volplane through tie thre acts of ih
Piay and cn.nrn (a. tuteratitial apacas
in the falirlc of a ready ever plot
so unusual with nrusioal comedies.
True, thi is the t.econd road year
for the production.. True, It waa not
the New York cast, but the same scin
tillating lines were Ultra, the tuneful
mujic was there; in cast of principals
for the most prt was adequate, the
chorus liumbai were suiig well, awn
though Uml organixition was a littlo
shy on looks, but Memphhuwi etarving
for a real musical .comedy overlooked
these shortcomings and if everyone ot
the big a-udience luat night tells a
friend and that friend heeds, crowded
houses will agHin delight Ui heart of
Frank Uray at Friday afternoon's mati
nee and night performances.
Jack Mack is the bright particular
ftar. He ia a genuine comedian. He
does not report to buffoonery and slap
stick methods to get over. His reading
of the lines of James Montgomery's
comedy, "The Aviator." are finished,
not overdone and literally push into
the risibilities even of tha most cat
loured sense of humor even of an over
worked cashier paying city bills on the
10th of tha month. Vhe situations are
worked out we.t and Alack a person
ality dominates every scene In which
he appears. Perhaps this last state
ment might be modified when speaking
of the lady who pjiys opposite him.
Yes. she is a blonde nn attractive
blonde, with a pleasing voice though not
a Oalli-Curcl, but with a pair of eyes
that she must have to leave at the
powerhouse to be recharged everv night
from the electrifying scintillations which
emanate from them. No wonder Kob
ert Street (Jack Mack) in the play
takes his life In til hands and at
tempts and makes his first flight as
an aviator without practice when she
sings "If You book Inlo Her Kyes."
They are the kind that, would make
any of the male gender take a jump
in me iaae u tney were directed at
him hard enough. Her entrance Is
quiet, her way of winning her road to
the hearts of the audience artful, and
like the play Itself, Beatrice Burroughs
lor mat s ner name grows upon one
until at tha finish you want the show
done all over again Just to get a few
more peeKS at Beatrice.

dances, talks with piquancy and charm.
She Is the real dancer of tha shaw
and skips over the stage like a sprite.
She also has a pair of eyes. George
Phelps, as her lover, la a clever young
dancer with a Zosodont (mile, whose
bubbling personality ably seconds both
her and Mis Burroughs In dialogue and
duets In which they appear.
The real male voice of the Dlece.
however, is that of Raymond Ellis, who
plays the part of Jules Qaillard, the
French aviator. He has a semldramatlc
tenor that Is pleasing, though Its res
onance does not carry It quite far
enough. He reads his lines well and
If he is not a Frenchman Sacre Morn
Dleu! he talks like one.
Other principals are all well cast In
eluding Arthur Cunningham, who as
Sam Hoblnson, the mechanician, is the
foil for much of the comedy brought
out by Jack" Mack. There is also Dan
Marble; who has been playing In musi
cal comedies since before "The Isle of
Champagne" began forming In the river
of Imagination like Mud Island In the
Mississippi. He helps along In the
comedy and his hands can be seen
In the way the show whips up with a
snap at tne finish ana enas wun a
bang. .
Tney say chorus girls ars not being
made any more that New York beau
ties who used to kick over the foot
lights, etc., prefer the affluence of the
life of a manicurist beauty parlor dip
lomat or confidante of a plutocratic
chauffeur to making one and two-night
stands on the road. Perhaps they are
right for the only thing lacking in
"Going Up" la a beauty chorus. There
are a few beauties, however, , but they
have a hard time In keeping some of
the young ladles in Una and kicking
and singing in time. The show came
from Nashville Thursday. ,H was four
hours late. Perhaps tney picked up
a few girls at Hollow Rock Junction.
Briggs, the cartoonist, hasn't - drawn
yet, so far as we know, a cartoon en
titled "What Does a Chorus Man Think
About," but he might draw one "What
Does a Manager Think About?" In the
choice of chorus boys. There was one
iast night who came very nearly spear
ing himself In. the Jaw when trying
to do the "Tickle Toe. However, he
afforded great amusement and didn't
trip up any of the other actors. It
is an airplane show. Perhaps this young
man was chosen to take the place of
the airplane if It ever , gets lost with
the fusllage of his ears.,
"Going Up" is a good show and well
worth a visit. NED COURTNEY.
'The Marriage Question."
The engagement of Haxel Warren at I
the Lyric on next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday in "The Marriage yuestion,
her latest success written by Ralph T.
Kettering and Lorln Howard, brings
home an interesting point In the career
oi tnis mucn-iovea ana mucn-iauaea
actress who is accorded the distinction
of being the most popular femlnle star
of Manhattan,
Hasc Warren was bom in Virginia
and attended a public school. As a
child she nursed the desire to play
parts on the stage and as she grew to
maturity through girlhood there arose
within her an ambition to become a
leading actress with her name In big
etters upon the front of the theater.
Her career has not been an easy one.
Probably no actress ever mounted to
fame over a rougher road. Harrassed
by more apparently Insurmountable ob
stacles, she started as a child enter
tainer in cheap vaudeville theaters. She
sang a little, danced a little, and she
Is the authority for the statement that
she was a -very poor entertainer. By
hard and harder knocks she achieved
the fame which she strlved for, that
today her services are in great demand,
not only for the stage but pictures as
well. :
