"Perhaps there aro a few peoplo in Kansas City who haven't heard of "Lousiana Lou," the pretty, tuneful and really funny musical-comedy that ran for nearly one solid year in Chicago, but when the first local performance at tho Willis Wood last night thero was no ocular evidenco , that there Are any such. The big playhouse was filled from pit to domo, and even the boxes wero crowded to the rails. It was the biggest Sunday night theater audience seen here in n very long time, and that everybody was more than satisfied with the entertainment was attested by tho gon erous and spontaneous applause that kept the play running' for practically three hours. It was such n great big joyous occasion that actors and onlookers entered into the spirit of the thing, and the performers only laughed happily as they responded to five and six oncores instead of the usual one or two. "It has been said and of t repeated that few good things come out of Chicago, and that tho sooner they coma the better they aro 'Louisiana Lou' proves tho exception to the rule. It was written and produced in Chicago and, the persist ent clink of coin at tho box office window kept it playing at tho La Sallo 'for 350 consecutive performances. 'Louisiana Lou,' viewed from nearly every angle of theatrjeatariticism, t)fln either tho over-touted 'Madame Sherry' or 'A" Modern Eve.' Its music is so good, particularly the lyrics, thnt one doubts if they really come from 'Chi.'" "Hep" Blackman said this in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Ft. Worth Bowb to Louisiana Lou.
