"Come Back to Erin."
But there was no cause for anxiety over the strength of the musical jackis. At the Colonial last week they battled in the tough closing position as they are this week also in doubling at the Alhambra. But again filling closing intermission, they repeated last week's Palace success and again justified their booking. One of the fiddlers played a violin solo, "Come Back To Erin,"
perhaps in respect for St Patrick's Day and it got over. The balance of the turn ran as to former routine, with the jazz sections "shooting the piece." Quite a proportion of the audience got real excited over the sailor lads and the applause was as lusty as it was
sincere. The band's leader appeared here last season as a chief petty officer. He has since
arisen to the dignity of a commission and his work with the band was deserving of a commission.
