A "Bowery Guy" Sees
Palisade Singers In
The "Mikado'' Opera
By Orren Breiby

Say, Kid, l amt never seen such
show in me hull life. Laugh? Why,
say, I almost split me sides out!
Dere amt much about criticisms dat
/ kin give, and guess, Mister Logan,
NV de "Palisadien" will take care Nv
dat But as fer inside inflammation,
/ wants ter give yer de proper dope.
Yau savvy, when I says, inside in
flamation," don't cha? And if yer
don't, why, just let me tells yer dat
I'm de biggest and bestest tough
guy what the Fort Lee movie mana
factors is got, and dey got mob Nv
'em up dere. So / guess, amt hep
to dat inside stuff, Ell?
Dat EazzAbo. Carson, is sure some
pippen NV actor. When he come in,
said to meself, dat guy is sointenly
dere wild dat comical operey stuff. :
And OATS all yer kin say. When l
says, guy is good, dat settles it.
Mrs. Middleton, as Yum Rum, gived
me shivers down me spine everytime,
she gargled them sweet words to de
tune NV Sully and Gilly's music. Say,
but she sointenly kin sing, hey :?
And dance! Why, if me gal could
dance like her, she an me, would
make Vernon C and his wife take a
kitchen seat.
Miss Foeppel and Mrs. Paul, was
bully. Dey made me forget | was
seeing only show. thought, / was
in Japan every blooming time dey
was on de stage, and believe me, it
amt cinch fer anyone tie swing me
thoughts from dis climate ter de
land NV flowers. : Not in de winter
time at any rate.
George Roedells, as dat fat woman,
wild a pretty shoulder blade and a
nifty elbow, made me laff until me
eyes was watered and de salt tasted
in me mouth. His makeup was a
scream. An de way he carried his
self in dem garmants was wort de
price Nv admition erlone.
Den dat guy what is everything, in
one-Willie Boy Holt! Golly! He
made his part S. walloping good, dat
/ almost hated him, fer his highfa-
looten ways. And yer knows, when
any actor kin make another actor
hate him, cause he made his part
seem reel, OATS de highest form Nv
fattery.
The Mikky's umbrella carrier, was
a riot and Charly Chaplin all in
one. He sure knowed his biz. And
yer kin takeit from me dats hard
part ter take. It amt every Tom,
Dick and Tessie, dat kin make yer
laff when he wants yer ter, and then
do things to make yer sit up and
admire his acting widout his spelling
de hull show. When he swung Jap
lamp down, wild his high umbrella, he
didn't git rillied like most ginks
would, but he just shook it off as
natural as a duck takes ter sky
juice in puddle.
An dat fellar what sang up in de
air. What dye yer call it? Oh yea,
tenor. Well, he knew what he was
a doing, too, believe me. He was like
one Nv them instruments what dey
null back and forth. You know
trombone. Well, he was like dat a
couple times, and slid too much. But
when he got off key, he slid back
again quick, just like Ty Cobb slides
back ter second when de pitcher
tries ter catch him mapping. No sir,
yer couldn't catch dis guy mapping
If he overslid, den he come back
quick. An if he underslid, den he
pushed up quick. When he had de
chanel ter sing out like Carouso he
made me chilly wild dem vibrations
dat slipped down me spine.
N. A. Paul, in his part, can't be
criticised, cause, he did what ne had
ter and did it swell.
But fer downright good singing
and tune wild slick notes, what makes
yer feel like sleeping in peace 9
