Lauder's return to the United States
js an incident in his world tour, which
he inaugurated last season. He had
originally intended sailing direct to
Australia, via the Suez Canal, but
finding that impossible owing to
shipping conditions, he yielded to the
request of William Morris, his Amer
ican manager, to sail from San Fran
cisco, and to entertain the American
public en route across the Continent.
Another shipping congestion made it
impossible to sail direct for South
Africa, the next objectfve in his world
tour, and - so the United States will
again have an opportunity to see and
hear the comedian before his de
parture for the Far South. Accord
ing to his present plans he will leave
New York in February and sail for
South Africa early in March.
For his Australian tour Lauder
prepared a number of new and char
acteristic songs, and many of these
will be utilized for tire American tour.
Among them are "We All Go Hame
the Same Way," "I Think I'll Get Wed
in the Summertime,"' "When I Was
Twenty-oner which is said to rival in
popularity the famous drollerie "She
Is Ma Daisy," and other songs that
are distinctly Laauderesque.
Sir Harry still carries his company
of Highland pipers great strapping
fellows, in the inevitable kilts and
he is assisted by a notable company
of internationally-famous entertainers.
