Now It Serves as a Play
A play built around the music business re-
cently went on tour. The show is by Herbert
Richard Lorenz and Lew Fields takes the lead-
ing part. The scene of the first act takes place
in the office of a Broadway music publisher and
is said to be an exact reproduction of the activi-
ties in a popular publisher's quarters. Walter
Percival plays the part of a somewhat mis-
understood publisher who in the end, however,
redeems himself. Lew Fields plays the part of
an old music arranger whose Dresden sonata,
written while abroad, is stolen here and changed
to a jazz melody entitled "Moonlight Mama."
Sammy White and Eva Puck, a visiting song
and dance team, sing and dance to the tune of
"Moonlight Mama," which is the theme number
of the play. A comedy song is also used in the
show called "I'd Like to Poison Ivy." The
show, so far, has been well received.
