make coffee from dandelion roots, but
there is no immediate danger that the
dandelion crop will be a failure owing
to the fact that a use has been found
for it.
The Ornithologists' union of New
York has undertaken to try to restore
the wild pigeon. Perhaps members of
the Ornithologists' union have nothing
while to do.
1t is an interesting and noteworthy
fact that since the PRONUNCIATION of the
law Of June, 1907, the effect of which
is to simplify the formalities which are
the necessary preliminaries to mar
rage, there have been more weddings
in France than at any period since the
beginning Of the last century, with the
exception of the year 1913 and 1872,
in the former Of which men contracted
unions to escape being sent off to

layed by the war with Germany.

"The American Idea"
 Decidedly Cohanesque

Trixie Friganza, whose cleverness has completely captured the theater- goers in all the large cities and es- recially New York City, made her first visit to the Elks Theater last night in George Cohans Parisian- American Musical Frivolity. as the program says it, The American Idea 1t being Miss. Friganza first ap- pearance in Pine Bluff, naturally q large audience greeted her. To begin with Miss FriganZa is worth her weight in gold as a comedienne and you take it from me, she weighs some. In fact her size aids materially to make the show "go'' and she is evi- dentily not the least sensitive about her averdupois. Notwithstanding her excess baggage the clever woman has a we'll rounded figure and is an l unusually handsome type of an Ameri- can beauty
 The American Idea is decidedly Cohanesque. It is noisy, musical. full
 of stage action and originality is featured throughout The stage set tlngs are in keeping with the usual Conan productions and the scenic ef- fects impressive. It is doubtful, how ever, if The American Idea" would enjoy life without Trixie Friganza and Arthur Lipson, an admirable character actor who shares equal honors with the star in the cast. His lmpersonation of the bogus French Count Pierre de Souchet, was the best work of it's kind ever seen here. George Cohan's ideas were familiar in every act and there is nothing lack ing to make the show pleasing to ad 1nirers of the Cohan style of musical comedy. But Conan has offered the American public many shows far more pleasing from a musical standpoint than "The American Idea. There are no songs to rave about in last nights performance. There were none that the gallery gods'' might have whistled as they left the theater. But the Cohan action is there and lively show is always pleasing to even the most critical admirer of musical con- edy.
 Miss Friganza is screamingly fun ny, and she has been surrounded by a company of most capable laugh pro- ducers. Among them are Raymond Finley, whose Stephen Hustleford, he with faculty for grating, was ex- ceptionally we'll done. The dancing of Edith Ross and Lola Hilton, to. eether with that of John Girard was feature. "The American Idea" is good W'ss Frieanza and Arthur I'pson make it so. They will con- time to make it nonn,ar in tho ;ortS -h"rn Mice r-ioanza is mak- in" her fret tour .thie season. The far .'ohtedrnee of Georee Cohan is shown in t'o cc'nrtion of these two talented Nrfnc'pals.
