No one can be too grateful to him. He makes it possible for the rest of us to behave like re asonable people. Without Robey, we should all be compelled to ha fools.
He saves the situation. He ex- presses not only his own fool- ishness, but ours as well-better than we could. Thanks to him, there is no need to do silly things. He does them all for you.
And he does them perfectly. He is subtle. Although perhaps the greatest of the mirth-makers, he never laughs himself. Like jeveryone else. he takes pains. to keep up the. illusion that he isn'i fool. He is indignant if you laugh at him. Little Tich makes you laugh by laughing

He finds the audience roaring at his grotesque love-making. At once he breaks of, and walks to the front of the stage to appeal for silence.

He must become "a short whiskerei minion of the

"I'll declare!" cried he." aren't you the smart one though? How did you guess what I needed? I'm getting so stout from being asked out to meals that I need about six gussets. I'm sure the Fairy Queen wouldn't mind that, for she agreed to keep the liveries of all her helpers in repair."

Perhaps he reaches the climax of his art in a burlesque boxing match with an imaginary For about five minutes opponent. he says nothing, but all the time his audience are helpless with laughter. There is a typical Rober touch. When he is running round the ring in an effort to avoid his opponent, a bell rings. At once he increases his pace. The last lap!
It will be a sad day whet George Robes really approaches his last lap. No longer will it be possible to be comfortable spec- tators of our own foolishness. We shall be in the desperate position of having to make perh other laugh. George Robey can't be spared.
