GAYETY-sAM HowE's SHOW

A riot Of laughter and applause VII!
greet Sam Howe'S new show at the
Gayety Theatre tomorrow where this
unusual attraction will begin weeks
engagement with the usual matlnees
The offering is by Sam Howe, who is
responsible for the book, lyrics and
music, and he has done his work ex-
ceptionally well. Mr.. Howe calls his
effusion Revusical Fable and from:
all accounts the appellation seems well
applied, Heading = cast out Of the or
binary are Cliff Bragdon, Helen Tarl
and Harry Left. This IS Mr. Brag-
don's second season with the COM
panv and his talents need little intro,
duction. IN the new piece he has a
part which seems to fit his personality
and comedy gifts to nicely As
John Carbolicorn, the proprietor Of
the Busy Bee, thriving drug store
of modern design, he makes verS'
much of his role and creates no
amount Of hearty and rolllcking laugh
ter.
Mr. Bragdon, who may be styled &C.
centric in the way Of methods, makes
!: hit of large proportions and estab-
fishes himself as favorire and g
comedian to be conjured with.
Regarding Miss Tarr, she IS .
clever and unusually attractive woman
whose statucsQue beauty adds a zest
to the performance which is smooth
and replete with that kind of inter
probation which spells success in any
environment. Miss Tarr impcrsonstes
young widow, an heiress who has
been kidnapped in her childhood. She
is the daughter Of the late Phineas
Prune, multi-millionaire and after
series of side splitting complications
she is identified by star and cres-
cent on her wonderful back. As Slip
perry Sam, thief, Nh. Bragdon man
ages to keep the action going from
start to finish, his disguise Of an old
maid clerk Of uncertain age ut the
Martha Washington Hotel, New York,
being one Of the most mirthful and
rollicking bits of comedy ever wit,
messed hcrcabouts. The song numbers
are tmcful and lingering, and run the
gamut Of waltz to the inevitable jazz.
