MUSIC SUCCESS
BOILED DOWN
FOR VAUDE

Every now and then a musical
comedy Is written. that is too
good to be put in storage and
every now and then the storage
process is not necessary. because
some energetic producer cleverly
'boiIs' the book, lyrics and music
down to twenty minutes. 1.-THE
Bingham Girl" was one of the
best musical plays in recent years.
1t must have been because several
companies were on tour at the
same time.
Lewis and Gordon believed il
would make an ideal tabloid and
they commissioned Daniel Kuseu
to put it in the boiling pot and
extract the essence of fun and
song. When this was done. the
producers engaged Bobby Jarvis
to play the principal comedy role,
They surrounded Mr.. Jarvis with
a musical comedy cast, and sent
the piece on tour in vaudeville
and tomorrow It comes to the
Earle Theater.

Long before learned, to talk
was compelled to express my
needs to my parents by facial ex-
preston. Not having reached
school age I was unable to spell
and could not understand their
hand language To me it was
rather a game to try to express,
to my mother or father that /
wanted, say, glass of milk in
stead of water or that some
friendly neighboo had invited me
to their house for children's
party.
My parents patience with their
inarticulate son-they never
ton an infirmity- eventually bore
fruit, and 1 bec&une adept at lip
reading and could interpret their
slightest gesture. Likewise was
able to express myself entirely
by facial gesture.
This early training stood me
in good stead later when I en-
barked on theatrical career and
proved especially valuable to me
on the screen. The finest dra-
matte school in the world could
not have given me the. expert in-
struction accorded me by my par
ents' handicap.
In The Phantom of the Opera
many Of my most important
scenes are enacted behind a mask.
To express a whole gamut of
emotions by a movement of the
hands the stoop of the shoulders
or the slightest motion of the
body was indeed a difficult task
especially as several of the most
emotional sequences were shot
with my back to the camera.
THAT I was able to portray
these various emotions intelli-
bly, and feelingly, 1 attribute to
the unique instruction accorded
ME by my parents. That my ef-
forts have proved successful is
evidenced by the approval given
my performance in the title role
Of The Phantora of the Opera
by my many kind friends, both
press and public"

Can you imagine an English
gentleman of letters giving an

neither could we, yet it seems
that such things can happen. In
fact, the British writer would have
to give us H'Americans a few

what the dear boy, and all that
sort of rot, is driving at.
Take, for eXample-or leave 1t,
we should care a whole lot-the
case of John Galsworthy. Read
his slang and then write in to
the editor and tell him what it's
all about. Or don't write in

While it is true that the many
books and plays written by John
Galsworthy, distinguished English
