REEL ALCL AES MAIO TITRE, AR LIE: ec ELE ROE R EE A Oy ION EES tes q eee Ss TRC About Plays land Players I By BIDE DUDLEY W that “Hitchy-Koo” is a gen- uine success at the Cohan & Harris Theatre, the plans of Raymond Hitchcock, prime mover its production, and, ikewise, | one of the help on the stage, will Ukely undergo a change. It is stated | that after the show finishes its New _ York engagement it will visit other American cities and, also, that next @ummer Mr. Hitchcock may pack up Production and cast and take them to | London. It has been generally under- | @tood that the comedian was under @ontract to Dillingham & Ziegfeld for | the next Century show, but now) Comes the statement that be has never signed the papers. “Hitchy-Koo” was originally an- ounced as an American version of | #he London musical revue, “Some.” In the beginning it did resembie “Bome,” but that resemblance has @isappeared. Every song and every ether feature of “Some,” excepting the idea of offering the finale first, has been eliminated, and yet the “Hitchy-'" 00" management is paying Troyaities to those who control tho} English piece. Being practically an| entirely different production, it would mot step on its own toes in London. Mr. Hitchcock, it is understood, is | eager to take his entire cast, including Leon Errol, Rock and White, Irene Bordont and Grace La Rue, abroad if they'll go. If they don’t he'll have to uce the show again in London, as it is primarily an exhibition of the talents of stare. Broadway hears, also, that had it it been for the aid of the New York + Moket brokers, “Hitchy-Koo” might ever have seen the light of day. Whey looked over the list of stars, and, on a guarantee that sald stars) ‘would be in the show, waived the eetty of asking questions and yught almost the entire lower floor Of the Cohan & Harris Theatre for ten weeks, The ticket brokers, by the way, are gradually becoming the Yeading producers in the Broadway Geld. i BY WAY OF DIVERSION, A railroad wreck occurs some- ‘where; perhaps a ecore are dead. Of- ficials come and stand around and _@ach one shakes his head, as though to say: “This thing ts wrong.” And (@n some future date the public ts as- @ured that they will soon investigate.
