so Long Lefty" is a brilliant
comedy, even when played in the
dark!
And that's-going some for
musical farce that develops most
of it's fun from ludicrous situa-
tions and clever character acting.
When a transformer at the Ia
coma theater burned out Sunday
night, just as the orchestra WAS
completing its overture, the aud
fence sat back comfortably and
waited nearly half an hour for
lights. The orchestra's impromp-
tn concert of popular music help
ed kill time.
Everyone thought when lights
finally came on that electricians
had completed repairs. SO the big
musical comedy opened its first
act with smuch music and many
pretty girls.
Hardly had the plot begun to
develop when out went all the
lights again. Grace and Tom.

After Is minutes the lights
came on again. BY this time the
comedy was going full speed
ahead, and the absence of mean
descent hadn't spoiled things a
bit.
Klaw & Erlanger certainly
picked the proper vehicle in 80
Long Lefty" for opening the Ia
coma theater season. It's a great
big show with everything mu-
steal comedy needs, including a
cleverly complicated plot.
And Charlotte Greenwood-you
can't appreciated her until you've
seen some of those stunts she does
with her awkward feet and hands.
The rest of the cast is well up to
the X. & e. standard.
