Only occasionally does there come a show that is original and yet naturally attractive, that has novelty but not so much of it as to jar. "Rang Tang" at the Tremont Theatre is as close an approximation to such an ideal as has been seen in Boston for a long time.

Cast into the form of an effective and pleasantly unpretentious revue, the novelty and chief attractiveness of the production lies in the cleverness of the negro cast which goes through its paces with an air that lends more individuality to the production than the skill of single performers. The musical background of the performance is the best part of it, and the songs and dances are executed with an ease and natural en- thusiasm of which only negroes are capable. This atmosphere in so sirongly prevalent that an unusual degree of continnity is preserved through the succession of unrelated scenes and specialties.

The fact that "Rang Tang" does not go in for undue lavishness of scene and costume is a great relief, for the comparative simplicity is in large measure responsible for its charm. It is also refreshing that there are very few members of the cast that stand out. The whole production is well balanced, but if might be well to add that the specialty dances of Bryson and Jones are the best thing the reviewer has seen for a long time
