expressing their racial JOY.

HARRY LAUDER.

"Pawky and pragmatic" was the
phrase used by an eminent man of let
ters recently to describe Harry Lauder
who comes to the Playhouse on De
cember IL and sails for Europe next
day. An English reviewer continued
the description by writing. after per-
torrance by Lauder in Leeds 1T
was the pawkiness of Harry LADDERS
humor that tickled the audience, when
the great little man served up one or
two Of those items that are more Scotch
delineations than songs. First. the
Northern trait was seen in a grOcer's
errand boy, in whom humor, blended
with a shrewd commercial instinct
found expression, despite the restrain
ing influence of a giant humbug.
There was a continuity of the same
pawky element in the middle-aged
Scot who followed; and as Harry Lau-
der screwed up his left eye, in a puck
er that extended from the nostril TO
eyebrow. the pawkiness seemed to be-
come concentrated. He has a mohil-
ity of feature that changes the tight
Tipped Scotch austerity in a twinklinE
to fatuous grin of self-complacency
And he has a voice that alone would
carry him through. In Harry Lauder
one sees a Scotch comedian who. un
/ like many who have followed him
does not rely for his comedy effects
mainly on the swirling of his kilt
