I'm WRITING farce, when in doubt
introduce a bigoted clergyman to
= help out the joke, a church of
England clergyman by choiee-the cler-
ical garb makes it so much funnier,
you know. If still in doubt bring in a
detective who couldn't deduce the
whereabouts of that little beast known
scientifically as an Americans me-
phitis, even if the animal chanced to be
in bad humor. After that, if some-
thing more is needed, provide an en-
trance for a lady of the stage, an al
together impossible young person, ex-
penslvely gowned, heavily rouged and
with a penchant. for displaying silk
hosieEy whether in rain or shine. Then,
if the audience doesn't laugh, you might
just as well throw the thing into the
ash barrel, for it's hopeless.
At the Belasco last night the audi
ence did laugh. They laughed at How
ard Scott. the clergyman. They laughed
at Harry Glazier, the detective, and
they laughed at Adele Harrington, the
actress lady. Likewise they laughed
long and loud at Joe Galbraith, who
was neither a clergyman, a detective
nor an actress, but plain John Smith,
a London householder, in difficulties.
Too Much Smith
OF course, there isn't anything quite
so funny as the spectacle of an inno-
cent man properly up against 1t. Smith
in this instance had done nothing more
reprehensible than to come to the res
cue of young woman who had lost
herself in one of those Egyptian night
affairs termed by courtesy a London
fog. That started the trouble. Addi-
tional complications were provided
through the arrival at the Smith home
of another Mrs. John Smith. wife of
the Rev. John Smith, who had mis-
taken the layman John Smiths flat for
her own; the subsequent arrival of the

during the entire week, with a recep-
tion Thursday evening. April 23, linn

| In response, William M. Garland,
president of the club, received mes
sage of acceptance yesterday from Ad-
miral Robley D. Evans, speaking for
himself and the officers of his fleet.
The California club has member
ship of $50, about $50 of whom are
nonresident. The function of April
20 will be formal in one particular only
invitations are to be issued to the
officers, but as no one else is hidden
except members of the California clut
and their ladies, the evening will take
on the features of an informal "at
home" 1t is safe to predict that every
one who is affiliated with the club
either through membership or by mar
riage, "as it were" will avail them
selves of this opportunity to meet the
distinguished visitors, and an attend
ance of 1000 or more can be expected.
The entire club house is to be thrown
open on that evening, the reception
taking place on the first floor and
dancing on the second. while supper
tables will occupy the third floor and
on the fourth-the roof garden-Wil
be coffee and cigars.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Discussing
business conditions, James ]. Hill, just
arrived in the city from Washington,
expresses himself as unable to predict
an early revival of business.
while 1 cannot permit myself to be
too optimistic" he said, Il am trying
not to be pessimistic. The general re-
covery in business which has been pre-
dicted has not yet manifested itself to
any remarkable degree and it is not to
be expected that it should. The pre-

other Mrs. Smith; the belated arrival
of the fog young woman, and the ar
rival. too. of half dozen more in
dividuals who had no business in the
Smith flat except to make things ex-
citing for the flats owner.
There is nothing new in the farce,
but that doesn't make it any the less
amusing. OF course, there is a some
what involved and somewhat ludicrous
confusion of Identities; the usual dodg-
ing in and out of doors, and the usual
frenzed efforts of an innocent husband
to keep his wife in ignorance of the
fact that pretty much every room in
her home conceals a woman who has
no business to be there; but the audi
ence last night not only forgave these
time worn tricks, but applauded them
literally into the bargain and laughed
and laughted and laughed.
Just Escaped Novelty
A glance at the program before the
rise of the curtain on the first act led
me to believe that Facing the Music
would prove an unusual farce. The
time of action was specified as between
10 o'clock and noon of an autumn
morning in London. I didn't see just
exactly how the Belasco company was
going to play a farce without the lead
ing man, at least, in evening clothes,
but I didn't see, either, how he was
going to play this farce in them.
found out, though. This particular
morning was the morning after the
night before, and Mr.. Galbraith, on his
first appearance, showed UP in the
usual attire. When that happened l
knew we were all in for a convention
ally humorous time and / settled back
to enjoy it undisturbed by further APP
prehension of novelty.
Galbraith Funny Again
Galbraith was funny as a matter of
course. We have seen him only in
comedy recently and some few of us.
perhaps, are in danger of forgetting
that he can play anything else. How
ever, that doesn't so much matter so
long as he continues to enliven the
John Smiths of farce in so very lively
fashion as he does this week.
Harry Glazier, too, as the stupidly
egotistical detective, contributed large
ly to the merriment of the evening by
broadly humorous characterization,
effective both in acting and in make
up. Howard Scott was ultra conven-
tional as the clergyman-thats what
makes the role funny-and Adele Far
rington realized bee-autifully the con-
ventional stage "actress," except that
she failed to do any high kicking. Or
dinarily the Tottief Beauxjambes and
the Miss Fotheringays of the Bijou
theater are not so foot-coy
