popular prices at both the Biiou and
the Lyric theatcrs, and in every in
stance has played to more than average
attendance. Gus Hill, recognizing the
call of tabloid, placed his show in the
circuit with Billy Richie again at the
head, and he has surrounded the Eng
lish comedian with a most competent
cast and a chorus that win measure
TO the best that has been seen here.
The scenic effects are correct, and
there are musical numbers that will be
whistled before the end of the week.
