Who is asleep at the switch
A Girl at the Helm
is a distinct departure from the ordi
nary musical comedy in that its music
is 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
