Gordon have "a meaning all their own" In "The Enchant-tress," which was presented at the Mon-tauk Theater last evening, but by far the greater part of the entertainment's enchantment came from the delightfully tuneful music which floods the piece. Victor Herbert, In spite of his remarkable output In recent years, Is not written out, and in this newest of his compositions to be heard here, he has written a light opera score pleasing in every respect which amply justifies Its being called "opera comlque." The chief fault of most American com posers worthy of the name is that they I autiuk nine lumij i a iiimbii; hiiuul having it become heavy. The music of "The Enchantress" Is rich in melody, with great splashes of color, and the volume of the well-sustained climaxes Is In striking contrast to the usual fiddle-faddle of musical comedy.

Moreover, the piece is pervaded by delicate, graceful lilts that carry the story ulong with perfect rhythm, Kitty Gordon Is a hpautlful woman who sings easily, almost languidly at times, and somewhere there Is a wonderful dressmaker who has done her part in making the actress an As Vivian Savary, In the play an opera singer, Miss Gordon depends on her several solos and other numbers, and has little else to contribute to the entertainment, but her songs were well received, even if she dl'l not make a strong appeal to the sense of fun. There are a number of clever dancers In the but first honors go to a McCoy may the tribe increase. No one would expect another member of that fumlly to make good in the same line that Bessie McCoy chose to adopt, hut when her little sister, Nellie, danced into the bevy of royal princesses last nicht, impersonating a breezy Anuricnn girl, she captured the house and made a distinct hit. She is not only following in popular sister's pteps, but has a few new onps that are all her own. Harold H.

Forde, as the Prince, sang well and danced with grace, and Arthur Forrest, as the Minister of War, has a commanding stage presence and a pleasing voice. The entire cast is adequate, nnd there arc many clever people in tiie minor roles. "The Enchantress" is well produced.
