COURTESANTS PLAY OF EXTRAVAGANCE Ale ey Supirted by Bri liant Array of Performers | (By Herald Reviewsr), Alice Delysia, the irresistible, irve- proachable French star, who sung and danced her way into the hearts of Hartford theatergoers twg Years ago In that sensational extravagansa “Afgar," repeated her former success and added new laurels at the opening presentation of “The Courtesan" at P'arsons’ theater last evening. Rieh in gorgeous settings, beautiful cos. tumes, good singing and excellent daneing numbers with a share of comedy interspersed here and there. this new French-American musioal prod n won the hearis of the first nighters. From the rise of the first | curtain at 8:15 o'clock, until the fall | of the final eurtain at midnight, one was continually dazsled by the bril. liancy of the scenes and costumes | which were in no small share respon- | sible for the succesa of the show, This belng but the second week of the show's existence there is no doubt but that several numbers will be chi d or ellminated entirely while others will be shortened, One that might be left out to advantage is that billed as “Her Wedding day” in which n funeral is supposed to be featured. Ther no doubt but that after the | pruning shears have been applied to | this show, it will settle down for a long run at the Winter Garden in New York, where it is headed for, follow. ing a showing in Springfield, Mass,, and in Albany, N, Y, With but two exceptions there are no catchy musical selections which will linger in one's memory after hav- ing left the theater. “When You Love,” featured by Delysia in one of the very first opening numbers is the | strain played throughout the show. “The Cottage of My Heart,”” as sung by Donald Brlan and Nancy Carroll was pleasing but does not afford Mr. | Brian the opportunity to display his Voice as has been done in other plays. Forgetting the scenery and cos- umes and turning to the cast of the | how, it might be safe to say that clysia, Donald Brian, Nat Nazzaro, Ir., Roy Cummings, Dave Jones and | he members of the pony ballet chorus fire the real entertainers and responsi- le for the success it made. | The ballet chorus was one of the | hest seen on Parsons’ theater stage or | ven on a New York stage in the past ew years and with its unity in work, ts pep and class of a distinction, roved to be a most popular hit with he audience which demanded more vhenever the girls made an appear- \nce.
