.'Sham'' is from the pens of Geraldine
Bonner and Elmer Harris, and is a sa-
tire on the shabby-genteel class in New
York's society, who live beyond thelr

the comforts OF home, it ought to have
fans. The stage manager being i'm
pressed, sought Mr.. Shubert, the pro-
ducing manager. He brieuy replied u
that Mr.. Fitch had laid out the scene
as he wanted it, and that was the way K
it would remain. Then the young
ladies sought Mr.. Fitch. The author
did not exactly concur. Girls living in
a studio and pawning grandpa's por-
trait to buy cheese would hardly have
electric fans. The back window of the
