THE TIME PLACE AND GIRL
A Delightful Musical Comedy At Colonial
Theatre Monday Night

F. A. Wade will present at the Col
onial Theatre Monday night, Novem-
bre q a comedy with music entitled
The Time, The Place and The Girl. y
During a run of 463 consecutive nights
in Chicago this piece was received with
such unequivocal approval by the thea
tre-goers of that city that it not only
ran this length of time but exceeded in
point of attendance any play that has
ever appeared there.
The reasons for this unusual success
are ascribed by the management to the
fact that the authors struck a new idea
in musical plays and developed with
unusual skill. It is comedy with
unique characters and unique situations
as rigid as those used by the best
known writers of plays without music.
1t would be interesting if there were
not song in it. But with a pleasant
accompaniment of pleasant music, viva
cious dances and pretty girls introduced
legitimately, it has all the attractive
features of both musical and legitimate
comedies

THE ARMY INDIGNANT
Superintendent OF West Point Hears OF
Pool Raised By Cadets

1t has been learned in Annapolis
that the Superintendent of the West
Point Military Academy is highly in
dignant over the fact that the corps
of cadets there raised pool of
something like $4,000, and covered
the wager for like amount made
by the Midshipmen at the Naval
Academy on the outcome of tomor-
rows football battle at Philadelphia
The superintendent did not get
wind of the fact until after the
money had been placed, and though
much against the wish of the authori-
ties,lt is understood no action will be
taken. For several years the Off
Gals at both institutions have sought
to prevent betting by the Cadets or
Midshipmen. but it has been a custom
of years standing for the rival stu
dent bodies to offer def" in sup
port of their team in the great an
nual game.
Interest in this years struggle is
so keen that the Cadets and Middies
waged practically all of the spare
cash they had in their jeans.

A PRETTY HOP
Thanksgiving Eve Dance OF The Middes
A Large Social Affair

Thanksgiving Eve ball at the Naval
Academy, at which the Midshipmen
were hosts. was the largest hop, and by
tar the most attractive of the season.
There were present large numbers of
visiting girls from nearby cities includ-
ing Washington and Baltimore, and
even from Philadelphia and New York.
Owing to the hop being the special
dance of the early season, and because
of the unusually large number present
the dance was held in the Gymnasium
until II o'clock.
Though many of the out-of-town girls
had felt just a bit shaky over coming
to the academy because of the outbreak
of typhoid fever, they discarded their
fear of any contagion upon reinsurance
from physicians.
The Naval Academy string orchestra
furnished the music for dancing, which
continued until near midnight The
gowns worn by many of the visitors
were elegant and beautiful and in
many cases elaborate. The guests
were received - Mrs. Soule, wife of
Lieut.. Charles c. Soule, Jf., assisted
by Midshipman Frank E. P. Uberroth,
ofIllinois, the adjutant of the brigade
and one of the most popular midship-
man at the Naval Academy.

NAyY'S RELIABLE MAN
siidshipman Dalton Chief Forte OF Naval
Academy Football Team

Every football team generally has
one man upon whom it can rely for
substantial gain when needed, and
with the Navy aggregation that
man is Dalton. His chief forte is
his ability TO tear through the line
and struggle for a few yards. with
two or three men tugging at him, be-
fore he is finally downed.
In skirting the ends he is not as
fast in getting away as he might be
probably because of his great weight
$50 pounds. Also he is just bit
inclined to nervousness, but q great
thing for the team is his punting and
kicking field goals. Certain it is
that a summary of the games played
this season would show that Dalton
has scored large majority of Navy
points.
The figures given out show that
the Army team will average 176
pounds, which is a couple of pounds
more than the Navy, according to
their published weight. The Army
line also is slightly heavier but the
Army backs are lighter than the
Middies, being loo pounds average
against the Navy backs, who average

THAT CUTE LITTLE RODENT
The Blue Mouse Makes Great Hi Al The
Colonial Theatre-Nayy Team Hon.
0rs Little Mouse With Its Yell


Perhaps because women are proven
bially afraid of a mouse is the reason
that there was only handful of the
fair sex at the matinee yesterday at
the Colonial Theatre, but blue uni
forms and gold lace packed the house,
literally and iguratively.
1t was strictly a Midshipmen's mat
inee, and Navy day. and the Navy
felt at liberty to do as it pleased.
During one of the intermissions the
orchestra struck up Whats the
Matter With Father, ?" and it was
the key for the Navy song
"Get Right After the Army, Fight,
Fight. Fight.
Every man is behind you, you're
all right,
Fight to win from the Army Gray
Play the game that you can play
Well win today from the Army,
Rah. Rah. Rah. T"
1t was the same with Anchors
Aweigh, and Silver Bells" Indeed
it was a real rehearsal for Franklin
Field tomorrow. and everybody join
ed in the spirit.
But what of the "Blue Mouse, :"
who was given the honor of the
Navy yell, with Blue Mouse" three
times on the end The show was
geat 1t bore the Clyde Fitch stamp
from start to finish, and was far
cical comedy-pure and simple. barely
escaping farce by a hairs breadth.
Miss Gertrude Hitz, in the title
role, was the cutest little rodent
that ever crossed the Colonial Thea
tire stage. Without the - at the
end of her name, Gertrude was the
real thing.
| Every character was capably cast and
the comedy farce with a Fitchesque
finish, was scream from beginning
to end. 1t tells the story of Paulette
Divine, who is a Salome dancer,
known as THE Blue Mouse" and
who consents to act as the wife of
Rollett. secretary to the president of
the Inter. State Railroad. This he
does in order to have the bogus Mrs.
Rollett fiirt with his superior officer
and obtain from him his promotion
from clerkship to division super

The Irritation is we'll begun in the
first act, when the real Mrs. Rollett
is caught, by the president, in the
arms of his clerk. He mistakes her
for THE Blue Nous" so that when
the real Mrs. Rollett retu rms to the
Offices of the company few minutes
later-having fled in dismay-the
president, under the impression that
she is the dancer, flirts with her.
The scene is most amusing. In the
midst of it the presidents own wife
enters his private office and the COM
plications are doubled.
Three acts are required to unravel
the skeins of the tangled threads and
