Denver Post: When John Cort nut his revival of "King Dodo" on the road he looked after details closely. His production of the pixley Luders comic opera, playing at the Tabor this week, is really complete when it comes to costumes, scenery and stage effects. And it is handled very capa-ily, too. William Friend, the king, is competent in his role and creates a world of ifun. His work as the playful old monarch cannot be too highly commended.

But he isn't the only one in the cast who deserves credit for the success of the show. Eleanor Kent is happily cast as Piola, a soldier of fortune. Miss Kent is a young woman of various stage successes and she is adding to her laurels in the "Dodo" production. Another thing, Miss Kent has some beautiful costumes and all the facilities ifoi- wearing them becomingly. Charles J.

Udell assumes two roles 'wciil. First he is seen and heard as Mudge, the court historian. After his "demise" he appears as Bonilla, the Imh prime minister to Queen Lili. Jn each character he helps the comedy-end of the production out considerably. Frederick C.

Jones makes a good Sancho, the innkeeper. While Osborn Glemson, who plays Pedro, the court chamberlain, isn't a world-beater as an actor, he sings nicely and looks the William Herman West makes an excellent Dr. Fizz. C'liss Phemie Lockhart, as Angela, the king's ward, dances bewitchingly and displays a sweet voice. Laura Millard is this season's Queen Liii, ruler of the Spoojus.

She, also, sings nicely. Especial mention is due Zoe Barnett, as Annette. She is vivacious, can sing and her dancing is far above the average. And now we come to the chorus. It possibly has the best looking bunch of girls the Tabor has had this season.

On the right-hand end (facing, the stage) is about the cutest little girl Denver theatergoers have seen in years. She doesn't look to be more than 1G years old, but if she'll just continue to hold that nose high in the air and look scornfully at the audience, she'll be a star some day. The costumes worn by the chorus are gorgeous, especially in the "white drill." Servant in the House." The following speech tfroni "The servant in the House" has already become a classic. It is called by many conservative critics the most remark able piece of genuine eloquence to be found in any play written in the English language eince the days of ShakesiMDare. The lines are spoken by the "servant," in re sponse to the ibis-hop of Lancashire's request that he tell him something of the wonderful church he has built out in India.

Manson, of course, speaks of tho Universal church, but the bish op supposes he is describing an act ual edifice. Manson: "You must understand, this is no dead pile of stones and 'unmeaning limber. It is a living thing. When you enter it you hear a sound a sound as of some mighty poem chanted. Listen long enough, and you will learn that it is made up.

of the (beating of human hearts, of the nameless music of men's souls that is, if you have ears. If you have eyes, you will presently see the church itself a looming mystery of many shapes and shadows, leaping sheer (from floor to dome. The work of no ordinary builder! The pillars of it go up like the brawny trunks of (heroes; the sweet human flesh of men and women is moulded about its bulwarks, strong, impregnable; the faces little, children laugh out from every corner-stone; the terrible spans and arches of it are the joined hands of comrades; while up above are inscribed the numberless musings of all the dreamers of the world. It is yet building 'building and built upon. Sometimes the work goes forward in deep darkness, sometimes in blinding light; now beneath the burden of unutterable anguish; now to the tune of a great laughter and heroic shoutings, like the cry of thunder.

Sometimes, in the silence of the night-time, one may hear the tiny hammerings of the comrades at work up in the dome the comrades that have climbed ahead." (Referring to this speech in its review of "Teh Servant in the Mouse," the New York Sun said: "One of these dreamers is Charles Rami Kennedy; one of these musings as "The Servant in the House."
