Seventy-five per cent of the so-called
comedies are failures because of their
absolute absurdity and vapid attempts
to create laugh. "Lena Rivers has
become notable through it's perfectly
legitimate comedy situations, which
never fail to please even the most blase
auditor, hence it's unqualified success
with it's splendid audience everywhere.
The cast is an organization marked for
it's artistic attachments and the hit
which both play and company have
made is attested by the continuous APP
plause and laughter which is heard at
each performance. The play will be at
Van Werden's opera house on Friday
evening, Nov. 20, and our local theatre
goors will then have an opportunity OF
judging personally OF the merits Of both
company and play.
