Clever Comedy Will Be Given At Page Writing of the musical comedy, "Oh, Boy," due at the Page theatre, Monday, June 17, Thomas Nunan in the San Francisco Examiner, says: "A musical comedy with comedians in it has come to town. "Do not believe this If it seems dif ficult, hut go and see for yourself. It's a show that you will want to see for yourself, and in musical comedy we haven't had many such of late. "They say it Is the Chicago com pany that has come with 'Oh, Boy!' The principals are good enough to be credited to New York's justly re nowned Eroadway. The organization is a great boost for Chicago's drama tic reputation. "The principals go way above the f.verage. Laurance Wheat doesn't Ilooverize in fun making. Ilugli Bradbury has an 'India-rubber' face that gets a laugh with every Changs 0 expression. Lenore Chippendals and Lillian Brennard make much of two Important character roles."
