i HEW SMART SET CF: THE NEW YORK Z2t liniiL BEST IN COMPANY'S HISTORY TiiUKSDAY, SErTLML 23 A REAL SHOW: (BY LESTER A. WALTON.) TO local theatregoers interested in colored musical shows I desire to impart this piece of information: The Smart Set Company has at last brought a real show to Harlem. In fact, to be more outspoken and to become on more intimate terms with the tryth, the Smart Set Company has come to-Harlem the only show of its career. And if you are a bit incredulous as to the truthfulness of these statements, wend yourway to the Lafayette Theatre, where the company is U. 4 HOMER TUTT and BLANCHE THOMPSON presenting for one week only its new piece, "George -Bullion Abroad," and take notice.

"George Washington Bullion Abroad' is a three-act musical comedy in three acts and seven scenes, and is the most pretentious offering the owners of the Smart Set Company has put out in the history of the organization the days of Ernest Hogan and S. H. Dudley not excepted. Heretofore, given by the Smart Set Company have been long on comedy but very short on costumes and scenery. So it is a most delightful fall surprise to see members of the company romp about appropriately dressed and wearing costumes consistent with the atmosphere that the scenery suggests, and one is moved to a high pitch of enthusiasm upon observing that the scenery is not the same as used a decade ago.

That the public is hungry for colored musical shows or rather colored shows of real merit is being made evident this week at the Lafayette Theatre where large numbers have been turned away at both afternoon and evening perform ances. Colored and white theatregoers are in a mood to largely patronize col ored musical productions; that is, those that are up-to-date and wholly in keep' ing with the times. In effervescing over the scenery and costumes in "George Washington Bui lion Abroad" I should not overlook the other features that help materially to make it a show. The book, written by Salem Tutt Whitney, contains laughs galore, many of the merry jests being subtle and reflecting the mental capacity of the designer of the situations and verbal sallies. The lyrics were written by J.

Homer. Tutt, while James Vaughn, assisted by the Whitney boys, has writ ten a number of pretty songs, "Love Me Anywhere," "Don't Do That to Me, Dear," "Manyauna" and "Strutting Sam" being worthy of special mention. Jennie Hillman, long the wardrobe mistress of the Smart Set Company, is in the best of humor, as she designed the costumes for "George Washington Bullion Abroad." It has afforded me no little pleasure to watch the gradual development of Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt in their respective lines of the dramatic art, and I would be dreadfully disappointed if my prediction, made some three seasons ago, that they are destined to some day assume an enviable status in the theatrical firmament, did not materialize. In their struggle toward top they have been ably assisted step by step by one: thing intelligence and as long as you possess this requisite, together with grit- and determination, one usually succeeds in the.

long run, no matter how rocky the road or how numerous the knockers. In "George Washington Bullion' Abroad Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt deport themselves more creditably than ever as comedians. A newcomer in the show who attracts favorable attention is Luke Scott, who, as Chameleon tfoman, a detective, enacts five characters. Hattie Akers continues to keep pace with the Whitney brothers along the tines -of development, and she is responsible for scores of laughs in the showi 5 She is certainly a coming comedienne.

Blanche Thompson's singing stands out in bold relief as usual, and Will Dixon, Frank Jackson, Ethel Marshall, Ethelyn Proctor and Irene Tasker have speaking parts which show them to advantage. If you want a good early fall tonic go to the Lafa.vette Theatre this week to see "George Washington Bullion Abroad," but go early so as not to miss the first act, which, with its' Dixi Atmosphere, humorous situations and musical numbers, is easily the "one best bet."
