It is much the same with any man's life. He must run up against hard luck if he is to develop grit, he must have reverses if he is to get ahead, he must fall down if he is to get up and go higher.

CRESWELL (Reviewed Wednesday evening, Feb- ruary 11, 1925.) "The Jollies of 1925" opened Wed- nesday evening to an enthusiastic au- dience that crowded New Trier audi- torium to the walls and made those same walls resound with much de- served applause and laughter. The program of this year's annual Indian Hill Improvement association show claimed that it.had "everything from ragtime to grand opera." And it had everything. In fact, the only fault we could possibly find with "The Jollies" was that they gave too much entertainment for a single night, thus causing us to lose some of our preci- ous beauty sleep. Featured by a pulchritudinous and well drilled chorus that did most of the Tiller girls' tricks of legmania, the 1925 edition of "The Jollies" also had plenty of singing and snappy jokes. The first act of the revue was in the form of the old time minstrel show but with a modern chorus as a back- ground of beauty which paradoxically, was also prominently in the fore- ground a good share of the time. Bernice Mendelsohn, as the Sheriff, . led the chorus singing and dancing with her bevy of choristers in "Every- one Loves to be Dancing" for repeated encores. Miss Mendelsohn considerable stepping ability. Rollicking Minstrelsy After this interlude the curtain arose upon a scene representing the typical And Frank old time minstrel show. showed | M. Root, as interlocutor, with his crew of balladists, harmonists and end , men put over a clever crop of gags, riddles, and "local" wisecracks with | several popular and timely melodies | sandwiched in between. . rwig pleased the crowd so mightily with the ever present song hit of today "All Alone" that they were loath to let him go. W. A. Snyder also showed a pleasing and melodious voice in one of our own pet songs "Dreamer of Dreams." C. A. G. Kuipers put over "I Wasn't Scared" for a big laughing hit. G. Weise, George W. Perrigo and A. O. Wilcox sang solos that pleased and Mr. Root joined with Messrs. Orwig and Snyder in a melodious trio. Norman Clark, Russell G. Flood, C. A. G. Kuipers, George W. Perrigo, Willis Stutson, Giles Weise, Thomas Wheatley and A. O. Wilcox acted as end men and indulged in the comic repartee with Interlocutor Root. The second part, called act two for no particular reason, consisted of five scenes, and had many bright and colorful spots, the concluding scene being of the usual cabaret variety, showed the chorus at its best led by the graceful and comely Ann Kenny as Miss Suzette, and working in re- markable precision a la Tiller girls. Remember please that those Lon- don Music hall favorites have worked | together for months, if not years, | whereas these amateurs had been to- | gether but a few weeks and for but a few hours at a time. Burlesque Has Place | A. and G. Weise put over a sort | of "Mulligan and Mulligan From the | West," and Gallagher and Shean "vod" | act, Mrs. B. H. Law sang a solo and | Messrs. Perrigo, Kuipers and Mercadel indulged in a hat-breaking stunt of the type well known to burlesque fans--however the crowd howled aloud their glee, and that's what counts. G. W. Perrigo and the Red Caps, using both the male and and the fem- inine chorus grouns in some peppy hoefing in the "Pullman Porter Blues" number gave the second act a good start. W. A. Snyder and S. B. Orwig stopped the show: in some broad but harmonious and laughable burlesque grand opera. Lois Norberg led a group of youthful ponies in a beauti- ful nursery rhymes episode. Merry Suicide Act Miss Mendelsohn, with Messrs. Faxon and Davis, scored as the weep- ing heroine of a suicide bit similar to that which Florence Moore did in the 1924 Edition of The Music Box Revue. "The Jollies of 1925" was a "wow" and reflected credit on Coram T. Davis, who was programed as gen- eral chairman of the show committee, and those who were responsible for the entertainment. This year's Im- provement Association revue was put on under the direction of The Joe Bren Production company and was staged and rehearsed under the per- sonal direction of Charles J. Correll and H. Ted Routson. Credit should be given to Mr. Routson for the man- ner in which he directed the orchestra and company--that boy was working every minute and it was a treat to watch him fetch forth the syncopation from his gang of willing workers. And too much can hardly be handed to Messrs. Correll and Routson or whoever drilled that chorus. We'll see you all at the 1926 Jollies, you couldn't keep us away! TASTE MODERN: ALSO CLASSIC Chamber Concert is Study in Contrasts BY MUSIC CRITIC The Gordon string quartet pre- sented an enjoyable program of cham- ber music last Sunday afternoon, February 8, at the Ker /lworth As- sembly hall. Two numbers made up the program, sne from the pen of a modern, Chausson, and the other from the pen of a classic, Mozart. Many preferred the former, and many just 1s sincerely preferred the latter. Af- ter hearing the Chausson composi- tion, a neighbor of the writer said, "Give me Beethoven," thereby indi- cating a rather old-fashioned but ex- cellent taste. The writer found Chausson very engaging and reason- ably intelligible. The audience liked each well enough to ask for, and ob- in, encores for both pieces. That the playing of the four art- ists was beyond criticism was to be expected, for the Gordon quartet is unsurpassed in technical ability and interpretive power. The next program of the North shore chamber music association will be given on Sunday afternoon, March 29, by the Czerwonky Trio. Inasmuch as this will be the closing recital of the series, those who attend will be asked to sign up for next year's series. Those who desire to attend this con- cert of March 29, even though not regular subscribers, may buy admis- sion tickets at the door.
