Several new singers with fine voices and exocellent stage presence gave added interest to the performance of “Robln Hood.” popular romantic comic opera, by De Wolt Hopper and his talented company at Poll's Theater last night. This work by Reginald DeKoven, undisputed leader of Amer- jcan composers writing highest class light opera, and Harry B. Smith s always enjoyed. The story Is as fa- miliar as the first fairy story ever heard at mother's knee and the skill- fully drawn characters with the witty ‘moments outbalancing the more pa- thetie bits have a fundamental place in the affections of people all over the world. The melodies are beautiful and written in a manner to show any There was, how- ever, a silght tendency on the part of nearly all the principals last night to hold on to their best notes in every song, compelling Mr. Hirshfield to re- tard his orchestra and rather over- emphasizing certain bits. There was noticeable legato style in most of the singing. Among the newcomers is Paula Ayres, who has a big, well trained contralto voice, She made the ex- quisite lové song, “Oh, Promise Me," a gem that had to be repeated. and sang Allan-a-Dale’'s entire role ef- fectively. Miss Ayres has sung this rol= with the company earlier this season and has also appeared in It with other organizations. Halen Guyes was delightful as the shrewd “Dame Durden” and Sol Solomon made “Sir Guy" stand out in a man- ner that suggested Francis Wilson in the role opposite De Wolf Hopper's supremely comical “Sherifft of Not- tingham.” Speaking of Mr. Hopper's role, one n best deseribe the absolute sub- jection of his large, enthusiastic udience, by .aying that in this pro- duction of the opera. at least, “The Sheriff of Nottingham™ would more fitting title than “Robin Hood." Fine as his supporting cast ix, Mr. Hopper Adominates the stage every moment he is on it He makes the rummy- eck and is ||| It is C, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1924, nosed old scalawag lovable in spite of his dastardly deeds. Incidentally, it is suggested that future audiences look for Mr. Hop- per's sneeze. The sheriff is supposed to be a snuff addict and Mr. Hopper teils how he planned to have his sneezes interrupted in the first act 50 that later in the play, when the sheriff actually gets an opportunity to relieve his itching nostrils, only a tink sound is emitted. However, it seems the first time the comedian played the role (last summer in Balti- more). after having instructed the others on the stage to give him com- plete silence to put this bit of “busi- ness” over, a gentleman in the au- dience who had been watching the actor intently himself gave a bauti- ful, gigantic sneeze and sent the Bouse in roars of laughter, again foil- ing the testy sheriff. J. Humbird Duffy sings “Robert of Huntington” splendidly and Henry Kelly won three encores last night with “Brown October Ale” the fa- mous before Volstead days song, B. V. D, as Mr. Hopper put it. Ethel Walker is a charming Maid Marian and her duet with Duffy in the first act was warmly applauded. Petite Ethel Clark is, if aanything, cuter than ever as the flirtatious, dainty Annabel, and shows a sweet lyric soprano voice in her solo in the last act. Herbert Waterous comes into his own again in the role of Will Scu;ez to sing the famous “Armorer’s ng,” which he does excellently. Arthur Cunningham is well cast as the jolly Friar Tuck. The chorus is decidedly pretty in both greenwood and milkmaid cos- tumes. and musically the “Milkmaid chorus” was particularly tuneful. The men in the chqrus also upheld their part, heing especially effective in the quaint “Tinkers' Chorus” and the ale song. The scenery is traditionally handled and good to look upon and the orches- tra supplies the singers with fine accompaniment B.F. Keith's;l{nryl Norman Surrounded with elaborate stage settings, and assisted by two clever planists, Karvl Norman has a pre- tentious act p head Keith's program this week. The clever female’ imper- sonator has many beautiful gowns and new songs and had little trouble in scoring big success.

This has made him popular. The novelty of being accompanied by two pianos also helps the act. Many curtain calls rewarded his efforts to please. Another act that stands out is Neville Fleeson the composer of “Apple Blossom Time who is at the plano, and Ann Greenway, a dark- eyed beauty who sings his songs. Miss Groenway, appears in three dif- ferent costumes, all becomingeand elaborate creations, and she has a fine voice. The best feature of the act is a satire on “Rain,” the play that recently closed*in New York af-. tera year's run, Miss Greenway takes the part played by Jeanne Eagles and Fleeson helps out as & marine and a missionary. The little skit was received with much favor. The lights had to be lowered to get this act out of the way. Lula McConnell has a talking sketch entitled “At Home," which went over with a laughing hurrah, although the t has run for Miss McConnell for everal years. The Brazilian wonder, Miacahua, in a thrilling tight wire act, is unique as she does her work without the aid of an umbrella or balancing pole. McWattérs antd Ty- son have a singing act of merit, ahd a pair of newcomers, Kurts and Cully, sing jazz songs that are original and pleasing.
