Majestic Theatre Tonight

There are few gifts from above
more to be desired than a happy,
even disposition, which is denoted
by a smiling countenance. Without
it, the stage would be dreary and
stars few in number. 1t is the smile
that conquers and wins all the time
and everywhere.
"Radiate happiness by a smile and
you strike a chord in the hearts of
YOUR audience" says Walter Chan
Ian, known on the stage rs the man
with the irresistible Irish smile.
That's why I play comedy dramas
only, because I get the chance to
smile, no tragedy roles for me. Give
me a good sized audience and I'll
make them smile and laugh before
I get through.

Majestic Theatre in "Maytime in
