Stage Doctor Always Gets
Laughs, Says A. Tombes
In s'POOr Little Ritz Grip

"The part Of Dr. Russell Stevens, that
Pm playing now" says Andrew Tombes,
the featured comedian of Poor Little
Ritz Girl" Lew Fields musical comedy
at the Central Tteater, "is one Of the
easiest I've ever had for getting laughs

the fact that pain generally gives

all been there themselves at one time

tivcness if all people were violently

But they've all had their pulses and
their purses felt by q practitioner, and
they gloat over the squirmings Of

patients waiting in 4 dentists ante

"And, of course, DR.. Stevens appeals

as though they saw the family physi-

But. naturally the satire directed at

Acting was also a career of which
Tombes dreamed little in his Juvenile
days, for after going to Exeter
Academy from Ohio his early energies
seemed consecrated to baseball and
other athletics. That accounts for the
difficult dances in "Poor Little Ritz
Girl" and he shows ready ability to
snap back into his rapid fire dialogue
despite several breath taking numbers.
1t was while attending a minstrel
show that the "divinc fire" awoke in
him, and straightway after graduating
from school he decided to climb The
heights as a blackface end man. After
his burnt cork apprenticeship he med
himself to vaudeville and the musical
comedy stage.

Hard Work and Practice,

results in the way of initiating one

do not ordinarily exist But it is pos
sible to create those CONTROLS if you
want TO call them such, by the proc
ess of constant practice.
