The screen play and clever dialogue is the work of Joseph Jackson and Raymond Griffith and Michael Curtiz directed. The uproarious sequences are dominated by Toto, the irrepressible lover, and amazing indeed are the Ways and means by which he takes on and discards the ladies of his adoration. It is on the capture of an American girl, Diane, that his attention is fixed. She, though elusive, is as much captivated bv Toto as that wise gentleman “a finally makes her pathize with his sists that he se months and the tor’s examina The docte that absc necessar and th: kiss fata’ lar } down, the contestants for Toto’s favor engage in hair-pullings, and to make matters worse, Diane wires that she is departing, but cannot do so until she has once more been kissed by Toto. Faced by love for the lady and fear of a hasty exit, not only from Paris but from life— he prepares for the latter—and orders Diane into his presence! What happens is just a bit more laughable than the thousand and one other things which flash through earlier scenes of “God’s Gift to Women.” The play was roundly and continuously applauded last night at the Theatre. It is more than worth your while to see it.

Lambert’s youthful initiation into the show business came when he thrilled Nickelodeon audiences by his boy-soprano singing of songs with illustrated slides. He was born in Manhattan in 1898, so his tender age, when he entertained the early movie fans, can be imagined.
