Tho proof of that statement is that this happy combination of musical artistry and rollicking humour is that thoy played for no I<M3 than 326 nights at the theatre mentioned, changing tho programme over forty timi-s, and that without producing a dull evening. Mr Claude Dampicr, who describe himself us 'Tho Professional Idiot," tho most effective of 'Billy' comedians ever in this'heniisphere-, is now a member of the company, and his contributions _ produce roars oi laughter uncoufined nightly.
