Leo Stevens replicates his comedy routine from "Columbia Burlequers."
"The Girls from Happyland."
If "The Girls from Happyland" show had not follow the Stone-Pillard "Social Maids" production at the Columbia, it would very likely have made a much more favorable impression than it has this week. While most of the material has very frequently been used by other shows at that house during the past three or four seasons, much of it is good and the only fault that can be found with it is its antiquity. There is not an individual in this cast who does not possess the ability to do exceedingly admirable work. They demonstrate this in the manner in which they hold the material allotted, but it is a forlorn undertaking to entertain the public with gags and scenes with which patrons of burlesque houses are as familiar as they are with a story they have heard time and time again.
