II is a bit tiresome. Lewis Is reputed
TO be one OF the leading comedians on
the burlesque stage. The criticism

complicated, jumbled and altogether
norsensical plot in the first act that
seems TO depend more on the sugges-
tive lines for success than on Andy's
comedy or the ability OF his co-work-
era as entertainers.
The work OF the chorus helps TO
make the show interesting The girls
sing tunefully and dance gracefully.
They would probably appear more fire.
