Theatres

Everyone is talking about Edwin
Nicander's screamingly funny impersona-
ton OF Lord Fancourt Babberly, who
masquerades as "Charley's Aunt, from
Brazil. where the nuts come from" at
Keiths this week in the Albee companys
production OF the hilarious farce,
''Charley's Aunt. for IL is quite the
laughing hit OF the season
No funnier picture than Mr.. Nicander
I'm his absurd makeup, with his black
satin gown, prim little lace fichu. black
bonnet and yellow flowers can be
IMAGINED, and even after many weeks
the recollection of the funny picture will
bring smile TO the face of everyone
who sees him this week. Although this
is Mr. Nicanders second season with the
Albee company and local theatregoers are
familiar with his abilities, he continues to
astonish even his most ardent admirers
by new evidences OF his versatility, maxi
ing a decided personal triumph or what
cvcr role he plays.
His portrayal this week. which Ia en-
phatioally one Of the best he has given
here. Is characterized by a brisk, rapid
flre action. and a thorough appreciation
Of the character which enables him to
score every point and sweeps the
audience before him.
One of the features OF his work this
week is the catchy little song, MY Little
Maid OF JAPAN" which he renders In a
clear, sympathetic baritone. to tho
accompaniment OF some laughable
terpsichorean movements, and which calls
forth so many insistent encores that he
must. indeed. be tired when the audience
finally consents to release him.
II you haven't seen 'Charley's Aunt"
do SO by all means before the week Is
over. and II You have seen IT. see II again,
for youn find something new to laugh
at each time you see II.
