SONGS AND SENTIMENT
By BILL PLAY
For the next change at the Queen's Theatre there is a treat in store for those who love that good old type of theme which enshrines the beautiful sentiment of gratitude. "Let's Sing Again" Is the apt title of this charming RKO-Radio production, and it features a very bright little star in the person of eight-year-old Bobby Breen, who was discovered" by Eddie Cantor and featured by that justly popular artist fri bis celebrated radio programmes. Good looking, subdged and ob- " viously a born artist with a voice of thistledawn, Bobby Breen shows in this production that there are still producers and actors who can successfully "put over" a "chlid show" without making it sickeningly sweet with mawkish sentimentality.
To tell the story would be to spoil the pleasure of a first sight of "Let's Sing Again." but seeing it at the pre-view yesterday carried me back many years when the good old type of unsophisticated drama brought so much pleasure and satisfaction to a less Jaded genera- tion.
Suffice it to say that Bobby Breen' plays the part a little boy in an orphanage who was left there by his mother shortly before she died.
