It lives up to the standard of 1925:26 producers’ of giving the public a gencrous banquet of daneing, equal- ling In many respects other musical comedies’ which have . started out year on the long, long trail that leads to Broadway. In fact, it might be said that the show is built around the ability of the cast to dance, ' The fabric.of the plot {s| thin, but apparently that s what ' the American theater-goers = want. | As a general'rule, American audi- €nces ask'to be entertained without being requiréd to indulge in cere- | bral exercise. “Sing to us, dance to but don't ask.us to think'— that s the demand | “Rainbow Rose" {s a clean com- | cdy. Being newly outfitted, the o8- | tumes are shiny new. Nor can any- thing be found in the lines or the | music which gives offense. ' It pro- vides ‘a eplendid means of ‘passing | a. pleasant evening.
