The Crimson Playgoer

Louise Brown Dances to Mediocre Music in "Woof Woof"--Chorus Stands Out in Favorable Light

The Majestic Theatre affords mild entertainment in the form of a musical play entitled "Woof Woof"--selfstyled "a romantic musical comedy". The romance is trite, the music negligible, and the comedy pretty thin, although the general effect is not unpleasing as musical comedies go.

The story centers around a group of performing dogs which the tender hearted heroine undertakes to shelter in the absence of their owner, with no better facilities for housing them than a hall bedroom. Eight dogs and a girl in a small bedroom provides an amusing scene, the dogs adding to the entertainment by their somewhat too casual behaviour.

The dogs are conveniently discovered to be racing hounds, in addition to their other accomplishments, and they save the day for their benefactors by winning the race upon which has been staked every cent of all parties concerned.

Louise Brown, the heroine, possesses the three requirements of a musical comedy star to a well balanced degree. She is attractive to look at, her voice is pleasant enough in tone, if lacking in volume, and her dancing is well above the average. She dances easily and lightly with an unusual charm and grace of movement. One feature, "The Ballet of Dreams" stands out above the rest, an exhibition of toe dancing exemplifying the charm and grace of movements peculiar to this dance other than exaggerated pirouettes.
