exquisite the book consistent funny and clever and the ensemble numbers are delightfully artistic There are sur prises without agitation and a com mendable plot with amusing situation not all dependent on the music and dancing The garnishing of the play lies not alone in its splendid dainty chorus its scenery and the motor boat race but in the fairylike electric effects with which its producer H H Frazee has so clev erly clothed it A Girl at the Helm is high class dainty like its chorus and makes and retains a good impres sion Temple Theatre McCook Tues day Oct 19th D of H
