In her second play Miss Clarke will deal
with similar phases of life nearer to the

with which 1.-THE White Squaw' has met
has encouraged Miss Clarke to write this
second play, believing as she does that
characters developed from those in the

a new and thoroughly American drama.

a charming individuality. She should

"The Time, the Place and the Girl"

z63 consecutive nights in Chicago this
piece was received with such unequivocai
approval by the theatergoers Of that
city that 1t 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
aseribed by the management to the fact
2 that the authors struck a new idea in
kmusical plays and developed it with un-
usual skill. 1t is a 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

Those who have seen 1.-The Time, the

Most plays of this sort have one or two

1t is to musical comedy what Uncle

In criticising this play recently, the

to him is due much of the credit of the
success of the play when presented lass

important lines can not be denied.
But the contraction consists mainly

parts OF Russia. In tho Don country.
and also in Moscow and vicinity. II
Is known by a name which is equiya-
lent to "the bent water-pipe." In
nearly all Slavonic dialects II is
known by terms signifying the cloud

pump" "Noahs pump" and Gods
pump" The Malayan natives call II
by the same name that they do their
handed water cobra, only that they
add "boba" (meaning double headed),
the equivalent In our language being
"the double-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow is a real
thing OF life. that It drinks with Its
two mouths. and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening In the upper side OF the cen
