A decidedly clever plot is worked
out in THE Pledge of Coronova," a
Russian revolutionary drama, pre-
sented at the Pantages this week
by the John J. Justice and Ethel
Roman company. With his house
surrounded by troops, the young
revolutionist manages the killing of
the chief of police by his own
guards, and with his sister, passes
through the lines with passports
given by that official, who had de-
signed to win favor in the eyes of
Coronova.

WASHINGTON

One of the popular numbers this
week is the comedy sketch, "A Les
son in Reform" presented by Flor
ence Modena and Charles Gardner.
This sketch is delightfully."- funny
and keeps the audience in con-
slant laugh from start to finish.
Miss Modena is decidedly clever in
her part and brings out all its best
comedy, while Mr.. Gardner, a
clever young actor, shows his abil-
ity as a comedian in the way he
enacts the part of the reforming
husband. The singing of Flo Pat
terson has won for her very pop
