QUEERS THEATRE
The brilliant success that attended ‘ Mickey,’ starring Mabel Normand, is sure to be repeated with ‘ Upstairs,’ which, came to the Queen's Theatre to-day. In this humorous production Miss Normand plays as a poor little slavey in a big hotel. She didn’t know a soup ladle from a salad spoon, but, oh, how she could shimmy! She used to bathe dishes in a swell hotel, but every time that zippy jazz band started syncopating she just couldn’t make her feet behave. Then she decided to show the high-kickers upstairs in the cabaret some new wrinkles in the great art of fast living. She “borrowed” a swell Lady Duff Gordon outfit, and one-stepped into the cabaret. An eloping heiress who looked like our hapless heroine; a bungling detective; a raillion-dol-lar bellhop, and then the fun started. It all happens in ‘ Upstairs.’ The exploits of the German submarine U35 and No. 11 of tlie 1 Stingaree’ serial are unusually good auxiliaries.
