Tho sixth presentation of tho farce tirew another crowded audience t > th<, Thealro Rcyul last evening. v.lun Richard Taber unci Hale Norcross ecored a decided hit. Lauehtcr and moro laughter is the result of seeing "Is Zat So?" end thoio who sa-.v Hi,, aI IOW i- 1? t niyi-.t found an irresistible desire to scream. The erratic adventures of Chick, who falls an easy viclii'i to every attractive girl who looks at him, were followed % the audience v.-.th interest, prcbably because this is a phase of human nature that everyono understands perfectly. The reformation of the drunken Englishman by two earnest pugilists is none the le« ccnvincipg. As Chick, the cnthusiiii'tic wooer, Richard Tabcr is food to watch. He is supported by Hale Norcross, who acu tiic part of tho manager, and who fills a convincing role. Mury Ifanlcy is tho lady en whom Chick finally sets his affections, which up to the lime he met her had been rather erratic. Cl,pit and Hap, as butler and footman in aristocratic households, were not exactly a success, but they must have relieved their employers of boredom.
