" The Jail Birds"
" The Alhambra audience laughed at the clowning and seemed to find it good amusement, but it is doubtful whether the act will enjoy the vogue over here that was accorded to " The Mumming Birds."
" As with others, the style of humor in " The Jail Birds" is naively British, making its appeal through the same elementary human impulse that makes the bystanders roar with delight when a dignified old gentleman slips on a banana peel."
