that he is the only man in the
world who can do it. Mack and
Williams in songs and dances
would be rather ordinary If it we're
not for Mack's novel stunt of dane
ing up and down stairs on small
staircase erected on the stage.
Vera Berliner, violinist, was well
received, her rendition of "The
Last Rose of Summer" being espe-
cially good Clark and Bergman
have good sketch. Bergman sings
very well. Clarice Pasquelena in
"The G. o. D. Package" does a
good "bowery girl stunt and Mr..
Sullivan, opposite her, sings rather
we'll. James Thornton, monologist,
has talk that is far too long for
the quality of the jokes he uses.
He sings a couple of songs of his
own composition that are good but
the. balance of his act would be
much improved by being cut in
two. The headliner "Futurity Win.
ner,," is a mighty fine act. The
members of the company are uni
formly good and the finale is a
horse race on the stage with three
horses entered; and they really run
to beat the band-on the same
contrivance that is used for the
chariot races in "Ben-Hur." The
moving pictures present a trip
through the Yellowstone Park.

be the favorite. Bacon is certainly
an easy liar, If he goes through

like he does in the play, under
the significant name of William

largely to Mabel WILDER as 1.-THE

habited by femininity like her in
every day life it's no wonder that
town is giddy and gay. night and

she's merely simple little country
girl with only $20,0O0,O00 or so to
live on. The beauty that blooms

footlights don't discount a bit.
What effect this combination
has on the male Partisan is highly
amusing as Miss WILDER and the
company interpret It. Charles
Meakins as the prince and her
chief support is fine both in APP
pearance and voice. There is more
music in Miss WILDER and Meakin's
dancing than in the vocalization.

great and about the only criticism
to make is that the score Is writ

at all about the final scene In a

shocked some at that II you are
looking for sensations of that sort.
But the worst construction you can
put on II is cleaner and better all

THE HARP OF JOHN D.
ROCKEFELLER-POET
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, May 24.-The fol
lowing lines, written by no less q
bard than John d. Rockefeller, are
likely to become a part of the "un
written law" of the Metropolitan
Training School for Nurses, which
is now in session on Blockwell's
ISLANDS:
A wise old owl sat on an oak;
The more he saw the less he
spoke;
The more he spoke the less he
heard.
Why can't you be like that wise
old bird?
The lines were quoted to the
nurses at their opening session by
William Rhinelander Stewart
President of the State Board OF
Charities, and the inference was
made very plain that the poem
would be good one for the nurses
to bear in mind.
