A College Boy at New Grand Delights City Audience
An unusually competent company led by Ralph Riggs presented the three act musical comedy A College Boy at the New Grand on Wednesday night to a very good house. The company, which staged the work here last year, drew a large crowd and did not disappoint. Ralph Riggs as Freddie and Mr. Broderick shone in well cast roles. The musical numbers were fresh and catchy, except for the repeated frayed tune I'm Married Now. Mr. Fuges and Miss Witchle delivered particularly fine dancing.
