Coaxing oysters to mate is not so easy as it sounds, chiefly because they are not by nature passionate. To get a Cape Cod oyster to look at a Blue Point is difficult enough, but to tease them into falling in love seems absurd. And when it comes down to imploring a Cape Cod or a Blue Point to notice the existence of the bourgeoise such as the East River family, or the "sidey" Chesapeakes, the task appears wholly ridiculous.

Its chief concern is to rouse interest in a millionaire who has unwittingly adopted a young crook and who wants to marry him off to a hand-picked mate. The lyrics, smooth, adroit, prettily rhymed and easily audible, are its only saving grace. Queenie Smith, with her 48 inches of saucy gaminerie, is the biggest asset. She dances like a sunbeam, stopping the show, whenever she gets in motion. Her acute low comedy sense almost twists most of her lines into a laugh. Frank Mclntyre, aside from...
