FRIDAY EVENING,
rosco and Elmer Harris, and Earl Car
roll provided the lyrics and music. It's
a play of California, with a California
beauty chorus and a "typical Morosco
cast," which means the very best ob
tainable.
There is a considerable plot for a
musical play; in fact the story Is
based on a successful farce, "Your
Neighbor's Wife."
The farce is set to a lively accom
paniment of dancing, bathing-suit
girls, who whirl and dance gracefully
and scantily. It also introduces the
diversion of a young Spanish girl, in
the search of romance.
The comedy is generously Injected
with tuneful airs and catchy melo
dies, in which is apparent the Ha
waiian coloring of the popular songs
of the moment.
It is doubtful if the poignant pleas

Cnrey'n -ens," which will be the

day, with a matinee Wednesday,
where it will be shown for the first
time locally after its tremendous
vogue at the Cort Theater. New York,
could be expressed in cold type. A
critic has described it as 'like a fair,
white flower blown by a summer
breeze, fragile, but of lasting
loveliness. Its essence is like that of
a sweet meadow flower. It is a play
of characters a"nd types, with scintil
lating lines and bright comedy
scenes, deals with the personally
SCENE FROM MUSICAL SENSATION, "SO ■
LONG LETTY," OPENING AT ORPHEUM TONIGHT
V • , • " . I
At the Orpheum to-night and to
morrow, matinee and night, Oliver
Morosco, who has provided the stage
with so many dramatic successes, not
ably "The Bird of Paradise" and "Peg
o' My Heart," will make his first of
fering here this season, when he pre
sents the new comedy with music, "So
Dong Detty." Dike many Morosco p
ieces, "So Long Letty" 'was given its
first hearing on the Pacific coast, wh
ere, since its first performance, It hay
beautiful happenings of each and
everybody's life. It is an abiding
chronicle of home and, in which the
chronicles are impregnated with
humor and pathos and, to put into the
words of Mother Carey herself, that
intangible something which the world
needs most.' It is an excellent study
of childhood and it takes one into the
sanctuary of motherhood and its at
mosphere is adroitly caught by its
auditors to the extreme pleasure of
all who see it in the stage version,
particularly after reading the book.
Tlie cast to be seen locally is the
original one and includes Antoinette
Walker, the original Nancy Carey of
the first production.
The warm reception given Mme.
Dorce and her Celebrities at the Ma-
jestic. yesterday, is
Mme. Doree"* .sufficient proof that
CelebrltieM nt local vaudeville de
the Majestic votees were more
than glad to have
them back after their success in Har
risburg last season. This aggrega
tion of superlino vocalists are recog
nized as one ai the finest in vaude
ville, and Mme. Doree is certainly to
be congratulated in her careful selec
tion of singers. The stage setting is
attractive and serves as a pleasing
background for these artists, who
give impersonations of famous song
birds of the Metropolitan Opera House
and concert stage. With the aid of a
little imagination one could almost
imagine themselves listening to the
original artists, for both in appear
ance and voice there is a startling re
semblance. A good comedy show sur
sounds this attraction. Jessie Stand
ish, dainty singing comedienne, won
a warm place in the hearts of yester
day's audiences. Her song numbers
are original and are put over in pleas
ing style. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cop
pelin are presenting an amusing com
edy playlet, entitled "Hiring a Maid."
There is a generous amount of laugh
ter sprinkled throughout the act. Rice
and Francis are offering a bright song
and patter skit, while the Whirling
Azemast in a sensational aerial act,
round out the bill.

aunt, who dominates the family and
is a disbeliever in love. Challenged
as to her right to disavow the exist
ence of love, the aunt reveals to her
niece the story of her own romance
in years before. Through her diary
she relates how Patricia Vanderpyl
(Jane Cowl), belle of New York so
ciety, married her soldier lovet at the
outbreak of the Civil War. In the
midst of her happiness, her husband,
back on a furlough, meets with death
under circunmstances that apparently
revealed him as faithless, and the
proud girl, never relenting, lives on
into old age with the firm conviction
that love is a mockery. There is a
letter which she had never opened,
and Georgiana insists that it should
be read. It Is the last word from
Patricia's dead husband and reveals
the truth about his death. Convinced
that she had misjudged him, the aged
Patricia sanctiqjis the marriage of her
niece and then goes to meet Anthony
