The production of "Weiner and

established firmly tile popularity not
only of Aaron Hoffman, author of the
books, but of ]. A. Raynes, who wrote
the music and the lyrics.
AS for Kolb and Dill and Billy Cliff

they shine with the excellent COM
pany which is presenting the funny
musical comedy.
The two stars do not rely on old
successes or on old Jokes. Their sue
cess is continually new by reason of
their versatility and cleverness. There
are screams of laughter in almost
every line they speak and in every
situation which is staged.
Maud Lambert presents a handsome
and stately appearance as Mile. Fleur-

with dash and humor. Billy S. Cliff
ford also contributes in very great
degree to the pleasure of the entertain
ment. His speciality is one of the dis

Sarah Edwards, although deprived of
lyric opportunity, presents an excel

In Weiner and Schnitzel' Kolb and
