"You're Making a Miser Out of Me," "You Have Opened Up the Gates of Gladness," and "They May Be Old But They Want to Be Loved."
A hit, too, wen to Ernest Ball and Maude Lambert, who opened intermission. Ball started things off with his latest ballad, "You're Making a Miser Out of Me." Miss Lambert also had several new songs. The first was "You Have Opened Up the Gates of Gladness." She made two changes. During one Ball offered a number which he said was written by "another burglar." It is called "They May Be Old But They Want to Be Loved," which Ernest said just fitted him. His medley brought forth great returns as usual, and as usual he won more by pulling comedy than reaching for high ones.
