PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE.

THURSDAY. AND FRIDAY "Danny Boy," is comedy-drama with large helpings of sentimental, ever-green songs and heart-cheering humour against a topical war-time -background of "blitz" nighL-life. The story is about a famous cabaret star's search for her street musician husband and little son, complicated by the scheming of her manager to keep them apart for reasons of self-aggrandisement. The settings are eye-filling and the acting highly competent. With a simple story, easy to follow—endowed with plenty of robust, earthy humour, moments of sientimental pathos that are never overdrawn and embellished lavishly with songs, old and new, "Danny Boy" provides entertainment of unaffected honesty, chasing the tears away with a laugh and giving audi-

ences the opportunity to vevel in the melodies they love.
