The girl from Kay's, masqueraded as

nard as her sponsor and chief support.
1t is, however, a perfectly frank and
open masquerade. for the playful an
/ nounces the fact. and as IAN up-to-date
version 1t proves satisfactory with
large chorus of feminine loneliness in
brilliant costumes which-thanks be to
whoever is responsible-do not offend
against the TASTE. Likewise the chorus
can sing, another fact to be grateful
for and their terpsichorean gyratiops
are varied and gracefully executed.
The music, composed by Ivan Caryll
and Lionel Monckton. makes up in

| though from this structure one or two
lyrics may be expected, notably the
song Gypsy Land" rendered very
sweetly by Ruby Norton.
1t goes without saying, of course.
that anything in which Sam Bernard
is the central figure is as full Of fun
as can be crowded into three long acts,
and there is hardly a minute from be-
ginning to end in which the audience
is not Kept in roars of laughter. Plot?
VI course, not. Why should there be
anything so superfiuous? Nobody looks
for it, nobody cares a straw about it.
Sam Bernard production with a plot
would be an incongruity. Lots of nom
sense. lots of laughter. lots of good
dancing. lots of the inimitable Sans
eccentricities-that's what the people
want, and in The Belle OF Bond
street they get all this in greatest
profusion.
sam Bernard is Piggy Hoggenheimer

does not pail upon our palate. He is

When first I saw Miss Maude Adams

piece again just for the sake of deter

OF course, Miss Adams professional ca

by the Interpretation of Barrie roles, but
the Scotch humOrist has furnished her
with six vehicles which have given an
outlet to the expression of that tremen-
