Al Lemons Wins Favor
 As a Road" Comedian

A recent edition of the Billboard a theatrical publication carries a long story on the acting ability of Al Lemons. known to his New Brit ain friends as Lazarus Willet. Mir. Lemons has appeared in New Britain with various musical attractions at the Lyceum theater.
 In part the review says "Al Lemons is out of the ordinary To see him on the road, in cozy little com pany that travels light of baggage and light of scenery, reminds us that m actor Is an actor regardless of his fame. The small town may often see better comedian than it would find at the Winter Garden.
 "He has his own ideas about com edy that wear with the audience and about shows that wear with the audi ence. Because Lemons intends to last with the public. he insists on working with lightness of heart Till the big contract and vehicle offer lightness of heart, he is going to be master of his own happy destiny on the road.
