Fields.
When first she strode on the
stage and gaily waved a greeting
to the audience, the crowded coli
seum was wound around her little
finger. Combining the technique
of the good old-fashioned English
Music Hall with sophisticated
comedy, Gracie Fields gave her
middle western audience a taste of
the continental entertainment that
has captivated kings and cockneys
alike.
A dozen rolled into one.
Gracie Fields really is a con
glommerate of Bea Lillie, Ger

maid.
Completely at home, she did not
hesitate to comb her hair on the
stage with a big black comb, and
the versatility of her smart black
ana cerise gown completely fas
cinated the fashion minded of the
audience. The only time she ever
has stage-fright is when she re
turns to the Palladium, a large
London music hall which she con
siders her "home."
Songs are contributed.
People all over the world, many
of whom have never seen her, send
her the songs that she sings, al
though several are the composi
tions of her accompanist, Harry
Parr-Davis. Toward the end of
her program she announced that
"now we're gonna have a bit of

ing many old favorites as well -as
a particularly humorous ditty.
"Walter! Walter! Lead Me to the

After singing "r ' Bless Amer

with a war song written by Mr.
Parr-Davies. The whole audience
joined in the sentiment as she
asked that they "Wish me good
luck as you wave me good-bye,"
and applauded this great actress
