"LITTLE BOY BLUE." | The country Is dance crazy. Quea* tlons of national importance are ignored, the best selling novels have h fallen off in demand, the moving picture houses are not doing so well, the regular theatres arc complaining. 3 but the dance whirls on. He Is there'9 fore a wise theatrical producer who ^ instead of ignoring the public taste l* in this matter goes ahead and caters l* to it. For this reason the new Viennese n musical comedy. "Little Boy Blue," which will be seen here early this n season, will be strongly welcomed. ? It is announced by the management s" of this piece that the best' dancing " chorus possible, at the highest salaries ever paid the "merry merries," has boon engaged for the tour. These 'r girls are not the typical Broadway '* courtesans erroneously called show* girls, but beautiful young women, 8 who can sing and who can certainly d dance. 11 Society dancing on the profes0 sional stage has brought about one s glorious thing. The prancing, joxnping, resln-volced "pony," who used to shriek from the oakum curls of a many-wig and try to entertain exclusively the tired business man In the front row, is now sent to the discard; that Is hack to school or the home for aged ladies, as the case demands. Her placo has been taken by the girl of average height. The "medium" now reigns supreme on the American stage, and It is doe to 1 the fact that graoefulneaa and digII nity have found their places at last In our public dances, and meaningless agility, no matter how cute In ;o its baby socks and spring-heels, has* Dl been spanked and sent home. s" The first act of "Little Boy Blue" . g ld is laid in the Cafe Taharln, Paris. *' The producer of the famous maxim ,n scone in "The Merry Widow" surse passed it in this great stage pieture. a" The resplendent interior la contlnulo ously filled with expert and beautl- J in ful women doing the latest society >n dances.
