HITCHY-KOO FAR IN LEAD.
No Room for Comparison with Other
Shows, Says Manchester Paper.

Raymond Hitchcock S big musical
comedy revue, Hitchy Koo, viii be the
attraction at the Auditorium Thursday
night, April 10. This is what the Man
chester Mirror says about it:
A good many superlatives have been
spilled around in the press the last two
years concerning the excellence of va
rious road shows appearing here in
that time They have been deserved
by the shows, too, because Manchester
has been rather fortunate in the char
acter of visiting companies.
No superlatives are necessary about
Hitchy Koo. Hitchy Koo was given
the first of two nights presentation at
the Strand Monday to practically a
crowded house.
1t is so far ahead of any other com.
pany visiting Manchester in recent
years that there is no room for compar.
ison, and this without any derogatory
reflection on previous entertainment.
There is surprising number of real
ly amusing comedians, coterie Of
girlish "leads' with splendid voices
and bevy of chorus girls who combin,
genuine personal charm with well
trained voices of anything but dimin
ished volume
Hitchy Koo is a scream from star
to finish. There is no plot. 1t is
combination of "big time" vaudevill
and sublimated burlesque.
