"HONEYDEW" PROVES A SUCCESS
New Musical Comedy With Score by Efrem
Zimbalist, the Noted Violinist, Well Received
at Premiere in New York This Week
Following the lead of Fritz Kreisler, whose
"Apple Blossoms" proved one of the operetta
hits on Broadway last season, Efrem Zimbalist,
prominent violinist, stepped into the limelight
on Monday night as composer of the music of
"Honeydew," a new musical comedy that
opened at the Casino Theatre, under the direc-
tion of Joseph Weber, and scored an immediate
success.
The book of the piece is by Joseph Herbert,
and although the plot is somewhat thin, as is
usual with musical comedies, there is enough
originality displayed to make it well worth
while. The story is wound around the matrimo-
nial adventures of several couples with those of
Henry Honeydew, played by Hal Forde, and
Sylvester Adams, enacted by John Park, stand-
ing out in contrast. Divorce courts and moth-
ers-in-law also appear.
The production is full of lively music for both
songs and dances, and no opportunity for in-
jecting a bit of melody appears to be over-
looked. Several excellent voices serve to add
to the attractiveness of the score. J. H. Remick
& Co. publish the score.
VINCENT SHERWOOD ON VACATION
Vincent Sherwood, general Eastern manager
of the McKinley Music Co., New York office,
accompanied by his wife, left New York re-
cently on a vacation and will be gone for a
period of several weeks. Alfred Haase, the

of the above company, will be in charge of the
offices during Mr. Sherwood's absence.
PRINCE SEES "THE CAT STEP"
While Prince Carol of Rumania was in New
\ork, a special performance of "The Cat Step"
was given at the Cafe de Paris. This is a new
dance that has created much comment in both
the music and dance world. It was composed
by Louis Breau and Ray Henderson and was
one of the sensations at the recent convention
of American Dancing Masters, held at the Hotel
Astor.
Mrs. John Drake, of the Vanderbilt Hotel,
has recently been taking instructions in this new
dance for the purpose of introducing it in Rome,
Italy, as an innovation.

"GREENWICH FOLLIES" A HIT
New Edition I s Full of Bright Lines, Clever
People and Excellent Music
The new "Greenwich Follies of 1920" recently
opened in New York at the Greenwich Village
Theatre and according to all reports it surpasses
the high standard set by its predecessor. There
is already talk of the show having to yield to
the demand for seats and move to a more com-
modious house.
Critics and public alike are agreed on the
high quality of the new entertainment, viewed
from any angle. As in the 1919 version, John
Murray Anderson, the producer, again has the
honor of showing some delightful surprises. He
