Joe Goodwin Pulls Off Original Stunt in Con-
nection with Emma Cams' Appearance at
Keith's Theater.
An interesting case of "back-handed" song
boosting came to light last week at Keith's Union
Square Theater, New York, where Emma Carus
was sing:'ng. Her star number, wh.'ch she handles
admirably, is Feist's "That's How I Need You."
With the second chorus a regular "plant" in the
gallery, who possesses an excellent singing voice,
joins in the second chorus, amid much applause,
and when he has finished Miss Carus appeals to
those in the orchestra of the theater to help out.
With the next chorus a young fellow with a voice
that combines the mus.'cal qualities of the roar of
a sick lion and the sound of a circular saw cut-
ting through a knotty board starts to chime in.
He apparently does not know the words, but per-
sists in his singing until the chorus is half fin-
ished and the audience is almost in hysterics.
Even the wise ones fell for the stuff and were
actually grieved to learn later that it was another
"plant" in the person of Joe Goodwin, whose
voice, by the way, is not half so rank as he made it
appear. The stunt had regular boosting backed off
the boards.

sings!

Frank Pix'ey-Gustav Luders' new romantic oper-
etta, "The Gypsy," which opened at the Nixon
Theatre, Pittsburgh, on Monday night and met
with a cordial reception. It is doubtful if the
fathers of "The Burgomaster,"' "King Dodo,"
"The Prince of Pilsen" and other light opera suc-
cesses ever turned out a merrier or more tune-
ful work than "The Gypsy," and they have cer-
tairly achieved a triumph.
Every number, and there are a score or more,
all of them delightful, was repeatedly encored.
In the face of the first night ovation it is difficult
to foretell which of the fifteen or more tuneful
numbers will turn out popular hits. However.
the titles of those that went over with a dash are
herewith given : "There's a Corner in My Heart
That's Empty," "If You Were a Rose," "The Tale
of a Tadpole," "Gems of the Night," "Flirting,"
"If 1 Were Rich," "I Love You as You Are,"
"We Know, Sweetheart, We Know," "The Clasp
of a Friendly Hand," "Every Year is Leap Year,"
"The Bobolink," "Push the Button," "Girls Girls,"
"My Daffydil" and "It's Ridiculous." M. Wit-
mark & Sons publish the music.
