...heads the bill which is a very entertaining one. By far the greatest share of the laughs go to William and Joe Mandel, acrobats and comedians extraordinary; nothing could have been more mirthful than their antics in staging a supposedly extemporaneous exhibition. The third big act was a skit entitled "King Solomon Jr." It was a glimpse into the future, showing how the male of 1940 handles his six wives. Others on the bill were Sealo, a remarkable sea lion; Boyle and Bennett in songs and dances; Yvette Rugel, whose voice is far above the average heard on the vaudeville...
...jokes. Two of the acts required a state of inebriation on the part of the actors to be intelligible. While a third was devoted largely to the topic of home brew.

M."; Marie and Mary MacFarland the American Grand Opera Stars; Lane and Hendricks in a skit called "Listen Archie"; and La Dora and Beckman, the pair of white birds, who are better on the wing than when warbling...
...before he gave up drawing and became Life's dramatic editor should consult page 455. Those who believe there is an abler comic artist in the country than Gluyas Williams '11, should glance at page 458 before making an irrevocable decision. Those who liked "Dere Mable" should read the skit by its author, Edward Streeter '14, on long-distance telephones. Finally, those who feel that the Lampoon is most unique when it is most insanely ridiculous should look at the "Old, Old Master" by John Lavalle...
