fan will tell you he's the guy what

at It. There's touch OF Harpo Marx
and touch OF Jimmy Savo in his
technique and any scene he does is
sure to be full OF laughs. What's more,
"Boxo" knows how to get those laughs
without resorting to the offensive,
which Is something . lot Of burlesque
comics do not know how to do, If
you do not mind one. more dissection

tributes more comedy; Valerie Parks,
who injects into the specially Of the
dishabille much Of what might be
called polish and much Of what GER
tainly has to be called enthusiasm, and
Nadine Marsh. who is pretty good, too,
at that sort of thing, enthusiasm and
all. And, in closing, we might-in
fact we will--say that Mi. snyder's
greatest comedy competition comes
from the chorus. H. M.
