meaning in its bearing on the run of
the piece. The whole story turns on

ton of a good time left, nevertheless.

into the situations which causes all the
fun. e. M. Holland takes the role of
this gay old fellow and does the turn
to perfection. Holland has become well
known and successful as a character
comedian, and has starred with his
brother for two years.
