"The Book of Bob"

"The Book of Bob" we felt from the start, had a story to Rive us, and we were not disappointed. This was more nearly extravangaza, as we have known it in the past, than the rest of the performance. Mr. Aimers acted well and sang with pleasing voice. His declamatory speeches, in contrast to the introductory stuff, were excellent. We liked Mr. Scotney, and we liked .Mr. Scotney's toes on the box. This actor continunes to surprise us in extravs. with the variety of his performances.

The various speakers in the banquet scene were all nicely incoherent. The Dungarees ballet was excellent. We would like to suggest that the owner of the "Time Marches On" voice go along to the "Majestic" sometime.

When we say this show dragged slightly we are not blaming the producer or the actors, but the authors. No show which runs to about half an hour can stand seven or eight full curtains. We realise Hob had many changes, but it was the job of the authors to see that these could be arranged without the two or three minutes of blank curtain to look at each time.
