MANY ENTRIES ARRIVING FOR CHARLES GILBERT Return Engagement of Fa- mous Musical Play—Audi- torium Well Filled at After-{ noon Performance and Every Seat Taken at Night BY MARGERY BROCKMAN ‘ “Blossom Time” scored another triumph in this city Saturday aft- ernoon and evening, bringing once more to the admirers of Franz Schubert his beautiful life story and immortal melodies. The theme of “Blossom Time” in- oles a fascinating romance wov- en about the very nearly authentic facts in the life of one of the world’s greatest composers, The scenes are laid in Vienna in 1826, at that time one of the gayest capi- tals in the world. The beauty, glamour, romance, and the poignant heartaches of Schubert and ‘his contemporaries are bared to the public, possibly elucidating the in- spiration of the composer’s undying | ! songs. 2 Ibert Excellent as Schubert e superlative cast presented in this city was headed by John Charles Gilbert, who gave a splen- did performance as Franz Schubert. Gilbert closely résembles por- £ the composer and his char- tion was excellently done. e, noble and self-sacrificing qualities of Schubert’s nature were delicately brought out in Mr. Gil- interpretation. His dramatic ability was most apparent to the audience in the scene where he es that his ardent love is in vain, From this point of action he relinquished life with resignation, and Mr, Gilbert’s scenes are con-| ‘ . His voice is full and true and especially yell adapted to the beatty and pathos of the “Song of Love” and “Tell Me, Daisy.” Louise Naegele played the » Mitzi, with a piquant charm which appealed to her au- dierze peculiarly as it once did to the great composer, who found her the inspiration for his masterpieces. Miss Naegele, tiny and graceful, has a pure voice, round and rich in melod; In her simplicity of ac- tion lay the charm of her appeal. An exhibition of keen dramatic ability was offered in Patrick <elly’s performance as Franz Von Schober, a close friend of the com- poser, His scene with Schubert at the close of the second act dis- played a depth of feeling which one did not look for in the carefree man-of-the-world who swaggered into the hearts of Viennese ladies. Mr. Kelly's portrayal of Baron Schober is a splendid foil for the reticent Schubert. One will not soon forget the dis- play of temperament and delight- ful Austrian accent of Vera Amazar as Bella Bruna. Miss Amazar was quite exotic to look upon and at all times an actress. Robert Lee Al- len’s comedy was superb. Without losing the flavor of foreign comedy it was devoid of coarseness, strik- ing a note of originality through- out. Mr. Allen’s performance was of a type which lends itself to the humour today as easily as it did to the Viennese drawing rooms of Tuesday Is Entry Day—Judg- ing to Be Done Wednesday— Entries in the Missouri Slope Poultry Show, which offictally opens in the corn show building, here to- morrow and which will continue through Thursday, were pouring in. to the city today, | Everything was in readiness ot the poultry show headquarters to capitalized at $15,000, had a surplus handle the large volume of prize of $6,000 and deposits of $90,000. poultry exhibits which are expected | to fill the 1,000 crates arranged at the corn show building.
