vehicle but strictly in line with their former successes They made a plunge into comic opera orera last season but have de decided decided decided this year ear to stick to the line of work that has bas made them both famous and rich so In creating their vehicle for this coming season they commis commissioned commissioned Mr Edgar Selden Solden who is the theauthor theauthor theauthor author of many man t successful farce conic conte dies to fit them with a n vehicle in line with their former successes and ana to say that Mr Selden has achieved their purpose is drawing it mildly He has

time trying to dodge these heels he h b is leading a very busy life Last week in Los Angeles the slipper of Miss Cordelia came off and struck k the haughty musical director square Qu r on top of the
