witnessed the premier of Who's Looney
Now at the Belasco Theater last night.
When Mr.. Armstrong voiced the now ia

Lieut.. Poague decided that 1t was just
the name for his three-act farce COM
edy, which originally was slated to
bear the title OF Bottled Bugs" The
audience sat through two acts of fairly
amusing episodes, which seemed to
grow more incoherent and unrelated.
The third act, however. started out in a
businesslike way to supply the connec-
tons and in remarkably short order
disclosed the perspective OF an idea of
originality and cleverness.
The action takes place in a sani-
tarium in the Adirondack mountains
where the patients are supposed to
have swallowed several millions of
lunacy germs through the carelessness
Of the resident physician. This situa
ton supplies all the material for the
comedy. In the final act the plot de-
velops in rapid-fire order. eliminating
in the arrest of the physician as an
international spy.
