ing a popular little song called "Oh
What A Boy"
If the press agent of the late Anna Held
had not made the French actress famous
the world over as the woman with "zt
eyes that would not behave" we would
suggest that Miss Clifford try the same
advertising stunt.
Miss Clifford radiates distinction, good
feeling, pep and enthusiasm and wealth
Of melody which soon resulted in this
little woman ringing up the really big
hit Of the opening show of the season
at Keith's yesterday afternoon.
So insistent was the audience for more
that Miss Clifford. after repeatedly APP
pearing, made a little curtain talk in
which she stated that actors never eat
but live on applause and she thanked the
audience for the lunch" but we would
call it a banquet.
It's the Clifford way-the tantalizing
eyes-which gives a rag song some
degree of refinement. and when doing a

ALWAYS YOU" MEANS

Ralph Herr has been relied upon to
pull many a light, fimsy little show out

thing this season in Always You" a
tuneful little thing now at the Murat.

Irene Franklin and a comical little chap
called Bernard Corey to help him make
Always You" an enjoyable Offering Of

Herr is an artist at drollery and old
man Webster defines the word as "A
lively or comic picture and this very
individual exponent of drollery is a very
lively picture in this dainty and we'll
mounted show.
1t is not so much what Herr has to
say which makes him so valuable to
Always YOU" but it is the way he puts
over his lines in his droll. dry and clever
way which makes Ralph Herr absolute
ly necessary to the success Of the enter
tainment.
He is as droll when singing as in talk
ing and this trait makes "Poussee Cafe
and Woman" two of the best presented
songs in the book Of the play.
The years that Mr.. Herr has spent on
the stage has .ripened his art until he is
