Of course, the entire show centers around F. K. Miller and A.

If it were not for Miller and Lylcs the show would probably not be as successful as it is, for thesetwo stars keep the audience on edge with their continual comedy. The singing was well done, for there Is a profusion of quartet numbers, both male and female, all very good.

The very catchy musical numbers include "Old-Fashioned Love," which enables Mamie Moon, contralto, to take a dozen encores nightly. The authors of the songs. Miller and Lylcs. did not overlook-several other old Southern melodies In "Heart Breakin' Joe." In which Miss Jean Starr is heard.

It is an adaptation by F.dward Gold-beck of a German play, "ler Tokaier," by Hans Mueller, author of "The Depths," seen In Manhattan not long ago with Jane Cowl as the star. "Sparkling Burgundy" is a more sophisticated play than "The Depths" and discloses one or two new and promising sidelights on the married life of a famous operatic star. After disclosing them, however, it fails to make merry or profitable use of them. And that is about the nicest thing I can think of to say about "Sparkling plap "Sun Up" for an English production.

But no sdapter couid be so allly to eliminate all of the clever lines of his original, so it may be presumed that Herr Mueller himself was the silly fellow.

Of course, It's all very humor-ausi particularly when it develops that the adopted son is a crook ho makes a practice of being adapted by rich old gentlemen and makes a raid on the family Jewelry. In this he is aided and abetted by liraok Mclntyre, who looms just as large as he ever dirt and still wears tlak and white checkered panta-Itiops.

Of course, last night was the nrt showing of this play, so allowances of a sort must be made. If the pro Save for those few new points of view, the. play as presented is very nearly worthless. A clever director might have done something with it. The program mentions the name of no director, and it is easy to believe that there was no such person about the premises at any time during rehearsals.

Certainly the actors give no evidence that they have been aided by advice and admonition. They act as if they had learned their parts with a view only to remembering the lines assigned them and without the slightest regard for their meaning. They simply begin at the beginning of the play and continue talking until the end. The result is monotony, releaved only by ragged-ness. In fact, the acting Is bad.

There is no other word for it. William Courtlelgh, Robert Rendel and Lina. Abarbanell play the leading roles. It is difficult to believe that actors with names so well known can contrive to perform so badly.
