At no other time during the present theatrical
season have the critics for the daily papers dis-
played such enthusiasm as was aroused by the
production of "The Sunshine Girl," with Julia
Sanderson in the stellar role, at the Knickerbocker
Theater last week. The music of the piece, by
Paul A. Rubens, received special attention from
the writers, several of whom declared that it was
the best and most interesting that had been of-
fered on Broadway for some time past. Some of
the press opinions were as follows:
Globe.—There has seldom been a piece with
such an abundance of good musical numbers as
"The Sunshine Girl." The sextet, "The Butler,"
is novel and really funny; so is "You Can't Play
Every Instrument in the Band," with which Joe
Cawthorn makes his 'best hit. "Who's the Boss?"
is an amusing quartet. Not one of the songs is
really tedious—and of how many shows can you
say that?
Evening Post.—As is usual in these plays, the
music is by Paul A. Rubens and is fully up to the
standard set by him. It never rises to great
heights, and never palls. It has a pleasing swing,
the melodies are sweet without being cloying, and
the whole effect is good.
Evening World.—Although "The Sunshine Girl"
cannot be said to be so rare as a day in June, it
is bright, sprightly and tuneful. Paul A. Rubens
has given it airs that are as light and refreshing
as a summer breeze.
Evening Telegram."The Sunshine Girl" is ef-
fective in supplying a romantic tale in a quaint
setting, with some pretty tunes by Paul A. Rubens,
and with some graceful lyrics from his pen and
from Cecil Raleigh's.
Evening Mail.—The music, by Rubens, we found
fittingly dainty and o'f a popular swing. Miss San-
derson has two or three excellent songs, one con-
cerning the tiny touch of powder that makes every
girl a queen; another relating to the experiences
of a wise young woman who knew her way about,
and a third explaining that although the girls of
a hundred years ago may have been more modest
than the girls of to-day, still there are all sorts
of girls of every age. There are a number of
good duets and the choruses are vigorous.
Other criticisms were equally favorable. The
music af "The Sunshine Girl" is published by
Chappell & Co.
