The Browns hit Pipgras hard in the
third and the fourth, and assaulted
Moore in the seventh for two runs, just
enough to enable Alvin Crowder 10

In other words, this three-star

BARRY TAKES THE
LEAD ON LYRIC BILL

Leading the acts at the Lyric this
week is Jimmy Barry and Company.
This is comedy farce Of a man who
runs matrimonial agency and has
a hard time trying to interest a
client in some coed prospects.
This borders on the slapstick, but
it has lot of good laughs and is
a new twist to an old idea. 1t also
is song and dance turn and has a
good comedian in the troupe.
De Sylvia'S Night Club, I must
confess, failed to come up to the ex-
pectations that I had aroused.
There was good dancing and sing
Ing. but somehow the act failed to
ring true. Chief among the enter
tainerS is Alice Cordee, I believe the
name is, who is a toe dancer with
some ability. just a fair act.
Here is an act that has q female
impersonator and a person who bur-
leSqueS that art. don't know
which is which, but the female i'm
personator is real clotheshorse and
has a better voice for this sort of
thing than most. In fact, the high
notes were exceptionally good. The
other member of the company is
the clown. They give a scene from
Samson and Delilah," burlesqued.
Pearson and Anderson have a WOW
act.
This Roger Williams is sure some
imitator. Among other things he
gives limitations of is a trombone, a
railroad engine and a. radio. His
best.is his imitation Of a pipe organ,
the effect, if you close your eyes,
seems to be real, although in spots
there is a difference. He ends his
act with five peice jazz band COM
ing over the radio.
Mayme Gehrue is not only a good
drummer. but she is fine tap
dancer. She shows the drummer in
the pit just how he ought to play
the base drum. She dances on it.
She has several new steps in tap
dancing. Her own violinist in the
pit plays a solo while she makes a
change OF costume.
Winehill and Briscoe have one of
the old comedy acts that still gets
there. Just a lot of patter and
new song or two, but they are fair.
Gardner has trained animal act
which he calls Gardeners Maniacs.
The animals are well trained, but
there are no new tricks in the bag

their theater. Skinner may not be
the historical Falstaff, but I do not
object to this brand of Falstaff. Sir
John was conceited all boy who
loved strong drink and women who
kiss. And he enjoyed encounters,
especially whens somebody was pay
ing the bills.
AS to makeup, Skinner is splen-
did Falstaff. He comes mighty near
taking up the entire big chair in
the inn. I really believe that Skin
ner's FalStaf could have lived at
the time Shakespeare created this
comedy.
Mrs. Fiske hasn't so much to do
but what she has to do is done in
that famous nervous mood that be-
longs to Mrs. Fiske alone. She
makes a charming picture.
And Henrietta as Mistress Ford
is a charming funmaker who has
not permitted the years to slow up
her artistry or erase her fine sense
Of comedy. 1t Is a treat to see
these three famous people on the
stage giving their ideas Of Bill
Shakespeare's characters.
A big cast is carried as we'll as a
big production-the play being done
in five acts. Bendtsen, remembered
for his work with Stuart Walker, is

comes out in the second act and
gives his famous scene of the dope
addict.
Bovo tells the story of how the
first baseball game looked to him,
shortly after he came from Italy. I
have heard this man before telling
the same story, but it is as funny
now as it ever was.
Reid has several unusual ensem-
BILE dances in the show, among
which are Dog Dance" and a
'Radium" act, this last Of a more
or less spectacular nature.
There are several clever dancers
in the company, and chief among
them is She" who besides being
one of the female principles is also
the featured dancer. And She is
good.
