The mere fact that William b. Fried
lander and Will M. Houghs names are
mentioned in
"The Naughty Princess" IN n ection
at the Majestic Theater with "The
"Naug h ty
Princess" playing the Majestic Thea
ter the first half of the current week,
is proof to local theatergoers that they
are going to be given something worth
while in the way of high-class musical
comedy entertainment. Mr.. Hough has
long been recognized as lyrical
writer and playwright, his most familiar
work being done perhaps in "The Time,
the Place and the Girl" while Mr..
Friedlander has not only contributed
well to musical comedy, but in the past
few seasons has furnished such we'll
known vaudeville stars as Nan Hal
perrin, Muriel Window and Refine Davies
with their best song numbers "The
Naughty Princess" is something new
and o-the-minute. and promises to
outshine any musical comedy tabloid
seen at the Majestic this season.
