Large Crowd Enjoy The World
of Pleasure at the Audi
forum

The delightful New York Winter
Garden production, "The World of
Pleasure" was presented to a capac-
ity crowd at the Auditorium last eve
ming and was enjoyed by everyone
present. 1t is musical comedy fill
ed with catchy songs that go over big
and the persons putting them over
did so in manner that was excep-
tionally pleasing.
ConrOy and lie Marie and William
Norris were the headliners in the
comedy line and they went great.
They are able comedians and handle
their lines in a manner that never
fails to get laugh.
Miss Rosie Quinn was the dancing
star and her efforts were a delight to
the large crowd present.
Several specially numbers, includ-
ing one by the Courtney Sisters, were
also above criticism.
Natty costumes, splendid scenery,
pretty girls and excellent music sum
up the production staged last eve
ming and as these are the four main
requisites of any musical comedy it
is sufficient to say that ''The World
of Pleasure" is one of the best shows
of it's kind playing here for some
time.
