Our Captious Critic: THE VAGABOND KING AT THE WINTER GARDEN THEATRE
... Qjvw Cm c THE VAGABOND KING AT THE WINTER GARDEN THEATRE. THE critics are men of serious mind who always weigh musical comedy by avoirdupois, so they find The Vagabond King nearly perfect.

Our Captious Critic: GOOD MORNING, BILL! AT THE DUKE OF YORK'S THEATRE
... Qur Oft'0* Ot GOOD MORNING, BILL! AT THE DUKE OF YORK'S THEATRE. THIS play, by P. G. Wodehouse, is a triumph of good acting, good- humour, and amusing conversation over a weak story. Whenever the piece threatens to hang fire, whether through monotony or incredibility of situation, an odd remark, perfectly delivered by one of the small but clever cast, causes the sails of the venture to fill ...
