HARLEM GS SHINE IN ET WF MNSTREL SHOW €ach Receives a Bouquet as a Reward for Excellence of Acting. Harlem's four hundred jammed the Paim Garden, Fifty-elghth street and Lexington avenue, Saturday night tn at- | tendange on the annual musical show and dance given by the Metropolitan ‘Minstrets. For several years this organ- fsation has ranked as the biggest am Gation of live wire young Harlem ry pretty girt in Harlem or the Bronx hopes for ah invitation. @atufday night's offering was “The ‘Tattle Spendthritt,” an adaptation of George M. Cohan's musical farce “The Gitte QasMonaire,” ‘given of course with the permission of the dscoverer of the Amerean flag himself. The Met's cut @ G064 Mit of the action of the farce and taterpolated other musical numbers | ~mo@ly from Cohan and Harris shows | and the performance was one of the best given by New York amateurs this season. GIVES A GOOD IMITATION OF COHAN. The Met's were fortunate in having &n active young person named David T. Mallen, Jr., to serve as coach and take tthe role played by an. Young Mallén has ibeen a persistent admirer of the Great George for years, during the course of which he has acquired| all the eccentricities of voice, gesture | and ¢erpsichorean agility possessed by | Mel the popular comedian-author, Tho result | was the best imitation of Cohan ever Presented on the stage. So lifelike was Cohan prototype that he could easily —with @ closer haircut—serve as the sectors understudy and get away with ft most happily. Ho was, of course, the star feature of the performance. + Not that Mallon came away with all the honors of the evening. His partner, Russell Brown, who assisted in coach- ing the big company of amateurs, was quite professional in his performance of the part of the millionaire's secretary 204 several of the fair young members ‘@f the company #5 and danced in @ way to make the Broadway managers covetous of their services, In particular there were Miss Bertha Weineck, in the role of the young actress, and Miss Mabel Burke, who sang “I Love, Love” with great effect. Handsome Willie Mason, the ladies’ delight, oMciated as bouquet presenter. Every girl in the show who had a Une to speak tecetved one or more clusters ef roses and it was up to Willie to beckon the girls down to the footlights at the proper moment and pass over the right bunch of blooms. Ho got through without a mix-up, which was some feat. AFTER THE SHOW CAME THE DANCE. After the performance the floor was cleared and the indefatigable orchestra began the dance programme. The regu- lar uniformed special officers of the Palm Garden mingled with the dane: on the lookout for any couple unable to restrain the impulse to “trot.” But they didn’t have to interfere often. The Met's seem strong for the good old dreamy waltz, and ¢ looking over the bunch of ‘i * they frought with them, the snuggly old! walta seemed far more appropriate any- way than the awkward vulgaritics of the “turkey” and “bunny hug.” The cast of “The Little Spendthrift” follows: Richard Marchall—A Man of Mflione, Charles Cohen Russell 7 to the Mansail Choero SMarehail—~Son ‘of ‘isha David T, Mallen jr, from £ kere, if | don’t exercise ¢ y/ 10 7.
