LYRIC
“THE LITTLE SNOB” May McAvoy is especially captivating as Maizie Banks, daughter of the proprietor of a Coney Island concession in “The Little Snob,” now at the Lyric Theatre. She draws the crowd by being dressed as a diminutive jockey. Across the broadwalk is the side-show, where Jim, Maizie’s rough-neck “beau,” is barker. Maizie’s father has set his heart on making a “lady” of her, and so she is sent off to a fashionable boarding school where she spends pa’s hard-earned sheckleg. and ends by becoming ashamed of him and of his occupation. A fortune-hunting lounge lizard sets a trap for her, and it is with him and the jazzy rich girls from school that she visits Coney Island. She has kept from them the fact of her humble origin, and only when they ridicule her own people does the snobbishness leave, and the real Maizie flame out. An amazing comedy of lower deck life in the navy, “Sailors Don’t Care,”
starring Estelle Brody, will also be shown.
