' “EAST SIDEI—WEST SIDE” ■ “East1 Side—West Side," the comedy which the Pickert Stock company will present at the Academy, Monday, Tues day, and .Wednesday nights and Wed nesday matinee, is by Henry Hull and Leighton Osmun, and was first pro duced. at the Playhouse, in New York city, under the title of "Manhattan.” After a brief sojourn at that theatre the comedy was given a new title and moved to the Nora Bayes theatre, in New York, where it played to capacity ■audiences for three months. On ac count of traveling conditions it was de cided not to make a road tour of the comedy, and it was immediately re leased for stock. Manager Kermon was one of the first to secure a contract to present the play in stock. ■ ■ Many critics and reviewers have likened "East Side—West Side” in a general way to the wonderfully suc cessful comedy, "Peg O' My Heart,” in .which Laurctte Taylor achieved her greatest triumph. In the leading role Miss Pickert will have a splendid op portunity to win new laurels.

Expectations were high and they were in full measure, realized, as the performance, smart in dialogue and well Ailed with many bright and snap py scenes, was charmingly staged, which rendered the production unus- I ually attractive to the eye, while the music and the dancing chorus, which was small but of the best looking that ever trod the Academy stage, were . other strong features. * ' “The central figure, of course, was j ‘Blanche Ring. who everybody loves, as i her winning smile seems to radiate ; good feeling. Time has been very kind to her, as her beauty is just as fetching as ever and she still just oozes out per sonality. Her voice is not quite so ser viceable. but she knows how to put a song over the footlights; in her posing as Cleopatra and Helen of Troy, her graceful figure, robed in attractive and clinging costumes, was displayed to particular advantage and was a tiling of art. Her latest and best song. ‘Make Hay, Hay. Hay.' a duet with Mr. Winninger, won much applause. “The star's leading support fell on Charles Wihninger, who, in the Ger man role of Wolfie Wafflesteic. was exceedingly amusing and he held his audience to attention a!! the time. He was specially good in the number. ‘Who Ate Napoleons With Josephine.' This was Mr. Winninger's first ypear ance here in a long time and he will be welcome should he return. In private life he is the husband of Miss Ring. “Other features of the performance that won favor were the male quartet, whose singing left a pleasing impres sion, the acrobatic dancing of Mary To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bront* Quinine* tablets Be sure you get BROMQ The box bears this signature Price 30c.
