The Friars are always frolicking in
side their Monastery in West Forty
eightti street. Sometimes their jam
borees create such a rlol of amusement
that they break ri#rhi through the
Monastery walls and come out in pub
lic. That's what happened last night at
the Forty-eighth Street Theater, when
a Frolic was repeated that liad been
given at the club house on March 5.
Friar Frank Monroe, the frolicker for
the occasion, had finally decided to re
vive the program r.t the behest of an
earnest constituency who said their
friends got very little opportunity to
laugh right out loud.
So the friends, including wives and
sweethearts, came and laughed to the
capacity of the theater. Monroe and
Alan Brooks were the stars of the even-.
ing, both as performers and as authpes ]
who fomented the various sketches. "It i
Could Ua/ppcn to Any Husband" and
"True to the Friars," were presented as
entertaining sample* i?f Brooks's handl
wo-k. "In the Grill" was one <>f .Mon
roe's concoctions. In addition there
were various surprise acts and *pe< lai
ties.
