SEVENTH WEEK HERE

The old-school comedian who
knows all the tricks used two gen
erations ago to make audiences lit
orally roll off their seats is appear
ing at the Capitol in "Abie's irish
Rose"
He has made many of the fathers
and perhaps some Of the grand
fathers Of the present-day theater-
goers laugh at his funny manner
isms, accent and quaint express
sions.
This comedian is Billy Fay, the
same Billy Fay whose stage expe-
riences range from burlesque to
modern musical comedy. AS an
Irish father who storms and RACES
all over the stage when he learns
his daughter has married a Jewish
boy. Mr.. Fay may be seen doing the
same funny things our grandfathers
laughed at.
Fay is a sincere actor and like
MANY other comedians is the most
serious person offstage one could
possibly imagine. But when seen
on the theater stage he is the fun
niest man in this city. His first
entrance. before he says a single
word, stops the proceedings for sew
era1 seconds, while the audience
laughs right out loud.
Yet he successfully makes every
