TAKE IT FROM ME" AQAIN ON TOUR
The musical play which is to be the successor
to "Irene" at the Vanderbilt Theatre, New York,
is now in rehearsal and will have its premiere
performance at New Haven, October 3, after
which event it will come here for a run of in-
definite length. Its title is "The Little White
House," and James Montgomery is the author of
the book, while Harry Tierney wrote the music
and Joe McCarthy the lyrics. The piece is being
staged under the direction of that famous Eng-
lish directress, Mine. Claire, who came here from
the London Gaiety Theatre under contract with
the Vanderbilt Producing Co. to stage their pro-
ductions. In the cast are Virginia O'Brien,
Bobby Higgins, John Junior, J. O. Doud Clark
and others. Leo Feist, Inc., will publish the
"GREENWICH FOLLIES" SONGS
M. Witmark & Sons Publishing Four of the Hits
of That Production
The "Greenwich Village Follies" of 1921 is
considered to be one of the best musical come-
dies that has hit Rroadway this season. It is
especially rich in song material and some of
the "novelties" in particular are assured suc-
cess.
M. Witmark & Sons are the publishers of four
of these numbers, "Down the Old Church Aisle,"
by Ray Perkins, and sung by the inimitable
comedian, Ted Lewis; "Kill 'em With Kind-
ness," featured by Al Herman; "I've Got the
Red, White and Blues," introduced by James
Duffy, and "Sundown Brings Memories of You."
"Take It From Me" looks like developing from
a hardy annual into a mighty healthy perennial.
This merry musical comedy by Will B. John-
stone and Will R. Anderson opened its third
season in Cleveland last week and proved as
fresh and mirth-provoking as ever. All the old
musical hits remain, and with good reason, for it
would be hard to find anything better to take the
