"Where The Laugh Comes In." In commenting on "Whore tho Laugh Comes In, which, appears at tho opera house in this place Monday, Sopt. 30, the Pittsburg Times of Sept. 10, says: "There was a Dig audience last night at tho Empire theater in the East e.nd, and the people laughed until they cried. The bill was a farce comedy called "Where tho Laugh Comes In, but the house did not recognize it as a "gone over" edition of "Llttlo Puck," In which Frank Daniels once made a hit. It stuck pretty closely to tho story of "Vlco Versa," as written by F. An stey. The company worked with a will, and within ir minutes of the rise of the curtain the members of the audience were holding their sides, and by tho end of tho first act their cheeks were aching from laughter. Charles H. Phil lips, us "Dr. Brown," with a whistle in his speech, caught the fancy of the gal lery from his first appearance, and kept them in a roar. W. F. Bryant and Tom Ripley, as tho father and son who change places, did clover farcical work. Paul Herd man, a typical comedy dude, also got a share of the applause, and sung sevoral songs very well. Hottie Bernard Chose, a girl who might have stepped out of "The Amazons," provid ed a background for the comedians and Ida Kcune was a funny German maid. The socond act was funnier than the first, and the whole thing was a morry entertainment from start to finish." K. of P. Memorial. Valiant Lodge No. 401.
