CROWDED HOUSE
FOR COMEDY
oecond Play Offered by Girls’
Club Meets With Approval
Last Show Tonight
Sparkling wit. catchy music and
splendid acting amid a blaze of col
or,. the atmosphere of the Orient In
terspersed with Yankee "pep ' and
ingenuity and the enthusiasm of a
full house are a few of the reuaons
tha' can h? given for the thorough
success o- "Katcha-Koo,” a musical
fantasy presented by the John B
Rogers Producing Company, under
the auspices of ihe Perth Amboy
Girls' Club at Its first performance
In the Majestic Theatre last night.
With a cast o' nearly 200 trained bj
Phil D. Mcrriam, the show ap
proached the Incomparable "All
Aboard,” p esenteri Inst year by the
same group and reflects unlimited
rredit upon all those who were in
any way connected with its produc
tion. Por the bent tit of the Y. VV.
C. A., "Katcha-Koo" proved a great
financial success as well as breeding
a fine spirit of co-operation through
out the community.
Miss Helen Mac William at the
piano, leading the orchestra and
faithful throughout the many re
hearsals is largely responsible for
the gratifying results, the colorful
music playing a major part in the
ahouf.
miwtinii .tnhnsnn. color comedian
of “All Aboard," as Katcha-Koo, the
notorious fakir of Hungah in last
night's production, renegade Ameri
can husband, who adopted the Indian
disguise, clothed in garments which
caused him to be simultaneously
amative, carefree, happy, polite and
“peppy,” according to the natures
of their former owners, was limber,
graceful, in good voice and manifes
ted a thorough sense of humor as
well as great versatility. Oblivious
to the plots concocted to rid him of
his animated habiliments, Mr. John
son sailed through the two acts,
making love to his own wife, every
one else's Wife, disrupting love af
fairs and domestic peace to the re
peated ovations of the audience.
Wilfred Johnstone and Thomas
Major as Dick Horton, a collector
of antiques and Harry Brandstone,
a collector of adventures, precipita
ted in the garden of the Maharajah
of Hungah, locally known as Louis
Boos, were greatly amusing in their
lore affairs which became increas
ingly Intricate as the play advanced
won favorable comment on their
solos and duets.
Mr. Boos showed splendid choice
in his four wives, Mrs. Charles Mich
aels as La Belle Elysee; Muriel Ha
ney, as Patsy Kildare the Irisn
spouse; Ruth Jacobson as Chin-Chin
Foo, the Chinese mate and Barbara
McLeod as Brazillita. the Brazilian
wife. All 'our of them were clever
ly costumed and presented a typical
oriental picture, grouped about their
lord.
The ceniti of the stage was hem
frequent!” br Miss Cloire Pfeiffer as
an American daughter, whose
ifjsJbklce was superb last night and
ose vivacity equalled that shown
as . Dolly of "All Aboard"
s_ ^fame.\
Prudence. Dolly’s sister. La Verne
De Hamm, was a'so in her element
when singing and dancing through
the acts and her love affair with the
baffled Dick Horton caused great hil
arity.
Miss Dorothy Hadden as Mrs.
Chattie Gaddin, mother of the two
girls, was indiscriminate In her af
faires de ir coeur and even went
so far as to pay undue attention to
her own husband Miss Hadden's
acting, as always, was superior, there
being perhaps no one who could fill
the voluble American bill as grace
fully.
Two of the evening's decided hits
were Miss Ruth Macan as L'rbanah,
high priests of the temple, and Mrs.
Arthur Johnson, as Solejah. widow
of a wizard. This twain, always in
evidence to throw the Americans in
to the depths of despair, were able
to pronounce “doomed." "lions" and
"poison” in such tones that the au
dience shivered over the Impending
fate of the victims.
Mrs. Chester Darling in her danc
ing act demonstrated her profession
al skill and supplemented by the
veil dances who were among the
best groups won the favor of the
house.
The execution of the entire show
was excellent. Children from five
years of age up to teachers in the
high school cooperated In one big
effort. The dancing of each group,
, the intricacies of the steps and th'
splendid choruses manifest hard
work and great interest. The pole
group was especially fine, the orien
tal girls perfect and in fact, not a
combination but what did meritori
ous work.
The grand finale when th entire
cast was on the stage at the same
time was awing in its magnitude and
the general effect of song, color and
dance.
The play will be repeated tonight
for which performance there are a
few good seats left.

ths Ladles' Auxiliary of Simpson M

MISSIONARY EVENT
DELIGHTFUL EVENT
The meeting of the Foreign Mis
sionary Society of the First Presby
terian church held by the Westmin
ster Guild last night in the chapel in
Rector street wsa one Of the most
enjoyable and Interesting meetings
ever held by the society not only be
cause of the delicious supper served
as an original prelude to the meet
ing but particularly because of the
program of speakers and musical
41 imbers which concluded It. The
tdbles around which the delicious
menu was served were attractive In
decorations of Jerusalem cherry
plants.
\tr« Alice Carev Russell, of New
York, In the humorous yet wttnai
sincere manner with which ehe ha*
previously charmed Perth Amboy
audiences, emphasized the Import
ance of feeding the people of for
eign lands aa well as aendlng them
missionaries to tell of the Gospel.
‘Feed the starving Russians and
others In need” she said, "and then
tell them about God.” She told sev
eral stories, some appealing to the
sympathetic and otherslo the more
humorous side of life. She has a
very clever manner of taking her
audience from the saddest to the
happiest of moods. Mrs. Kussell is'
a member of the Womans Pros*
Club in New York and ofttimee she
is employed by the government to
visit the convalescent, soldiers at the
hospitals and entertain them with
her stories.
Mrs. Adrian Lyon gave an excel
lent description of “The Bible ae a
Missionary Text Book.” beginning
with the growth of the Missionary
Ideals beginning back In the Old
Testament and continuing through
the Ne wTestament up until its de
velopment Into the Missionary Spir
it of today. The Missionary char
ter of the Christian church of to
day, she said, Is to "Go Ye unto all
the World and Preach the Gospel."
However, the part of the even
ing’s program which more than
anything else appealed Ho all those
present were the tenor solos by
Alvin Eley of New York, who has
sung with the great metropollton
tenor, Martlnelli. Both Eley and
Martinelll were pupils of the fa
mous Mastro Emrllo Hoxan. Some
of the numbers which Mr. Elt-y
sang were "Give Me the Right to
Call Ytou Mine,” a song especially
wrlttn for and dedicated to him oy
Miss Lila Brett; Vale (Russell) that
favorite of Galli Curd’s; My Jean
(Madame Cara’ Roma); Until: Lets
Send a Little Glfe of Roses (Open
shaw); Alabamy Mammy (Albert
von Tilzer), the last mentioned a
new song never Sling before In pub
lic, a particudarly pretty number
which It is expected will meet with
wide public approval.
Mrs. Joseph Brlmlow, who has
delighted so many local audiences
with her charming soprano voice,
sang "Didn't it Kiln." She also
sang "The Star,” by Rogers. The
piano duet J>y Louis Seaman and
Marvin Smith was heartily encored.
