SUNDAY ENTERTAINMENT
is FARCICAL AFFAIR

Harry Heym was responsible for a
terrible state of hiIarity Sunday even
ing, when at the Colony theater. he
perpetrated a farce, with the assist
ance of number of his understudies.
Harry based his humor around a
Jew and bottle of beer. and some Of
the predicaments he presented were
simply Iudicrous. In the first place,
his unique makeup was in itself so
funny that the stage hands forsook
their work to laugh.
Among the funny stunts was one in
which he took ride in machine on
the stage; and after nearly getting his
head knocked off by telegraph pole,
and riding through a tunnel (when the
chauffer robs him), they are next the
victims of two hold-up men.
The last part was perhaps the fun
niest, when three travellers get wallop.
ed whenever they mention beer" but
when they try to play the same joke
on the Jew, the climax arrives when
bottle of beer and sandwich come
gliding to his, hands from above.
Before the farce, several numbers
were offered by Robert Lindsey, fol-
lowed by David Lindsey and Howard

lines, we'll above the average. Rob-
