THE ORIGINAL TWEEDLEPUNCH.-
Philip H. Ryley, the Tweedlepunch of
the original Fisher and Ryley Company in
"Florodora," is one of the clever artists
who helped make that delightful oper-
attic comedy popular. Mr.. Ryley belongs
to the class of comedians on the musical
stage who have become noted for re-
fined comedy without buffoonery, artistic
as we'll as funny. His is the intelligent
style of comedy that fits so happily into
those charming and breezy English mu-
sical pieces like 'Florodora," noted for
their refreshing originality, bright,
comedy and freedom from vulgarity or
offensive suggestion. Mr.. Ryley, in other
words, is of the kind that appeals to the
intellectual as we'll as to the everyday
amusement seeker. He has been before
and always under stars who were noted
for upholding the best traditions of the
stage. He began his career as one of
the famous little tigers with Henry E
Dixey in "Adonis" at the Bijou Theater
in New York, and later went to London
with the same production. He was still
quite young when he next appeared in
this country with Ezra Kendall in
"A Pair of Kids His first important
engagement in an adult role was when
he succeeded Andrew Mack in the cast
supporting Monroe and Rice in Aunt
Bridget's Baby" Many of the older
theatergoers of this city remember him
as handsome young light comedian In
support of the late Emily Banker. once
a popular dramatic star. His next sue
cess was in another light comedy part
with Willie Collier in THE Man From
Mexico" Later he created important
roles with Mathews & Euiger in BY the
Sad Sea Waves and The Night of the
Fourth Following his hit in "FIoro-
