Hip, Hip, Hooray With Pretty Girls and Music
at the Astoria Theatre Tonight
A distinguished cast supports Rice
and Cady, the two comedy stars in
"Hip! Hip! Hooray!" which comes
to the Astoria Theatre tonight after
a year's run at Weber's Broadway
Music Hall. Belle Dale last season
played a leading role in Geo. M,
ohan's "Talk of New York"; May
Thelps, the prima donna, starred in
"Bob White," and was featured in
"The Gingerbread Man;" Josephine
Magee is pronounced by Anna Held
to be the prettiest show girl in the
world; Mazie Trumball has danced
all over America; Harry Shunk has
a negro role and has been for years
the leading comedian with At G.
Fields' Minstrels; Edward Lynch,
the baritone, is from FriUi SchefTs
company; Wellington Cross, juven
ile, was featured in the "Top o the
World," and several of Geo. M.
Cohan's nroductions. The comoany
of 40 people includes one of the pret
tiest choruses ever sent on the road
and a powerful cast in general. In
stasincr "Hio! Hio! Hoorav!" no ex
pense was spared. AH the gowns
were made in Paris. The production
comes here just as it was seen at
Weber'a Music Halt The scenes arc
laid at a famous University and are
crowded with color; numerous song
hits are scattered through the piece,
and the show goes with a dash that
makes it irresistible.
One night, some years ago, when
Rice and Cady, the stars of "Hip!
Hip! Hooray!" were dressing at a
San Francisco theatre, a card was
brought to them bearing the name of
Joseph Jefferson. A moment later,
the most distinguished actor on the
legitimate stage of America was
ushered into the presence of the de
lighted young actors. He compli
mented them both on the quality of
their work, told them how much he
had enjoyed their comedy, and turn
ing to Rice, said: "You certainly
have learned how to listen, and you
looked so serious while you were do
ing it, that yu doubled the value of
your partner's work. That is acting,
my boy." Rice and ady are the suc
cessors of Weber and Fields, Ger
man dialect comedians, and in "Hip!
Hip! Hooray!" they are seen in the
biggest success that Jos. Weber's
Music Hall has known in recent
years.
