"The Jewel of Asia" Presented for First
Time at the odeon.

"The Jewel Of Asia" Presented for First
Time at the Odeon.
John P. Slocum's The Jewel of
ASIA an oriental musical comedy that
was produced for the first time in New
York two seasons ago. came to the
Odeon Friday night. Lyrically the piece
is not up to the high standard set by
some of the other musical comedies
that have proved SO popular during the
past few seasons, altho there is some
very catchy music. The lack of solo
voices is very noticeable. and were it
not for Vera Michelena herself, the
piece would fall flat musically. The
chorus is not bad, but not particularly
strong, and the costuming, with the
exception Of one act, was below the
average. William Blaisdell, in the
leading comedy role, was very satisfac-
tory, but his support in comedy way
was disappointment. An opportunity
for a good voice lay in the character
of Yussuf Popiphar, portrayed by
George Damerel. but the voice was
lacking. The audience was small.

age the accident may prove fatal.
Stout. who is known about the place
as Tracey" had climbed to the top
of a pile of baled hay, which reached
upward under the highest point of the
roof, to throw down the evenings sup
ply. Sinking the hook into a bale, he
braced to pull, when the iron tore out
and he pitched backward off the pile.
He struck the NOV floor on his head

smashed thru the flooring, splintering
the boards. He was picked up UNI

We're given, and the answers to these
indicate that it is the jury's opinion
that the preponderance of evidence
shows Mrs. Hanousek to have fallen on
an accumulation of snow and ice at
the alley, and not north of the alley.
Some of the witnesses testified that the
woman fell at a point north of the
alley, and others at the alley that leads
to the rear of the postoffice, past the
Odeon theater According to the jury
the city would be relieved of any liza
bility, and Busby Bros, managers of
the Odeon would be liable for the ac-
of snow and ice that caus-
ed the plaintiff to fall and break her
ankle. The verdict is very small one
and City Solicitor Van Law is pleased
at the finding.
