THE CAST
BY sIDLE LAWRENoE

THERE Is much hilarity, but little
novelty in 1.-THE Typewriter Girl"
- at the Grand this week The
story-there is one, though it is left
suspended at the final curtain some
where between the gridiron and the
stage floor-retells the old, familiar
tale of two husbands who go out for
a time during the absence of their
wives from home. They find the time,
the place and the girls without diff
Guilty. Then the wives return. The
girls arrive upon the scene and trouble
ensues. That's all there is to it, and
the idea has been utilized so frequent
ly that perhaps 1t is asking too much
to expect originality in the relation of
the yarn. Certainly there wasn't much
of that commodity upon the Grand
stage yesterday afternoon. Even the
songs, many of them, were familiar,
while one or two were absolutely hack
neyeds "Bill, You Done Me Wrong"
for instance, has been sung to death
both In theaters and in the cafes.
However, if you are, happily, of the
disposition which permits you to enjoy
the old, old songs and to laugh at the
old, old jokes, you will have no quarrel
with 1.-THE Typewriter Girl" Indeed,
If your visits to theater are only oc-
casional you will probably regard her
as a sprightly and rather amusing
young woman.
The feature stunt this week is
moderately daring disrobing act, very
clumsily done. Doubtless this will
either be improved or omitted before
many more performances AS pre-
sented yesterday there Is little excuse
for its retention.
But enough of fault finding. There
is considerable good acting in this
piece. Elise Schuyler gives an eccen-
trio portraiture of the title role that
is worth many a laugh. Charles Glib
lyn, as a tough chauffeur, also pro-
while Libby Blondell, Thomas HaVer-
ly and Harry Wardell contribute large
ly to the fun. The chorus is attractive
ly and yariously costumed and the
musical events" as they are an
nounced on the program, make good
with the audience, which is all the
most exacting manager could desire.
The three songs that won widest ap-
probation yesterday afternoon were
"She Hasn't Done Her Hair Up Yet"
risque affair, sung by Libby Blon-
dell and the chorus; a parody duet,
sung to the music of the old Reuben,
Reuben, I've Been Thinking" by Miss
Blondell and Mr.. Haverly, and new
song, "That's the Kind of a Gull for
Mine" composed by Kirk Patrick and
recited by Elise Schuyler.
Other attractive numbers are II
Want to Be a Merry, Merry Widow"
by Miss Schuyler and chorus; "The
Time, the Place and the Girl" by
Aubrey Carr and chorus; "Under the
Motza Tree" by Harry Wardell and
chorus, and the familiar "Glow
Worm,' sung by Libbie Blondell and
chorus. Wardell sings "Bill, You Done
Me Wrong" and sings 1t well enough
to provide an excuse for its use.
"Uncle Sammy Girl" new song by
Leola Maye, a local composer, was
omitted yesterday afternoon, though
on the program.

FEWER IN THE EPISCOPAL
CLERGY THAN YEAR AGO
Dispositions Due to Open Pulpit Canon
Partly Explain Loss to Church
In America.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 29-For the first
time, probably in its history, The Epis-
copal church in the United States re-
ports a decrease in the number of its
clergy, due in part to an unusually
large list of dispositions from the
priesthood and to an abnormally high
death rate during the last year. The
annual statistics show total of 5,411
clergy, a decrease of Is from 1907.
The increase in dispositions is ascrib-
ed to the action of 1G or more of the
clergy who, resenting what they
termed the open pulpit" canon
adopted by the last general convention
entered the Roman Catholic church.
The defections occurred largely in
Pennsylvania. Wisconsin and Illinois.
The list of candidates for holy or
ders shows a decrease of II, but the
number of postulants is greater by 81.
