Hendricks was very good in the COM
edy required OF Anthony Schmalz. The
comedy honor, however, went to Este
Morrison, an elongated chap who kept
the house in laughter with his indi-
viduality, although Philip H. Ryley as
a rube constable turned that stock
character into something real funny.

caught the fancy Of the audience and
encores were plentiful throughout the
piece. A dance advertisement in the
last act by Loretta Marks and Francis
Bryan was very graceful and pleasing.
