"THE BROKEN IDOL" HEARD IN CHICAGO.
(Special to The Review.)
Chicago, 111., August 29, 1908.
Jerome H. Remick, with his usual far-sighted-
ness—or is it luck—has started in publishing
a number of musical comedies which he has
secured. An undoubted winner is "The Broken
Idol," B. C. Whitney's newest bid for fame
and dollars at the theater which he has modestly
named after himself in this city.
The production was given its Chicago premiere
on Saturday night week, and the audiences have
become more friendly at each performance. The
piece is easily the equal of any of the three
which have been produced at the Whitney The-
ater, and the company assembled together is of
uniform strength and balance.
Mr. Harlan has a sort of Kid Burns part fur-
nished him by Hal Stephens, who wrote the book.
Alice Yorke, who gets the leading feminine
chance, dances exquisitely, and two numbers,
"Love Makes the World Go Round" and "China
Doll," have given her opportunity to draw a
dozen or more encores. These are two of the
best ditties tossed into the production by Egbert
Van Alstyne, but there are several other bright
and tuneful melodies.
The "surprise" of the piece is the balloon
ascension of Alice Yorke, who is wafted clear
out over the audience in a miniature airship.
A NEW SONG BY HARRY LINTON.
"For You're Going to be a Long Time Dead"
is the title of a new song by the well-known
vaudevillian, Harry Linton, which Theo. Bendix
is shortly going to publish.
