"THE CANARY" PROVES REAL HIT
New Dillingham Production at Globe Theatre
Promises to Run for the Season
"The Canary," a new musical show from the
French, of Georges Barr and Louis Verneuil,
with music by Ivan Caryll, opened recently at
the Globe Theatre, New York. Charles Dilling-
ham is the producer, and Julia Sanderson and
Joseph Cawthorn head the cost, supported by an
excellent company. The show, like several of
the past Dillingham productions at the Globe
Theatre, seems destined to live through a whole
season with probably a long road tour. No ex-
pense seems to have been spared in the produc-
tion, and as the New York Times states the
entertainment scores "by virtue of great lib-
erality and dash." Probably the most success-
ful numbers of the show are the following:
"Thousands of Years Ago," "Only in Dreams,"
"Julie and Her Johnnies," "This Is the Time,"
"Love Me in the Spring" and "Oh, Doctor."
T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter are the
publishers of the score.
