Chinese Fortune Sticks

'Thoroughly Modern Millie' is a winner

The story centers around Millie Dillmount, (Kathleen Dwyer) who comes to New York City from Kansas to seek her fortune and marry for money during the 1920s. Badly jostled around on her first day there, she bumps into Jimmy Smith (Danny Scott) on the street, who directs her to a rooming house run by a washed up actress named Mrs. Meers (Nance Weber) who, in addition to feigning Chinese background and accent, is also drugging vulnerable tenants and sending them overseas into white slavery. Still, Millie and Jimmy seem to continue to hang out as friends, and find themselves at a party run by wealthy Muzzy Van Hossmere (Amy Carr), a lusty dowager who’s been around the block a few times. She takes a liking to Millie because she identifies with the young woman as someone who came naively to New York City like herself. Later in the action, she willingly poses as a new tenant in the rooming house in an attempt to flush out Mrs. Meers’ crimes. Carr virtually raised the roof with her numbers, “Only in New York< and “Long as I’m Herer with You.” The production was staged nicely on Lincoln’s Ware Theatrer stage, which appeared to have the amenities (lighting, sound, set moving capabilities) of much more elegant, urban sites. Although the university is in the midst of a major construction project, ACT members effectively got people parked and guided over a sun-baked field into the theater with not much problem.
