“THE ONLY GIRL.”
Victor Herbert’s Success at Colonial
Theater Friday Evening.
Patrons of the theater will find pleasur
able anticipation in the coming produc
tion of the musical comedy success, “The
Only Girl,” which will play an engage
ment at the Colonial Theater, tomorrow,
Friday night.
“The Only Girl,’.’ which is the com
bined work of Victor Herbert and Henry
Blossom, is rich and brilliant with many
charming melodies, and a really bright
and unusually clever book.
The play is built around four bachelors
who decide that no woman shall disturb
their Jife-long chumship. The curtain
rises with three of them following each
other to tell the fourth, a young librettist,
that they have each found “The Only
Girl,” and despite their former relations,
they each get married and try to main
tain their former companionship. At a
little dinner, six weeks after they an
nounce their decision to marry and after
their honeymoon, in the apartment of
the librettist, jealousy among the three
women spoils the affair.
In the meantime the fourth, unable to
get a man as a composer, discovers a
charming collaborator in the same build
ing, in the person of a young lady. At
first he refuses to consider her as a com
poser of his opera, but at last decides that
they shalj, collaborate without any senti- J
ment, as', though they were machines.
Love interferes with progress and finally I
despite the arguments of the married trio 1
and the insight he gains into their domes- i
tic troubles, he decides upon a partner- i
ship with his fair composer that is quite i
the opposite the one at first decided upon, j
The company is said to be of exception- !
al brilliance and includes Chas. Fulton,
Harry P. Young, Jesse Willingham, Chas.
Hall, E. F. Nagle, Rupert Graves, Juli
enne Costa, Rainier Cain, Louise Peyton,
Annette Berger, Nadine Gray, Katherine
Williams, Carla Richman and a great big
beauty chorus. Seats now selling, get
them early for this big musical treat.
Prices 50, 75, $1.00, a few $1.50.
