...TIME, Nov. 22) and Beatrice gillie who makes all men laugh in Oh, Please! The latter vehicle is a rickety contraption, muscial comedy, about an actress who invades the home of the President of the Purity League while his wife is on leave of absence. Apparently the Dillingham production executives tossed Miss Lillie the script with its two good songs ( Nicodemus" and "You Know That I Know ) and its feeble lines, and told her to see what she could with it. In its profound inanity she discovers as many laughs as are to be heard in one theatre anywhere along...

...City Chap. A good many seasons back John Barrymore was helping people dismiss their troubles in a comedy by Winchell Smith called The Fortune Hunter. Charles Dillingham has resuscitated this hardy veteran, set it to music by Jerome Kern, and given Richard ("Skeet") Gallagher the leading role. It is doubtful if Mr. Gallagher will ever be a Barrymore; yet he serves the purpose well enough. It is doubtful if The City Chap will be a sensation; yet it, too, is sufficient for its purpose...
When Mr. Charles Dillingham went there this fall with Mr. Basil Dean, Author Barrie's special ambassador to the U. S., they saw to it that the forest grew enormously,, that the Indians multiplied, that the pirate crew recruited many a new hand and the funny old pirate ship became a thundering big frigate.
