„The laughing hit of the bill“

Editorial content. „American.

      (Estimated Cost of Show, $4,810.)

      The show on the stage at the American this week

could not have been recognized from the program

Monday evening. The bill was all chopped up, many names

listed in the billing not appearing on the indicators.

Others had their places. The house was top heavy.“ (...)

      „In the second part Karno‘s Company in A Night

in a London Club, a revival over here, made the laughing hit of

the bill. Though full of rough slapstick, and the usual

Karno ingredients, it looks like the best of all Karno acts, not

excepting The Music Hall. The hit with S. Jefferson“

Stan Laurel. „as the dude was really very funny. Mr. Jefferson,

Chas. Chaplin, Arthur Dandee, Muriel Palmer and Frank

Melroyd all did famously.“

                                                                                        „Sime.“
