"Madame Sherry" is coming to North Platte, to tho Keith Theatre, on Mon day night, Feb. 20. Onco in many years a musical comedy is produced which combines all the ele ments that go to make an audlenco thorughly enjoy itself and cry for more. Such u production Is "Mndame Sherry," the gay French vnudevllle offered by Woods, 'Frazoo and Lederer and which hns scored n triumph by the side of which nil o tho r musical successes of the present decade pale and grow insignifi cant. "Mndame Sherry," in its origi nal French form, delighted the Parisians for two years, and versions of it have been enjoyed by Berlin, Vienna and London. It was Otto Hauerbach, the .brilliant -,youngllbrettlBt, who eon Btructcd the American version, whlje Earl Hoschna furnished the musical scoro, any one of whose twenty-two gems would have carried aay musical production to success. One of its num bers In particular, "Every Little Move ment Has a Meaning All Its Own," has become a world-wide furore, and It is being sung, played and whistled wlwrever music is known. Chicago, who first pawed judgment oh "Madame Sherry," pronounced it the best musical comedy in years, ,nd kept It all sum mer; very quietly the production epeaed at the New Amsterdam Theatre, la New York, last August, and the next morning the metropolis knew that "Madame Sherry" was just tho dataty diversion it had been looking for In vaia for many years, anil the delightful gaiety has been breaking all attendance records ever since. Book and music, however, are by no means the only remarkable features a- bout "Madame Sherry," and eves with out so much that Is bright and laughable in the comedy, and tuneful and whlstl- able In the score, the productioa would be one above the ordinary. Very seldom does one find so many excellent parts ia a musical comedy, and still more seldem are so many capable people engaged la one company to portray them. The pick of the musical comedy werld has beea secured for "Madame Sherry," aad each member of the cast contribute generously to the success of the per formance. There are Oscar Figman, for the past threo years chief cemedlaa with "The Merry Widow "and formerly star of "The Tenderfoot" and "The" Burgomaster;" there is Ann Tasker, the dalntiestfigure on the musical stage, who scored bo emphatically last 7ar ia New York aa prima donna of "The Sil ver Star," Mary Qulve, younjer sinter of Graco Van Studdidiford, and herself prima donna of "Woodland" and "The Country Girl" recently; Lottie Kendall, star of the Kendall Opera Company, so popular In San Francisco for several years; Dorothy Morton, on of the fav orites of farce and musical comedy: Harry Benham, a light comedian of ex ceptional ability; William Cameron, the nlmblo footed comedy star; Harold Re hill, Edward Elkas nnd numerous others equally clever. The famous feminine talking chorus made J?opuarbjr, "Madame Sherry" In New York, will be seen here, as well as threo of the most beautiful stage settings ever of fered in a musical production.
