In “And They Lived Happily Ever After.” This was a great disappointment, the only act on the bill that really fell down and it did with a thud. I am in perfect accord with the audience’s opinion of it – that it is very bad: for about 3 minutes it is funny, then as one knows in advance just what is coming, the fun grows less and less until at the finish the curtain goes down with hardly a snicker. It is barely possible that the No. 1 Company did it better than this organization. The fact remains, as a headline feature it is a dismal failure. 12 min. F.S.
