Augustus Thomas, the author of
THE Harvest Moon," and THE
Witching Hour" has temporarily Civ
en- up playwriting to join in New
England the Frohman Company that
is now on tour in "The Harvest
Moon" 1t is said that Mr.. Thomas
has in mind a scheme of unusual or
ginality for the future of this same
company in different Augustus
Thomas dramas. The playwright Is
to travel with the company for sever
al weeks, at the end of which he Is
expected to give out the details of his
new travelling dramatic stock COM

have comedy. In "The Dollar Prin-
cess" there is not only music, but
comedy also. The idea is really funny
and it is well worked out. p" And
what few people appreciate is that
the. little touch of straight acting in
the last act when the Dollar Prin-
cess shows real feeling and real sem
timent helghtens the comedy effects
by its contrast. If you will use your
memory you will recall that the
same note was struck, though in a
different way, by Erminie's lullaby
i'm "Erminie," by the song i'm "The
Geisha" of The Dear Old Days.
All noise ana drums and hurry with
no contrast of melody and sentiment
grows tiresome. A great big success
cannot come this way. But there is
third element also in the success of
THE Dollar Princess which is es-
sential to every good musical comedy
and that is the wonderful production
which Mr.. Frohman has made of it.
Musical comedy must have an ap-
peal TO the eye There must be
beautiful scenes and costumes, Won
derful tabeauX and stage pictures.
All this Mr.. F'rohman has provided
together with beautiful chorus as
background for his principals. Furth-
ermore in musical comedy there are
no actor proof parts.

Walter was personally attractive, al
though he was inclined to burlesque
the part at times, an attitude that
detracted somewhat from its con-
viction. With a part utterly impossi-
BILE anywhere except in fiction, he
does exceedingly we'll considering the
fact that any true ring in the lines
and situations must be the result of
Mr.. Walters work entirely. His mas
querade as the coachman OF the girl
he loves is lightly amusing though al
ways palpably improbable.
Miss Louise Langdon delivered her
lines pleasantly and with excellent
enunciation and accent. Her coh.
stant repetition of words and phrases
meaningless in themselves made her

best In its line seen in many moons Of
vaudeville being the sort that makes

STREET PAVING IN LONDON
Cost and Life of Wooden Blocks in
Pouulous Districts Described.

In answer to an inquiry regarding wood
street paving in London, Consul General
John L. Griff1ths. OF the British capital,
writes:
I'm the borough Of Hampstead there are
now about nine miles of wood paved
streets, those sustaining the heaviest traffic
being paved with Australian hardwood sec
tional block, which. including concrete
foundation. costs about s. 40 per superficial
yard On roads where traffic is not so
heavy creosoted Baltic timber blocks are
used the cost Of concrete foundation being
about 81 IS yard. The average life of the
wood paving in Hampstead is about ten
years, and the borough engineer states IL
has given general satisfaction, as the read
gradients in that section vary considerably
and wood paving gives excellent foothold
for horses on gradients up to in 20.
