Little as you might think about it, its no merry jest to get yourself garbed up in airy rigging that you don't feel at home in, and attempt to change your profession from the real estate business or something to a Broadway star in e night
 But that's what about 40 of the younger society set. including this galaxy of dancers, is doing. And it's a hard Job, and self-sacrificing one. For the east has been meeting in cessantly for about two weeks. and actually has become SO proficient in the musical comedy that the bunch of actors themselves. after so long. still laugh at the jokes themselves. And they haven't heard them moro than 100 times already.
 That bespeaks that you'll go from one laugh to another-and you really will--when you attend the actual performance. It'll be brand new to you as any comedy show. At re- hearsaI the other evening. I caught the impr ession that l was in an ac-

 Albert Stern, b1ackface comedian, ought to feel set up about what F. F. Gosden, director, said about him. He's fine. He's as good a comedian as you'll find most anywhere on the legitimate stage"
 Everybody Fine
 Fact of the business is, the com pany's SO good, and getting better, you have to hand 1t to MT. Gosden that he not only has the pep, but is able to transmit it to even, the most timid of the Let's Go" group. A lot of jokes are to be pulled in which tho names of local persons are used and when you sit back in your thea Ire chair, you can draw a long sigh of happiness, knowing that you're to follow lively story of king who couldn't be made to laugh, but finally was; the funny antics of ridiculous floorwalker, in love with a shop girl that you are to enjoy the supreme confidence of a blackface comedian that he understands everything''- and finally that you are to have a happy ending which will leave you delighted with the world, and glad, you spent the price of admission. Fancy every now and then a raft of jazzy songs and choruses which will make you want to snap your fin gers-and you've got the ensemble.
