"The audience," wrote Syd- ney Johnson in the Montreal Star," was kept bubbling Ina-1 rily throughout the evening at the string of' quips and sallies and it gave the small hard- working cast a resounding ova- 'tion at the final curtain." Mr. Johnson also noted that he could "heartily recommend it as a most agreeable way of passing a summer ttenieg.". . "The revue," said Harold Whitehead in the Montreal Gazette, "is, on the whole, a bright, lively affair with some really first class material to show off." by GEORGE GERHARDT ' DATEUNE: argued.
