With the exception of Glenn Burris, the Caliph, the other performers match Drake's buoyancy very well. Henry Calvin plays the Wazir of Police with a cheerful ghoulishness reminiscent of Fancourt's Mikado. In "Was I Wazir," with an accompaniment wisely lifted from Wonderful Town rather than In Central Asia,Calvin has one of the best bits in the show. Joan Diener, as the Wazir's crrant wife, is sultry and sarcastic, with a figure to please even the most myopic in the second balcony. With comic relish, she joins Drake in the slaughter of a smutty little horror called...

The feverish chasing is punctuated with...

...York Hospital, Surgeon Frank Glenn opened the Senator's abdomen in the hope of finding that the malignancy had originated in a specific organ; then the primary site could be removed, or treated with radiation. But no such site could be found. A growth was found in one kidney, but it was not the primary site. The abnormal cells were all over, and new experimental chemicals proved useless against them.
