Theatrical Miss Billie Burke in "Jerry" at the Star Miss Billie Burke will bring her latest and biggest hit and, incidentally, the only American and most amusing play she has ever been seen in, to the Star Theatre, Buffalo, on October 1, 2 and 3. "Jerry" is the title of the piece and it is also the name of the heroine whom Miss Burke impersonates. Mrs. Catherine Chisholm Cushing, who wrote "Kitty MacKay," one of the very few plays that ran all last season in New York and who has two other successes to her credit-"The Real Thing," in which Miss Henrietta Crosman appeared, and "Widow by Proxy," which Miss May Irwin played, wrote it. "Jerry" is a conscienceless young woman from Chicago who wakes up in a sleepy Philadelphia suburb. Some of her relatives live in the Quaker City neighborhood and she comes to visit them. She is the sort of a girl who sees what she wants and takes it with the same scruples that used to actuate the famous James brothers in their dealings with other people's property. The thing that "Jerry" sees, wants and takes in the play is--a man. He is a handsome man, but considerably older than she is. Besides, he is the fiancé of her aunt--and has been for twenty years. That makes no difference to "Jerry." She wants him for her own husband and how she got him is told by the play. Her methods are amusing and unique and they enable charming Miss Burke to show her fascinating personality off to the very best possible advantage. Charles Frogman has always made a point of giving Miss Burke the very best possible supporting company and the cast of "Jerry" is entirely up to--maybe a little ahead of--the standard. Alabama.
