Possibly It lies In tho iuU- take, from an artistic standpoint, ho makes In trying to combine comedy and song too much In the same per formance. There la an unavoidable disillusionment to the loveys-of comedy pure and simple In the frequent Intro duction of singing and dancing, with out rhyme or reaeon.
