Oe eee “Hitchy-Koo 1920” | Finest and Funniest of Series. | By CHARLES DARNTON ¢ whow in town that's another big hit, “Iite HURE'S another bi; na 1920," so full of ingenious features, danuiing costumes and, Clever entertainors-that the audience at the New Amsterdam Jest night applauded and laughed until it was tired, ‘This time distincuve talent was not confined to Raymond Mitchcock, for he had with bim that London comedian with the foggy voice, George P, Huntley, and Julia Sanderson displaying not only her enduring youne eharma, but for once a sense of humor. Row after row of pretty girls tn Wonderful clothes tripped to the front, and dancers remarkable even tn this PeMarkable age of dancing kept the stage in a whirl, Glen MadDonough’s Book offéred an uncommon number of new id jogethor with old ones given a fresh turn, the lyrics by him and Anne Caldwell were so bright a8 to be far above the average, and Jerome Kern's music waa both eprightly and tuneful, Startling originality, beauty and variety marked the costumes designed by Mme, Rasitnl As a@ renult, “Hitchy-Koo 1920’ Proved the fMnest and funniest review the Hitoneo series, @ produc. ton @o lavieh as to make It a rival of Ziegfeld’s “Follics.” Once again the b ntiating Mr, Hitchcock took the audience Into his confidence before the curtain went up and a few nis later made the Stirring announcement that Philadelphia had Just reached tte full quota hird Liberty lonn. Mr. Huntley waa wheeled into view after an of ton years, but his cordial reception compelied him to rine from tis invalid’s chair and say two or three hundred w a in response, Then he sank back comfortably only to be disturbed b utcous maidens who gfeated on the arm of his chair, thus causing the Mrillometer he wore on his wrist to ring wild alarms, Miss Sanderson, @ vision of loveliness, emerged in “Love in Lavender,” a charming bit of old-fashioned senti- mont with a pretty song and @ graceful dance tn which Dougiaa Bteven- won figured gallantly, Rarely, if ever, has @ review offered anything as delicately artistic as this little gam. Fun eoon bad full run of the stage. Even when Grace Moore eang languorously of "Moon of Love,” the tired chorus girls at her back cut in wmexpectediy with their opinions on the moon and roused shouts of laughter. In a country drug store Mr. Hitchcock mold two portage stamps to Mr. Huntley after great deliberation on tho part of the Britisher an to the color and location of the imps, and again thero was cause for merriment. In “Old New York” sugh characters as John I. Sullivan and Lily Langtry sauntered along tn front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and finally « torchlight parade tin celebration of the election of Gfover Clevo- land to the Presidency brought cheers, At another time a new funny bores, made up of Pilly Holbrook and Henry Lingen, broke all fecords, ‘This knowing ateed, Ethel by, name, wan fo thin an to be side-mplitting. One of the biggest Inughs was ecored by Charles Withers as the manager, orchostra and “props” of a village “ppry house,” in which @ melodrama ed “Bor Pity'’s Bake" might ’ easily have astonished the natives, Brought bodily from vaudeville, ap- * parently, thts skit was at the same ¢ime rich in character, and Withers mado it a real hit, There was more “rube" humor tn “Buggy Riding,” « wong that gave Mr. Hitchcock and Misa Sanderson opportunity for a highly amusing bit of pantomime, ~The dancing of the Mosconie wan etill another notable feature, Memo- rick of Lolo Fuller were brought back by Florence O'Denishawn in a charmingly executed “serpentine danoa” Madeline Van and Billy Hol- brook also cut graceful figures, and Mary Wilbanks shimmipd her way into early popularity.
