Royal Chef"

The popularity of "The Royal Chef" which will be the attraction at the Bijou all this week, has been deserved by req son of the musical garniture given it by Fen Jerome, the composer, the merit of the humorous story and the high quality of equipment maintained by Harry H. Frazee, whose musical productions are regarded as the standard in this class of entertainment.
 During its long run in both New York and Chicago it's many song hits wer borne on wave of popular enthusiasm all over the entire country.
