“ 0 KAY” IS AGRIBBLE BY US
Joy and Abandon in New Musical
Comedy,
Gertrude. Lawrence, Piggy Wodehouse
and George Gershwin! This group of
names alone is a battle cry to the play-
goer. And in O Kay, the trio has out-
‘done itself.
Starting with disappointing prosaic-
‘ness, the comedy works: itself up until,
with the entrance of Victor Moore, you
settle down into’ your seat with the cer-
tainty that: life is. going to be very worth
‘while for an hour or so.
Gertrude Lawrence seems to have de-
veloped enormously “in personality since
Charlot’s, where’ she was eclipsed by the
more startling figure of Beatrice Lillie.
To the old charm and dashing grace she
has added a trick of taking the audience
into her confidence which is irresistible.
Oscar Shaw makes'a very good. leading
man for her, with precisely her sense of
humor and a lovesick tenor.
The whole line of Wodehouse heroes
comes to life in Gerald Oliver Smith,
playing the Duke of Durham, the rum-
running elegant who “springs from a line
of piers.” One looks instantly for the
Jncomparable Jeeves, but Victor Moore,
in the capacity of Mister McGee, ex-
steward on the Boston and Albany night
boat, more than supplies the deficit. His
is the comedy which one cannot analyze.
afterwards—it is sheer joy to’watch him,
slow, plaintive, painstaking, the Buttling
Bluebird. His genial loved returns make
the second act, the déjeunér a trois be-
fore Jimmy’s latest wedding, one of the
Great Unforgettable Moments in the his-
tory of Drama.
Harland Dixon’s dancing—the kind: of
dancing that only an American can do—
is excellent, while the choruses show a
degree of enthusiasm generally unknown
after the first night.
The piano, as usual in Gershwin scores,
is the chief jazz instrument, subtly excit-
ing to ears wearied by the age of saxo-
phones.

‘The Cabinet of the Christian’ Asso-

Several new books that the Christian
Association thought would be of interest
to its members have been placed ‘in the
New Book Room. . They are on the three
bottom shelves in the second section from
the right hand end. We hope to keep
these shelves filled with the latest books
on religious subjects. Among those there
now are Fosdick’s Modern Use of the

and Bruce Barton’s The Man Nobody
