Boston ‘THEATRE. 
Clifton Crawford, foremost among 
the singing comedians of the day, has 
at last achieved stellar honors and 
under the management of Henry B. 
Harris will come to the Boston Thea- 
tre for a limited engagement i his 
new play, “My Best Girl,” beginning 
Monday evening, November 11. There 
will be matinees on Wednesday and 
Saturday and a special matinee on 
Thanksgiving Day. 
The story of “My Best Girl’ has to 
do with Dickie Vanderfleet (played 
by Mr. Crawford). He finds himself 
one morning in a car in an automobile 
salesroom. He had started the night 
before for the Mauretania and _ has 
been returned to the salesroom with 
the car. The car contains another 
passenger, a little girl who has crawled 
among the cushions to get warm. 
Upon discovering the girl Vanderfieet 
begins a romance which ends in his 
bethrothal to “my best girl.” 
Henry B. Harris has given to Mr. 
Crawford’s piece the splendid produc- 
tion which it warrants. The three acts 
are beautifully mounted and the gowns 
of the girls elaborate and the last 
word in fashion’s speech. “My Best 
Girl,” it is promised, will be the best 
sort of musical comedy entertainment. 
Houyis STREET ‘THEATRE. 
David Belasco’s production of “The 
Concert”, begins its second and last 
week next Monday night. This re- 
turn engagement of “The Concert” 
promises to be a memorable one. Mr. 
Belasco has made several changes in 
the cast which have been improve- 
ments. ‘The most important one was 
in the leading female role, which is 
now played by Isabel Irving. 
The main character of “The Con- 
cert” is still played by Leo Ditrich- 
stein. Mr. Ditrichstein, who adapted 
this play from a German one of the 
same name, adds to the gaiety of the 
day by his remarkable impersonation 
of a musical genius. It would be hard 
to name another actor on the stage to- 
day who could give such a finished 
performance as Ditrichstein does in 
this difficult role. 
“The Concert” is an unusual comedy 
inasmuch as the majority of the char- 
acters are portrayed by women. There 
are only three male parts in the play. 
Because of this reason it makes a par- 
ticularly strong appeal to women play- 
goers. There will be.a matinee on 
Wednesday and Saturday.
