"The Junior Partner."
The Royal audience was particularly easy Monday night and the Gaxton act went nearly as well as any of the standard vaudeville turns that preceded it.
Rupert Hughes will not add to his fame as a writer in any great degree with the sketch that Billy Gaxton is using to exploit his light comedy talents. "The Junior Partner" is a talky farce of the conventional sort in which the characters apparently overhear nothing and see less of what is going on all around them. Gaxton, always a finished player, should be fitted with a better vehicle if he is to stay in vaudeville.
