 That miracle man of Broad way, George Abbott, gave us Room Service" The final event of the current season, it probably will be here at the end of the next one, if the reception of the hilarious farce is any indication. Rarely has a houseful of theater- goers let it's hair down and larynx loose to laugh uproarious ly as the crowds do at the Cort Theater.
 They call him that miracle man of Broadway because the unfail- ing MT. Abbott can clock more laughs into show than the au- thor ever dreamt of putting in it.. Now Room Service" is the joint pipe dream of Allen Boretz and John P. Murray. And their theme is the show business and it's penurious practitioners, or as they call them around Times Square-shoestringers.
 We come across these embry- onic Belascos in hotel room where they are stuck. Stuck be- cause they owe a hotel bill o1 $1200, a play to produce, but nc packer and a cast of 19 player! who also are living under stht auspices of the hotel manage. ment. And then an efficiency ex. pert arrives to set the hotels af- fairs in order. A packer arrives to put up the show money. The author arrives to be near his brainchild, and everyone arrives simultaneously. The result: chaos pandemonium hilarity and you'd have to see it to believe it.
 MT. Abbott, as theaterWise readers may have heard, has his own stock company working for him all season round. Most of the players in Room Service have been with other Abbott suc- cesses, 8 Men on Horse," Boy Meets Girl" Brother Rat" etc So Sam Levene, Alexander Arso Eddie Albert and Teddy Hart know what the boss wants when he calls for a laugh and they give it.

pany, further upheld the high
level of the Mayflower morning
musicals, in their joint recital
yesterday morning at the May
flower Hotel.
Miss Burke, who is new to
these series, combines that rare
grace of personality, beauty and
voice that makes a most pleas
ing and attractive performance.
There is a clearness to her tones
that does not change in the
higher or lower extremes Of her
wide range. She has an instinc-
tive dramatic ability that readily
adaptS itself to expressing pathoS
or gaiety.
Whether singing in italian or
English. her vowel formation and
tone possessed WondrouS clarity
with no over-emphasis on conso-
nant production. She gave vital
expression through a wide range

light encore entitled Her Gown, !"
which ended with the phrase:
If she should sneeze-Good
morning Eve" Needless to say
her efforts were greeted with
much applause.
Mr.. Kullmann was in most ex-
cellent voice, and, with a stage
presence and good humor that was
catching, captured his audience
with his graceful style, freshness

of voice, and adaptability Of en-
tering the various moods por-
trayed. While Mr.. Kullmann sang
several operatic arias, probably the
high light of his work was the
"Preislied," from die MeiSter-
singer" (Wagner).
The Wagner selection was de-
livered with an effortleSS power
and lyric beauty such as is sell
dom heard. The two duet appear
ances of these personable artists
resulted in a blending Of voices
and kindred artistic spirits that
was a Joy to hear and see. Virginia
CaStelIe, at the piano for Miss
Burke, and Solon Alberti, for Mr..
Kullmann, contributed much to
the well-balanced performance of
singer and accompanist.
1t is with great regret that this
reviewer was unable to pass
through the crowded aiSles last
