The Sultan of Sulu" at the Princess
theater tempts me to advise you to
break Lenten vows. if you are lover
Of good, tuneful music and know a
comedy production when you see it.
Frank Moulan, who is XII Ram, the
sultan, may have missed a twinkle or
two in The Founders" where his
starship first was witnessed at the
Princess. but there isn't a scintillation
missed in The Sultan of Sulu. He
reflects all the fun that there is in the
original book and adds a showcase
full of sparkles of his own.
Moulan was the real original sultan,
you remember, when the Ade piece
was first produced. and his perform
ance OF the part last night had the
stamp of made in New York" all over
It He is comedian who can sing,
and what is more to the point he can
make you laugh. His makeup is not
the only funny thing about him. An
appreciation for the ultimate meaning
Of a joke. and the skill to make it
plain is his. He has finesse in his fun
as well as a zest for the broadside as
saults on low comedy. We have heard
the "Remorse" song sung before, but
it. on "the cold gray dawn of the morn
ing after" Still another old favorite
which he made like new was "Since
First Met You" and. still another spell
of hysteria followed his plaintive
ditty about the girl from Michigan.
May Boley as the judge advocate put
on a costume that only a brave, pretty
woman would dare assume, and did a
speciality in the first act. Amt 1t Ter
rible, Dear?" which was worth the
price of admission to hear. She brought
the Sultan of Sulu" to time and made
the musical comedy a matter of the
moment. Zoe Barnett had her chance
in her Sweetheart" song and dance,
and was given a hearty greeting.
Edwin Stevens superior voice in a
couple of ballads and Helen Darlings
solo in the second act were additional
and approved episodes of the piece.
The production is scenically beauti-
full and Edward P Temple, who staged
the musical comedy has brought fine
feeling for action and grouping to the
presentation. The costumes are taste
full and the chorus is tuneful under
Selli Simonson's direction. The or
chestra played Alfred G.. Wathall's
music as if it liked 1t.

FIREMAN SAVES WOMAN
FROM BURNING HOTEL
Rushes Through Suffocating
Smoke and Makes Rescue

Albert Morrison, substitute fireman
of engine company, 4, proved himself
hero at a fire at the Hotel Bristol, a
six story building at AIS to 419 O'Far-
rell street. early yesterday morning,
by rushing through the. suffocating
smoke and rescuing Mrs. Mary Lathrop,
SO years old, who had been overcome by
the smoke In her bedroom. The other
guests Were able to save themselves.
Policeman J. L. Farrell saw smoke
issuing from the building and sent a
still alarm to engine 4.
The fire, which started in the grill.
was caused by crossed electric wires.
The place was soon filled. with smoke
and there was considerable difficulty
experienced in getting the guests out
of danger. All were safely piloted
through the smoke whenait was dis
covered that Mrs. Lathrop was missing
and Morrison bravely rescued her. She
soon revived.
The building is owned by r. S. Brown
and the hotel Is run by P. j. Ibos. The
damage to the building Is considerable,
probably between $4,000 and 100000
and the loss to the contents small.
