of the show at the Gayety Theater
this week, his comedy being whole
some and along a line that is dis
tinctly original with him. Bob is
something of dancer. too, although
he does not make much use of his
accomplishment. His one terpsi-
chorean effort was literally ap-
plauded last night and his solo on
the piccolo was thoroughly enjoyed.
Fred Reeb, in q Dutch comedy role,
assisted Barry in the fun making and
Dick Lancaster, Leonard King. Ed
Griffin and Ed Smith had minor parts.
Alfaretta Symonds and Daisy Har-
ris. the best entertainers among the
women of the show, have a liberal
assignment of song numbers. Jean
Fox and Kittie Leonard round out
the cast.
There is no story to worry about.
just a mixture of mirth, melody and
chorus ensembles to please the ear
and eye of the tired business man.,
The chorus is sprightly and clad in
pretty gowns and the scenery has a
freshness that goes with the opening
of the season instead of the fag-end.
