Here the audience Is thrilled by the sight of bombs exploding ex-ploding and setting fire to skyscraping buildings which blaze up a d crumble in an awe-inspiring orgy of realism running rict. As the entertainment is essentially a revue, many of the most popular theatrical successes of Broadway's last season are burlesqued.
