comedians "copped" first"prize while

Today the final bill of the week g.,v.
an introduction, nnd from the outiin j
of it given to us by Bob Shaw we aro
convinced it will pleaso as well as the
two that'preceded It. It is quite dit;

anything from the comedy.
'Madam Fifi" is the ti^le of the bid

effective screen material for ins, JJ
