Judy. Beside a song hit presumptive: "When Gentlemen Grew Whiskers and Ladies Grew Old," this musical comedy has Queenie Smith, as ever a charming twinkle-toes. After an uncertain first night it picked up considerably, and is the first clean show with a Greenwich Village setting in many a year. Thin...

Dramatic, he sat at the piano; his long fingers played accompaniments to four songs of his own composition, while his wife, Johanna Klemperer, sang. Her voice, except when she lifted it above F sharp, was rich, colorful, expressive. The song "Es war ein Koenig in Thule" was the most original...
...Cradle Song. This play, translated from the Spanish of Gregorio and Ma ie Martinez Sierra by John Garrett Underbill, is the last and foremost of the 14th Street repertory.
