'BETTY, BE GOOD'
IS CHEERFUL HIT
New Production, Enroute to
Broadway, Scores Big Hit
K at Orpheum Last Night
And now, along comes one of
those sparkling things which the
management speaks of as a comedy
with music. With lots and lots of
music he might have said. "Betty,
Be Good," at the Orpheum, last
evening, raised a curtain to a most
discouragingly small audience, but
who. after the sketch was well on
its way, made up in enthusiasm for
a much larger house.
"Betty, Be Good" is here for two
davs, enroute to Broadway, where
it s bound to "go" if catchy music,
excellent voices, clean wit, wonder
ful costumes and beautiful scenery
are still what Broadway wants. The
production made its initial bow to
the public but a wek ago, but a
more carefully drilled chorus will
not be found.
There is more of a plot to "Betty,
Be Good," thai. >o the usual run of
musical shows, which moves off with
remarkable smoothness. The story
has to do with a prospective bride
groom, who on the eve of the cere
mony finds himself In the company
of an actress -who considers herself
also engaged to htm. Through much
clever lying on his part on through
passing the buck to his best man,
the actress is kept in ignorance of
the true facts. Scenes move from a
fashionable New England hotel to

TUESDAY EVENING,
fashionable resort on Long Island,
and with each move we find the
near-bridegroom sinking deeper. It
is only with the masterful lying
on the part of the best man that the
story is kept running until the last
curtain when, as one may expect,
all ends happily.
Irving Beebe, as the bridegroom,
treats his audience to some wonder
ful minutes through his exceptional
voice. Frank Crumit, as Sam Kirby,
the best man, is also gifted with a
voice of unusual quality and a smile
that is most infectious. Laura Ham
ilton, in her number with Mr.
Crumit, evoked encore after encore.
Miss Hamilton is a dancer of un
usual grace and ability. Another
dancing specialty by Frances Grant
and Ted Wing proved wonderfully
entertaining as was evidenced by the
round after round of applause which
greeted their efforts. As a whole,
the entire cast was one of excep
tional merit and one felt at the last
curtain that an evening with "Betty,
Be Good,"was an evening well spent.
The production, is sepeated to
night, and it is to be expected that
a larger house will be on hand if
one may judge by the remarks of
approval heard on every hand at
last evening's performance.
