in higher vaudeville circles. For years
he has steadily been building up an ell
yiable reputation as "A composer of the
kind of melodies that make the feet
itch" and cause people to leave the

For weeks after Friedland has appear

new. 1t was staged by Ned Waybui1l,
which in itself insures excellent enter
