E. H. DILLON & co.

Miss Elizabeth Steinmetz, the hit of Spepry's ''The Girl From Stratford'' and others of his annual plays, receiv- ed round of applause following her singing Of Love Me Just a Little Bit' She was obliged to answer to a num- Der of encores. Following Miss Stein metz came Miss Benham. the Milford girl, with her college song. She was hit, singing two verses and seven encores. They wanted more. but Miss Benham was all out of breath, and smilingly thanked her approval Then came the other hit of the evening in Miss Emma Feriedman's new song. It goes like this:
 Take me to the North Pole, dearie, To the land of tce
 We'll have little house of snow, To do our work. an Eskimo.
 And even. if we start to freeze
 We can squeeze, and squeeze and
 squeeze.
 Take me to the North Pole, dearie. On our honeymoon
 Miss Friedman has we'll trained voice and used it to perfection. At the finish she had the audience singing the chorus with her.
 Miss Lenora Heffernan appeared as a poor forelorn miss of 30 years or more. She was a pretty picture, in her tan stockings, her plaid dress, a black coat, and a hat of the turban shape, but with lengthy feather, that had gone through a starch factory. Miss Heffernan's monologue was good. but her song, Poor Old GirI' was even better. Her real hit was made when she supposedly forget her lines at the end of the second verse. Then she had to submit to a tongue lash ing from the stage director, who hap pened to be Lester Burdick. Miss Heffernan appealed to the music mas far Mr. lxl lo,t n.,f ho 1nr the Get The Hook" sign. It was a. novel little sketch and went well. Then followed Miss Elizabeth Shea, who has a voice of the Eddie Leonard y.e, that with the drawn out words, My Southern Rose" was well fitted for her voice, which is excellent, and worthy of cultivation. Following Miss Shea, Miss Helen Raycroft entertained with a series of clever soft shoe dancing Specialties.
 Miss Elizabeth steinmetz led in the grand finale, 'I Have No Other Sweet heart but the Old Red, White and Blue.'' At the end a large American the young ladies, adding another en- blem to- the already large number of American flags with which the stage was decorated. The many bouquets of flowers, which the soloists received for all were remembered also added to the beauty or the stage SeCllnS. In the center of the platform was a huge basket from the A. B. c. club. whose members assisted the young la dies in their work, both during the performance and at the dancing fol- lowing.
