'ON TOUR' THIS WEEK.
There is no more popular figure in the world of musical comedy and revue than Nelson Keys. whose most recent appearance in London was in the part of Hard-Boiled Herman in the record breaking Drury Lane success 'Rose Marie.' 'Bunch' Keys, as he is always called, made his London debut in 'The Arcadians' in 1909. since when his genius for comedy has been confined to the musical side of the theatre - except when in 1911 he played 'Ginger' in George Moore's play 'Esther Waters.' Listeners will remember the versatile little comedian in ' The Passing Show' (that rendezvous of men on leave in 1915), 'Bric-a-Brac,' "London, Paris and New York," 'The Curate's Egg' and 'Charlot's Revue.' Mr. Keys has also achieved great success in the U.S.A., with Florenz Ziegfeld's 'Follies.' This is Nelson Keys' first 'microphone tour.' Be sure to hear him when he comes on your wavelength.
