Birth Day Comedy Delights The Theatre Audience
A German born comedy titled The Birth Day was staged for the first time at this theatre on Monday. Captain Bertram and his twin, both named Bertram, contend over a garden in a fifteen year suit. The play blends pathos and humor, with Funk and Henry aiding reconciliation on the day they turn sixty three.
