"TIP TOES” SEASON
“QUEEN HIGH” WEDNESDAY “Tip Toes,” the popular musical comedy, continues to draw good audiences to His Majesty’s Theatre. There was big business on Saturday, and the show obviously has the qualities making popular appeal inevitable. The comedy work of R. Barrett-Lennard and Cecil Kellaway is superb, and Leyland Hodgson plays his part with artistic easiness. Miss Thelma Burness makes a charming leading lady. On Wednesday night, “Tip Toes” will b© succeeded by “Queen High,” a deliciously tuneful musical comedy which did big business in Melbourne. It is a jazz version of the farcical comedy “A Pair of Sixes.” Two squabling partners are the central figures, and most of the intervals between their violent cross-fire are filled in with a variety of songs and dances. The production is spectacular, and there is an attractive show of silk stocking, and let it be whispered, garters, too. The parts of the partners will be taken by R. Barrett-Lenanrd and Cecil Kellaway. Miss Billie Lockwood, who played Coddles in Melbourne, scored a big success there. Josephine Head,
Albert Hugo and Mdlle. Ramona will do some new feature dancing for the show. / The box plans are now open.
