After the most successful spring tour in years the Hasty Pudding show "Laugh It Off", at 8.15 o'clock tonight opens at the Fine Arts Theatre in Boston for a three day run. Praises lavished upon the show before its first performance have been reiterated throughout the tour.
The performance in Northampton, which broke a precedent of 81 years standing, was lauded in a review by the Smith College Weekly. "With a great deal of that elusive quality called 'charm' and with notable finish and literary excellence, the Harvard Hasty Pudding Club's Laugh It Off' captured the applause as well as the hearts of its audience," declared the reviewer.
The show played before expacity houses at every performance and in Philadelphia before an audience of more than 1000. Boston has received the show with the same interest and for the three performances less than 100 seats remain unsold.
On the road reviewers declared the work of W. S. Wilson '27. J. H. Wright '25, and R. F. Burke '25 proved that the success of a Hasty Pudding show rests upon the quality of individual talent. "There is no doubt," insists the Smith College Weekly, "but that the honors go to Myrtle Grady, the fascinating little Irish girl."
