"Sun Showers", which opened at the Wilbur this week, is just one more of those plotless musical comedies which lay their hopes on their comedian and their dancing. This one, however, is brought out of mediocrity by Harry Delf, who tries to be funny--and succeeds. Just when the patient playgoer has begun to become bored, Harry Delf comes on the stage and laughter is restored once more. Slapstick and vaudeville humor it is, for the most part, but done in a very appealing way.

One thing that left a very favorable impression was the use of pantomime in several of the songs--pieces of highly imaginative acting, which gave a most pleasing result. In this, Delf and Berta Dunn, who was excellent throughout, starred.

Another was the quartet singing of the walters--a little touch which is at present rather unusual in musical comedy, but none the less pleasant when found there. As comedians, Florence Hope as the maid, Florence Morrison as Mrs. Thompson of Mrs. Thompson's boarding house, and Ted McNamara as the bellhop, easily passed the qualifying round.

The music, was very ordinary, with the possible exceptions of "How Do You Doodle" and "Sun Showers", which possessed elements of tunefulness. But Mr. Delf, according to the program, was responsible for book, music, and lyrics, and so we must be lenient with him for not excelling in one field, when the scintillates in the other--that of being funny.
