To the ex-tanks who have been through the mill, and the tanks who are at present going through the struggle with about an even chance between sinking and reaching the shore, "The Awakening of Mr. PIpp," as shown by Charley Grapewin and his company at the Orpheum is a vivid reminder of the havoc a confirmed booze fighter creates, and while Grapewin does it so true to life that it is screamingly runny much of the time, there is an underlying pathos in the sketch, especially to those who have had any particular experience with the disease.
