While it is billed as a skit, it has all the ear marks of a travesty inasmuch as the character portrayed by Chas. Miles is that of a fresh express man who makes a habit of walk ing in without knocking. " Fred and Villa Royce present a comedy singing, talking skit en titled "Here Comes the Bride and Away Goes My Liberty." This is a fast, snappy line of chatter ..cle verly put over by a pair of real artists. Their singing voices are pleasing and they present a nov elty surprise finish that usually creates applause. It is an offer ing that will satisfy, amuse and entertain charmingly. The Wilsons are a perfect type Of real athletes returning to vau- shfp of Myles StandJsh. which tsdeville after playing a successful season with-the circus-under the round tops and have established themselves as. a standard act of real merit. 'Fred and Tatty." the opening act on the bill, present a beautiful dancing act . entitled "Daueing Delnx." Feb. 2S. Money orders are now being accepted and the seat sale at the box office will open Mon-! day. "A Hlg Reward" is from the pen j of Aaron Hoffman, who has con- structed an exceedingly witty com-1 edy, depending for laushter on the : ludicrous efforts of detectives, j both amateur and professional, to I recover a priceless painting stolen: from the Metropolitan -Museum of j Art. Hoffman has made his story i fit exactly with the fun-making qualities of Kolb and Dill. The j eternal conflict between the pair ! provides a maximum of laughter j which continues throughout to a ' surprising climax. ! Kolb portrays the role of Fred erick Erandt, a "man about town." a sort of gay ' rounder," and the action of the piece transpires in his apartment in a big Xew York hotel. Dill, his roly-poly associate, is seen as a waiter in this same hostelry. Kolb and Dill have assembled an exceptionally all-star cast this season. Anions the principals sup porting the comedians are Ivan Miller, Richard Allan. May Cloy and Rose Ludwig. Asusual, they are carrying their own special orchestra under the leadership of Leo Flanders, an Aggregation of musicians who have gained prominence in the world of catchy music. i v flicfiard.
