store Cowl oys" in realistic fashion.
George A. j. Froberger with his
ever reoccuring Interrogation when
do we Eat" gave stalwart support
on the end position, and this boys
song with the same title was another
of the musical hits Of the show. DR..
Lewis Johnson pleased the big crowd
with his rendition Of the ballad.
When You and I Were Seventeen"
and this solo with the chorus sup
port was one of the best of the
straight numbers in the show. Char
les Bresette singing "Mindin' My
Business" with the snappy stepping
Red Cross dancers supporting. was
another satisfying number, and the
speciality dance by Miss Rose Dos
tie in the quaint garb of an Alsatian
maid, went big with the enthusiastic
audience.
A real melody was the rendition of
"Driftwood'' by trio of the young
ladies, Miss Froberger. Miss Fogarty
and Mrs. Metcalf, and Vernon A.
Soule put over MARY. Who Cut
Your Hair?" in real big time man
ner. This latter named young man
was bulwark on the end all the
way through the show and perhaps
his "flapper" joke struck the back
walls and bounced hack, with the
audience mixed up in the general ac-
companyinS melee, better than did
anv other of the humorous bon mots
of the comic soldiers.
A specially by dill Pickle" it was
billed, and it was special entertain
ment of the most rollicking nature.

ell up to all that his actions on the
stage from the time he made his en-
trance promised.
