Show Sir Harry Lauder At Paramount Next Tues. There is no more popular star before be-fore the public than Sir Harry Lauder, and the announcement of his appearance at the Paramount Theatre, Provo, Utah, September 24, 1929, has aroused a preliminary interest in-terest that is notaible, even in this amusement loving city. The present tour is one of many that the Scots comedian has made to this country, and it is an interesting fact that, instead in-stead of wearing out his welcome, the popularity of this globe-trotting singing sing-ing comedian constantly grows with the yeans. This has been repeated ly demonstrated and this year has ben accentuated by the fact that it has been two years since his last appearances ap-pearances in this part of the world. Lauder began his career as a mere performer what is known in England .as a "comic"; but he has long ceased to be that. With the years, and his varied experience there has come to him the emotional as well as the fun-creating fun-creating development of a great artist; and never in his career, it is said, has he held such powerful sway over the great audiences that throng the theatres to see and hear him. Every recurring tour 'brings a budget bud-get of new songs, while the revivals are always such as the audiences would select if left to a popular vote. On Lauder's arrival in a city where he is announced to appear, he always finds, it is said, scores of letters from admirers requesting the singing of songs that have appealed to the writers in other years. This year's new songs have had the advantage of a tryout during Lauder's Antipodean Anti-podean tour, and will be utilized in his London engagement, which closely close-ly follows his comprehensive American Ameri-can tour. They are credited with being songs with the same "touch and go" that made and have always made "I Love A Lassie" and "She's Ma Daisy" exceptionally popular. The revived will, it is announced, cover the most successful of his CL'.i licr preseuiations. |
