...Haven, Yale Freshmen are not permitted to sit in the orchestra of Shubert's theatre, or to eat in Morey's restaurant. They must not enter the Hotel Garde, and must carry matches at all times for the convenience of upperclassmen. Freshmen are forbidden to sit on the Sophomore fence, except on the day of the Yale-Harvard Freshman baseball game when Yale wins. They are excluded from the Junior Prom, and only seniors are allowed to go without a hat, or to play marbles...
...opening at the Shubert Theatre the "Topics of 1923" showed a varied assortment of songs, music, costumes, and stage settings, which helped to keep its audience well amused. The far-famed chorus was on hand; wearing costumes which even Mayor Curley could not object to. An orchestra leader named Alfred Goodman did a lot to interpret his own songs to the audience and to the suburban radio fans, and they must have had a gala night of it. Alice Delysia, of stage fame that has long been well established, was the last word in Parisian primal-donnas; while opposite...
With the help of Ted Lewis, several comedians of distinctly high calibre, and a wealth of color and gorgeous effects, the "Passing Show of 1923" Monday night at the Shubert made a successful entrance among Boston's theatrical entertainments. And this in spite a tuneless score, a glaring lack of "feminine pulchritude", and a few heavy, mediocre scenes. The producer and cast, 'tis true, had a pretty flimsy foundation to build upon. Much of the humour was stale and slapstick, and in not a few cases meager ideas succeeded only through the brilliance in their execution. Yet at other times...
Harvard will be interested in Laurence Schwab's new musical comedy, "A Perfect Lady", with Constance Binney, which comes to the Shubert Theatre on December 17th, for the holidays. Laurence Schwab '14, the producer, is a Harvard man, and Lee Simonson '10, who designed the costumes and production were identified with theatricals during their years at college. Schwab was active in Hasty Pudding circles as a student and last year made a special trip to Boston to help stage the Hasty Pudding show, bringing with him the expert Sammy Lee, who staged the musical numbers. Since leaving college Mr. Schwab...
Seldom have we seen a musical comedy so finished, so coherent, and so completely first-rate as "Mary Jane", which opened Monday at the Shubert Theatre. From the first scene on a New York subway train to the final embrace in an unbelievably romantic-looking arbor in Central Park, the action is logical and consecutive, accompanied throughout by peculiarly appropriate music. It was to be expected that the composers of "Wild-flower" would produce something worth while; actually they have outdone them-selves, for while none of the songs, with the probable exception of "Toodle-oo", is as distinctive...
