That “Vagland” is a funny show is proven by the write-ups of the variout papers. The Fort Wayne Daily News writes: “The audience fairly doubled up with laughter.” The Journal Gazette writes: “The audience howled throughout the whole show.” The Sentinel writes: “Vagland made a distinct hit.” If you enjoy a good, hearty laugh, or if you are sore at yourself, if you think the world has singled you out as the fall “guy,” to be a stopping point for tribulations of life, get over it. It don't get you nothing, and you are only fooling yourself. There is always some body that is worse off than you, and we’ve found two of those unfortunates. They are two German comedians in "Vagland/' If you think you are treated mean, come and compare your troubles. You'll find yourself discounted forty ways and you’ll go home laughing in spite of yourself, Vagland brings the tears to your eyes but they're not tears of sadness; only laughter.
