OCTOBER 4, 1925—PART catch and hold the attention of an audience than a verbal explanation that a certain thing has come about, and it is, therefore, time to ring down the curtain. Most musical shows are made for a certain season only. The music can be “minute” music, which is hav- ing a vogue this season and which is likely to bLe out of favor next sea- son. The jokes may be current. A Fred Stone show is built for three New York and two years on the road—and that means the music must have sub- stance, must be melodious enough and well enough written to endure for three years. And the lyries and the jokes must be on subjects uni- versally understood and general enough to be acceptable in any part of thé country. [ the phantom AMUSEMENTS. BerascO "= . Lee and J. J.

A Fred Stone musical comedy is a neat bit of theatrical carpentering by the time it reaches the New York public. The task of making a Fred Stone show revolves firat about Mr. Stone, and then about the composer, Jerome Kern, and then the lyricist, Anne Caldwell, and the Ilibrettists, Miss Caldwell and R. H. Burnaide. Action of a Fred Stone production always starts from the final decision by Mr. Stone as to the stunts and characterizations which he expects to present in a pew production. _Always he has those two elements. The plot must be fitted around those stunts and the music must be suitable to the plot and also to the stunts. And Mr. Stone says no one can tell be- MRS.
