Sir Harry Lauder achieves n great
feat in this entertainment, and his
performance emphasizes the sure
foundations on which his great sue

uncanny gift in the selection OF
| tuneful songs. His sense of humor
was proved not only in the deliy-
cry or his own "pattcr." but in tho
dizziness with which he caught and
answered the frequent interpretations

gallery OF the theater.
