people. On Friday and Saturday nights
that favorite Douglas Mclean, the

the trials of an American dOugh-boy
who on his return from France finds
it difficult to adjust himself to his new
environment. especially after he comes
into fortune and has to deal with a
raft of servants. This production is a
genuine laugh incubator and would
crack the face of the Sphinx. Besides
the main mirth provoker there will be
fine Lloyd comedy entitled THE
