fashion, fo r this American composer-enter­
tainer. lon g a headliner in th e leading vaudeville
th eat re s of the States ; ·q~::b~en making hi s first'
appeara nce in the sa~~~ acity before En g lish
a nd Scottish audiences. ML Ball· is now play­
ing at the bi g Paladiuri1·':tneatre, London, and
is meetin g with a royal reception. He is jli s t
as big a favorite with vaudeville audiences in
Engl a nd as he is in America-no tribute is more
eloquent than that.
Booked to mak e his
r egu lar annual tour over the Orphnlln Cir­
cu it here, ML Ball was due back shortly, but
hi s success "over there" has changed these
plans and he has just cabled his publishers, :tvI.
Witmark & Sons, that he has had to extend his
Engli s h e nga gem ent indefinitel y. All of which
will b e welcome news to Mr. Ball's countle ss
follow e r s and admirers both here and in Can­
ada.
.\mong the new song successes ~'Ir. Ball has
introduced in En gland are his own "Ten Thou­
sand Years From Now"· and "Out There in the
Sunshine With You." In ad dition to these he
is singing his old medley of world-famous s uc­
cesses, including "Mother Machree," "My Wild
Iri s h Ro se" and "A Little Bit of H eave n,"
"Iris h Eyes," " L et th e Rest," "Love Me," etc.
