Show GOOD THINGS CROWD ACTi 2 S t? MUSICAL COMEDY TICKLES New Programme at Pan-tages Pan-tages Acclaimed as Right Sort of Stuff. HE A DLIXED by a condensed musical comedy that has almost too many good things in it for the time allowed, the new bill at Pa mages theater yesterday yester-day played to capacity houses despite the manifold attractions of the cooler out-of-doors. All of which goes to prove that the new bill is a good one. The musical comedy, "At Ocean Leach," Is more than the tabloid musical comedy that the advertise! s call it. If it were given the time that its merit deserves, de-serves, it would be a regular comic opera with all the frills of good music, good character parts, good dancing and a lot of pretty girls, for it has all those things: Don Adams, Billy Batchelor and Hazel Vert are given credit as the sturs of "At Ocean Beach," but the other singers and the chorus deserve a lot of praise as well. The bill opens with a trick bicycle stunt by Mortimer Macrae and Gertrude Clegg. This pair of yaudevillians are not only crack riders, but they introduce a lot of fun-making novelties in their act that make it one of the best of its kind. Brown and Jackson as "The Clubman and the Suffragette" have a good line of chatter, of the quick repartee sort. Their line amuses, while it does not add particularly par-ticularly to one's store of either interest or knowledge. Their theme is a bit outworn. out-worn. In "TIi rough a Looking Glass," the Doris Wilson trio of good-looking girls take rather long to get to the looking-glass looking-glass part of their skit. But once they arrive they do some clever acting. I Patricola, called the "Queen of the I Cabaret," has no cabaret with her, but I she sings a lot and sings well. Her songs are funny.
