Company. which opened to crowded
audiences yesterday at the Gayety
Theater. presented a patriotic musi-
cal comedy revue that met with
approval. Frank l. Wakefield is
responsible for the book which puts
across live and up-to-date musical
and dance numbers, which Sam
Lewis and Sam Dody. who are called
upon to carry the burden in the
comedy kept their audiences in an
uproar from curtain raise to the
finale.
The extravaganza is plotless. but
it furnishes plenty of opportunities
for both Dody ana Lewis. while
many novelties and specialities are
introduced. Dody and Lewis hold
the spotlight as Hebrew and Italian
characters during the opening bur-

been seen at the Ninth street house
