fully warbling Good times are herel
Spend your money. for good times
are herol" In May, W. OF 1921 No
matter how much they might have
believed that they were coming sure
ns fate. they weren't enough here to
sing about. But night after night
last week audiences raised their col
lective voice In the tuneful an
nouncement that good times ARE here
sure enough - an announcement
mnde through the medium OF the
lifting tune Of LIP Liza jane"
