audience to the Auditorium and Great
ed couple of hours of laughter. 1t
is musical comedy built for the fun
of 1t, and with more of a plot than the
majority of them can claim. Johnny
Fogarty plays the role of Jimmy"
with much cleverness and kept the
audience in constant smile. Leo
Kendall, as the American cigarette
manufacturer, also afforded fun with
dialogue and dancing. Mabel McCane,
the princess, made clever one in
every way and was a favorite with the
audience, while Ethel Dewey, with her
winning way and artistic dancing, was
also popular. The chorus was shah

comedies running afford a better line
of witticisms than was put up by jim

Addington in the role of Mamie
Doyle" The closing act was an ex-
citing war scene, with war cores.
