OLCOTT SINGS OLD FA VORITES IN ‘ MACUSHLA ’
Percy Bronson Appears as Male Vamp in Lait’s Comedy—LeVan at Park
When Ireland Is mentioned nowadays
perhaps the flrst thought that comes Is
of hard-hitting shillalnhs and fast-flvlnc
jjrlckbats. But there Is another Ireland,
the Ireland of.the fairies, and the sham
rocks, and Blarney. That Is the Ireland
of "Macushla,” In which Chauncey Olcott
la atarring at English's this week.
When we say Chauncey Olcott Is star
ring we must needs mention In the same
breath Allyn Glllyn, who is just as
truly a star as Olcott, though she Is not
billed that way. As Patricia Boyer of
the play she Is the true “wild Irish rose''
and a more loveable rose could not be
Imagined.
The romantic play is Interspersed with
by Olcott, real old Irish songs,
which add a great deal to the perform
cnee. The story is laid seme years back,
t least far enough back that the gen
tlemen wore lace neckpieces, and it Is
indicated when the hero decides to go
to America that he Is one of the few
Irish thinking of making the move.
The story centers around Sir Brian
Fitzgerald, played by Olcott. who has
lately come into an impoverished es-
li iii^

tate. He depends on the success of his
horse. Macushla, In the coming steeple
chase to recoup his fortunes. There are
attempts on the part of the owner of
another horse to put the Irish horad
lout of the race. Os course, this effort
[does not prove successful, and the race
■is won. The race scene, by the way,
ktopped the show and Olcott was com
kaUed to make a speech before the cur-
WRn while the audience asked for Miss
Glllyn, who did not appear.
Underlying this plot is the romance
of Sir Brian and Patricia, who has been
raised as a boy and retains many boy
ish traits, but who later becomes truly
s woman. Patricia Is the daughter of
s tenant on the estate, but social dif
ferences are forgotten In the course of
true love.
That Is about the substance of this
pretty bit of the romance of the Ireland
we like to think of. In addition to
the acting of the two leading characters,
the splendid character acting of Joule
Claflin as Mrs. Boyer and of John Ham
llton as Dlnney O’Mara. the ostler, must
not be overlooked. The remainder of
the cast is ordinary.
The engagement closes Wednesday'
l ight at English's.

OH, LA! LA! PERCY’.
HE WEARS A LACE COLLAR
Listen, my children, and you shall
hear a terrible thing.
The men in 1370 will wear lace collars
and lace cuffs and they will murmur
while In the pangs of such
voluptuous expression as a
bunch of rhubarb.”
Percy Bronson utters that expression
snd s bunch of similar ones with Winnie
Baldwin In “Visions of 1070“ by Jack
Lalt, which Is one of the features at B.
F. Keith’s this week.
** Lalt In this nutty affair permits the
man to be the “female” of the house and
the woman to be the head of the house.
Bronson has a bunch of violet-tinted ex
pressions which he uses to the rather
lively Winnie.
The “wise ones” get the act from the
beginning but Bronson has to “educate”
the old-fashioned ones who are not ac
customed to hear men addressed as "Sis
ter."
After you get Into the spirit of Lait's
nuttery, you will like this overdrawn
attempt to amuse you and when this
clever team has taken their last bow
yon will agree that It is rapid and new
nonsense. The entire affair is well done.
Emma Carus la the headliner on the
bill and she Insists on doing a mono
logue concerning baseball and the Demo
cratic administration. While she Is do
ing the regular Emma Carus "stuff" she
Is head and shoulders over all of them,
but, Emma, for the love of Mike, keep
off that baseball stuff. Dance If you
will but refrain from the monologue.

act wins the hearts of the children. Fish
er’s Circus Is enjoyable to the children
and the grown-ups ns well. Any Indian
apolis father who refuses to take his
children this week to the Lyric should
be indicted on a charge of cruelty.
The act of merit on the bill Is the
Beatrice Morrell Sextette, composed of
six highly trained women soloists and
Instrumentalists, who have tho courage
to present opera selections. The act Is
probably too clasaical for popular vaude
ville, but good music would win In a
thunder storm and this sextette wins on
a bill crowded with Jazz music.
The Four Casting Campbells have for
years, been a recognized aerial act and
their work this sens in Is as meritorious
ns In past seasons. McCormick and Wlne
hlll offer a "nut” act called “Just for a
Laugh.” Wlnehill is clever and McCor
mick Is a satisfactory foil for the “nut”
expressions of his partner. Watts and
Ringgold are noisy In song but good
while dancing. Tho man of the team has
a clever cigar stunt which Is good for
much applause. •

HICKEY TICKLES THE IVORY
IN A SY'NCOPATINO SPECIALTY.
Hickey Btops the show.
That Is what Harry Le Van, known
as "Hickey,’’ Is doing in Dixon’s “The
Big Sensation,” which Is the curtent of
fering at the Park. Le Van and two
other men, known as The Three Sensa
tion Syncopaters. have the ability to stop
proceedings with a “nut" musical act.
Le Van Is a wizard on the piano and
the banjo-ukelele. While these three
men are on the stage they dispense chat
ter and melody of the type which causes
an audience to demand more. Le Vnn
believes in giving his audience what they
want and he is working fcls head off
this season.
It Is seldom that a musical extrava
ganza has so much entertaining ma
terial crowded Into the first act. A cam
era stunt, rather wild In spots, Is a
heavy laugh getter In the hands of Le
Van. Elsie Donnelly wins In “Apple
Blossom Time,” and is aided by a chorus

has a cleverly presented song number
in “Ring, Ring, Ring," which Is the
well known telephone number presented
in anew manner.
There is lot of speed to this show and
the cootumes of the chorus and the prin
cipals easily are the most elaborate seen
at the Park this season. We thought
the Lena Dailey show set the pace, but
"The Big Sensation" goes beyond the
Dailey show.
The Park Is sheltering a show this
week which the management could guar
antee and It would not lose a cent.
