who actually knows the art OF legiti-
mate acting, who can sing patter song
| with the best of them, dance like an
artist, and all Of a sudden, drop into
| serious acting and hold his audience
with a breathlessness of attention that
almost makes the auditor with the
music comedy habit blush FOR himself
Then. as his auditor begins to wonder
whether the play Is not going to turn
out pathetic melodrama, Mr.. Labor
for he Is the merry genius In question
jumps back into slap bang comedy
again. and the audience catches it's
breath and follows him He was al
most the whole show last night, and
the only regret was that the intervals
between his appearances were so long.
Given good play, with the humorous
and the comic blended something on
the lines OF the comedies on which
David Warheld has mounted, and Mr..
l.alor should make "a successful star.
The production Is big. lively and
jolly one--a music farce, with some
thing resembling plot and with sew
eral other people who are capable
without being brilliant. Next to Mr..
Labor in the eyes of the audience, was
Miss Lowe, as Bossy, though she also
was kept off the stage too long. The
chorus did good work, even though
some OF the girls had an aspect that
spelled Experience. Miss Dunmore had
some hearty calls for her big song.
though her tone needs softening down.
The bin goes again this afternoon
and evening, and will draw heavy bust
ness.
