THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 25, 1920.
"MAY TIME"
CLOSES BOYD'S
AT the Boyd theater for the fare
well week of its career Messrs.
Shubert "will present their
great company of the long: New
York run in "Maytime.''. William
Norris, Carolyn Thomson and Mel
vin Stokes are the featured artists.
"Maytime. Yhso far removed from
the tough and tumble, jazz-jangle ol
conventional musical comedy that
., the announcement of its re-advtnt
in this city it calculated to bring a
.,, wave of genuine joy to all who love
, that which is best in both music
nd drama. Its sweet and often
,.. serious comedy of sentiment, with
the dainty and tuneful melodies run
, ninjj through it, its splendid com
; pany rjf presenting artists and the
exquisite- eries of scenes and cos
, tumes with which the Messrs. Shu
bcrjt have dressed it, make of this
an altogether ideal attraction for, an
evening at the theater.
The action f "Maytime" covers
.over 60 jrears of time in "little old
;New Yok." The piece is played
in four acts or episodes, which start
in 1840 in Washington Square, and
end in a fetching scene in a dress
making establishment of the present
time. P. T. Barnum is one of the
characters in the play and "Jump,
Jim Crew," the famous dance which
your grandparents indulged in dur
ing the days of crinoline, is only one
. of a score of unique and altogether
charming dances. Then there is the
lovely song "Will You Remember,
. Sweetheart," which has sung its way
j irrto the heart and memory tlie world
over. Miss Carolyn Thomson will
lagain be seen as the heroine; Ottillo
' Van Zandt. Miss Thomson satig this
role for a year in New York and was
also the original Otille of -the-' Chi
cago cast, with John Charles-Thomas
playing opposite her. William
Norris, comedian of many memories,
will be seen as Matthew Van Zandt,
of which role he was the originator
on Broadway, while Melvin Stokes,
the possessor of a fine tenor voice,
will be the Richard Wayne, and
singer of the lovely song, "Will Yeu
Remember." There are many more
of the original New York cast, in
eludinjr Douglas Wood, Arthur AI
bro. Tcbby Webb, "and Edna ana
Genevie Temple, Amy Leicester, Ed
ward F. Nannary and Nina Valieri,
Ruth Watson. Iseth Munro and Wil
liam Blaisdell are newer members.
Ther is the same large ensemble of
beautiful singing and dancing girls
and the same opulent array of cos
tumes of the four periods through
which the romance takes its course.
Fanchon and Marco, the' dancing
artists, and stars of "Let's Go!", the
revue which held forth in San Fran
cisco for 10" capacity weeks, will
be seen at the Brandeis for the en
tire week, starting tonight, with
matinees on Wednesday and Satur
day. "Let's Go!" makes no claims
to, a plot, for it is a merry hodge-
. F?ge of comedy, music4, pep" and
girls. Comedy scenes-of the uproar
' ort follow the bright vaude
ville turns; dancing is interspersed
throughout and one novelty follows
another with rapidity. Fanchon and
Marco scored effectively- in their
tours of the Orpheum circuit, ' but
thv ire seen at their best in "Let's
:Go!"' But Fanchon and Marco have
seen to it that the supporting Cast is
the. best that could be - secured.
Among others in the company -are
Arthur 'West, blackface comedian;
. Madame Ida Gold, prima " donna;
Davt Lerner, Eileen Miller, Nelson
and Chain ,tnd Mildred Mayo, 'not
foregetting the chorus, composed of
tht "30 most beautiful girls in the

who returned to vaudeville a
few months ago after a lapse
of four years, has been engaged for
a tour of the Orpheum circuit. For

she is given full opportunity to dis

called -"Beginning of the World." It
is an act described as a trevesty
play performed by living colors and
featuring Mile Laluce as the spirit
of color. Comedy as well as skill
is combined in the act to be offered

Maude Lambert, musical comedy
star, and Ernest R. Ball, popular

had that position. When I was a
girl I wanted a home. I have the
home, just as I planned it in those
days. I wanted celebrity. I have' it.
None of these, things amount to any
thing, however. I want something
more. Yet I feel content now to
drift. I- don't have to work any
more. I'll never be happy unless I
work. There ore the opposite view
points. From now on, however, I'm
going to do just the things I want
to do. I have no plans. I feel as
young as I did when I was 7 years
old. But I know in my heart I.'m
not as young. Perhaps you'll see
me coming around here playing
character roles soon." She laughed.
"Nineteen years ago I started in
the chorus in San Francisco with a
stock company," said Miss Hoff
man. "Wc put on all the better light
operas and musical comedies. I got
teal experience in staging and in di
rection in that company. Soon I
went to a dramatic stock company
there. The stars were Florence Rob
erts and Lewis Morrison. I was a
protege of Miss Robert's and it
was through her that I got my first
chance. She sent me east to St.
Paul, and I appeared there in a musi
cal comedv.
"Then I went into a musical stock
company in Richmond, Va. I was
pieces for a year and a half. After
that I went to New York and stage
stage manager and I put on all the
managed pieces for Hammerstein. I
put on Elsie Janis first success.
Then I went into vaudeville.
"Later I played opposite George
Cohan in "The Governor's Son," that
was 'afterward renamed "The
Honeymooners." I then went to Eu
rope and studied dancing in Paris.
While abroad I was engaged to ap
pear in America in 'Salome,' and I
did.
"I've always been glad that I
brought the first Russian ballet to
this country. I had seen it abroad
and I longed to have it done here.
It cost me $65,000. The public didn't
want it; it came before its time. No
one knew what it was about. In the
east they couldn't write intelligently
about the ballet; it was only when
we came in this direction that re
viewers didn't treat it as a sort of
'Follies.' I'm glad that I did 'Sumur
un' also. I don't think the general
public cared much for that. But it
satisfied me do you understand? it
gave me a feeling that I personally
achieved something bigger, that I
had grown by producing these
things."
