some clever dialogue and witty sto-
ries in negro and Chinese dialects. !,
Mildred Manning was the Stella, !"
and II was her coming to life that
caused all the fun in the last act.
The only thing that is not easy to
understand is why she was not made
to live in the beginning Of the first
act -
The play and the musical numbers
are new, the latter adding enough
joyousness and pep" to the perform
ance to make it thoroughly enjoyable
Raymond Tears parodies stopped
the plot for a full five minutes while
the audience applauded him last
night, and another stop was made
while the ducklings and Hazel Lake
took encore after encore with Some

to the staging running ont over the
audience had the advantage and also
figured strong for the puns Of viva
cious little Hazel and the buckles.
