All this at the Knickerbocker the
ater, -where "The Debutante" is on
view, with Miss Dawn's name appear
ing for the first time in electric lights,
as star. A great many young women
have had this distinction who have
done far less to- merit than Miss
Dawn. She's an excellent actress,
she has a fine voice, she can play the
fiddle, and she's frightfully easy to
look at. Why shouldn't she be a star?
As for the music dished up by Her
bert, it's "there." Nothing with the
"made in Vienna" label on it has any
more swing or tilt than "Call Around
Again," a song well sung and cleverly
staged. "The Gay Life" is a jolly
melody, in which the men of the cast
do some excellent dancing on the
side.
In the way of chorus, John C. Fish
er, the producer of the show, has ac
complished a marvel in finding a
stageful of girls who not only have
nice faces and pleasing legs, but can
also sing really sing, so that you
don't have to work your eyes over
time in order to forget that you are
afflicted with ears.
Miss Dawn's support is good a lit
tle girl named Sylvia Jason makes her
first Broadway hit with a petite per
sonality and a deal of charm. In Wil
liam Danforth and Will West there
are two good comedians.
Harry B. Smith did the book and
Robert B. Smith the lyrics. Many of
the lines are actually funny, one,,
which meets with much favor, being
"It's a long worm- that has no turn
ing." ; o o
