: V VICTORIA PJjEASES CROWD
Several Hundred People Had to be
Turned Away at Ni afht Performance.
V
(. Several hundred who failed to get In
side at the Victoria las night .will
probably be told by their friends this
mOrnlng what a good' shbw they miss
ed tin ; the presentation of' the first at
traction booked; through" the Qua Sun
Bo!?ng Exchange, which will furnish
vaudevilje and musical . comedy produc
tions for the Victoria" this season. - "
- The company. Is presented by Guy
and Elsie Johnson, the former one of
the best known' producers of tabloid
musical . comedy and vaudeville shows
ever touring the South, and in their
present season's company they. seem tovl
have hit very near to the happy vme
dlum whichv'divides m-usical comedy
from vaudeville; you could not call; it
either singly and tell what the show It,
and the presentation of their ' opening
bill, "The Girl and the. Dude?, yester
day marks a new standard, locally f?r
popular priced attractions. If ... the
shows to follow keep up toMhis stan
dard, a 'record breaking season is as
sured the Victoria. . .
It would be hardly fair to single out
individual -stars for mention, but ref
erence to one or two of the biggest hits
cannot be . omitted. Judging from, the
generally accepted; "criterion of ra sCt-4
cessful theatrical performance, the a.p-,
plause George Wiest and Harry Mey
ers "Two Lads and a;PIano"carried
on . first honors,presen.tingf . ,a real
"Keith" circuit , act , and responding; to
many encores. Later these two artists,"
by' the addition of Miss Louise Wright
and George Sohn, were, merged into
"The Dolly Dimple Quartette," which
was equally satisfying to the audience
of 1,200 people. ' -
Miss Grace Hutchison, with her ren
dition of the "Broadway Blues," put
new vim and life into an old number.
Hers Is perhaps the best rendition of
this old favorite ever seen here. Re
peatedly encored, Miss Hutchison en
tertained the audience for probably ten
minutes or more, and they didn't seem
satisfied then. Miss Elsie Johnson, the
leading lady, with George Wiest, were
enjoyed when they presented "When I
Tap on Your Window," a catchy melo
dy. Guy Johnson has proba-hly gathered,
together the best aggregation of his
long and successful, career; anyway,
that's what a large majority of the au
dience last night seemed Uo think. The
theatre seats'1,100, so there must have
been more than 1,200 to witness the
first evening performance, while long
before the curtain went up they were
turning, them .away at the dqor. w
JOINED SURVEYING PARTY.
Rev. M. T. Plyler Spent Srtnenons Ten
; Days Ont in the Open Air.
Rev. M. T. Plyler, pastor of Grace
Methodist church, believes in the stren
uous life and it was no surprise to
those who knew when they learned
that, he spent ten days of his vacation
with a surveying . party, .carrying
chains and levels and living outdoors
at night. He got plenty of adventure
out of the" excurslonMnto the' wilds and
also was able to perform useful service
at the same time,- .
Donning overalls .and. the other. para
phernalia of those who have "to rough"
it, he worked early and late and when
he came out of the woods looked like
a veteran In. the . service. , He anjoyed
it immensely and cordlklly recommends
for city men suffering with neurasthe
nia or any other kind of - super-sensitive
nerves a trip- into the open air
of the country. It should be said by
way of parenthesis,. however, that the
minister i3 not troubled with any of
these modern ills, as he keeps physi
cally fit all the time.
