Jessop and Gill, entitled «In Paradise.” It is a well known fact that Raymond’s admirers are given to laughing at anything and everything he says or does, but in Paradise ” he has a part that fits him like the paper on the wall, As Major Bob Belter, he is at his best, and irresistibly funny, and things go with a roar. The play here as elsewhere is an unques- Uonable success. The plot, if not original, 18 amusing and the story is clearly told. The dialogue 1s fall of humor and the sitnations are decidedly comical.
