"Kissing Time" is another of those
musical comedies in which the Come?
dian ?els his laughs with a misfit oT
the demonstrative pronoun. "Ah, those
heck," he exclaims, to indicate his de?
sire of personal contact with the lead?
ing woman. Parts of the book appear
to have been ordered from catalogue
--"nut joke" section. "If he ever meets
a squirrel he's lost." is the comedian's
phrasing for the poor intellectual* ,of
the very lftw comedy man.
But these sins against good form
were kissed into redemption by the
beauty of Edith Taliaforro, Dorothy
Maynard and a chorus most handsume
lj dressed.
"Kissing Time," which opened last
night at the Lyric Theater, billed as
"The Empire Producing Corporation's
Presentation of Edward Royce's Pro?
duction," is sponsored as to book by
George V. Hobart, as to music by Ivan
Caryll and lyrics by Philander'John?
son. Clifford Grey and Irving Caesar.
The story is complete by itself. Scenes
are laid in the habitats of Paris milli?
ners and, accordingly, the gowns are
bewildering. Much is made of cloth
of gold and of silver, meals, chiffons
and brocades.
Kissing time arrived for the ladies
and gentlemen of the chorus early in
the ' rs: act, but it dodged .Miss Talia?
forro and Paul Frawley until 11:40
P. V... principally through the machina?
tions of William Norris in the r?le of
jnilliner-in-chief to plot.
Misa Taliaferro and Dorothy -May?
nard supplied not only high spots of
boatity, but also made 'he most inter?
esting contributions in voice and wore
any variety of fr.-sh and original
gowns. The music of the piece is
likable on the whole, but has few num?
bers of distinction. "Bill and Coo,"
"As Long as the World Goe3 Round"
and "Kissing Time" found favor with
the audience.
The bright hit was a chicken dance,
"Kikerikee." by Miss Taliaferro, .Miss
Maynard, Paul Frawle; m I Frank
Dcane. The steps imitai d the ant i s
of barnyard fowl, and clucks and the '
rooster's clarion "Kikerikee" served
:'or unes.
Mr. Norris, in the leading comedy
part, was funnj in spite of some dull
and hackneyed lines.
One of the surprises of the cast was '
the appearance of Car! Hyson without ;
his wife, Dorothy Dixon, the two having
been dancing partners for many years.
Evelyn Cavanaugh danced opposite Hy?
son. She is a skilled dancer, but her
nervousness spoiled what promised to
be a finished performance, But it
should b-e said for her that the stage
was somewhat to?.? crowded with ftuni- ,
ture for perfect freedom.
