KOLB AND DILL IN
FINE BURLES0UE
Travesty on "The Music Mas
ter" at the Princess

Kolb and Dilrs latest offering, bur
lesque on The Music Master" has
caught on at the Princess theater In
this travesty on Charles Klein's great
play Joseph Herbert has caught the
spirit Of the original drama with re-
markable keenness. His sense of trav-
osty is not cheap nor obvious; he is a
real satirist, and many of his lines
scintillate with wit.
kolb S the music master, garbed in
Warfeldian fashion and topped by the
correct Won Barwig wig, is in the best
role of his career. His fun making is
irresistible and his stimulation of War
fields msnnerisms is a perfect charac-
terization and broadly humorous. Dill
is again in skirts, and as Mrs. Hoistem.
the boarding house keeper, he is a
scream. His song, Little Houston
Street" is one Of the big hits of the
performance.
aiggledy Piggledy" remains the
curtain raiser Of the performance at
the Princess and retains it's earned
popularity Both OF the halves OF the
bill are dressed elaborately and sta ged
with careful attention to detail.

RURAL PLAY IS A
R[STFUL COMEDY
Max Figman's representation in
MARY James Pa" Is a
Theatrical Hit

Max Ffgman begins the second and
last week of his prosperous engage
ment in Mary James Pa" at the Savoy
theater with the usual Sunday matinee
today. This play. and player are the
talk of the town. They came without
any blasts of trumpets and more than
delivered the goods and San Francisco
has responded in good old fashioned
style. Everything about Figman and
Mary Jane's Pa" is in the nature of a
surprise No one thought that the
comedian had so many sides to his art
and could move to tears or impress
with true dramatic force with such ease
as he does. In this he shows his quail
ty and deserves the reputation he holds
for versatility.
Mary James Pa" as a play is a de-
lightful rest. There are no sex, public
or moral questions discussed. 1t is
simply a chapter from life transferred
from an Indiana country village to the
stage with truth and sincerity. There
is a love story and a plot. of course, but
they run along the channels of good
humor and amuse as much as they en-
tertain.
Perhaps the most inviting aspect of
the engagement is the general excel
lence of the company. They were all
evidently chosen for their fitness to
their roles and there isn't one disap-
polntment. They are not all stars, of
course, but in their respective char
acters they deserve to be so called.
The attention to detail in the produc-
tion deserves all the praise that has
been accorded and any dramatic critic
can recommend this entertainment to
his readers in honesty and sincerity.
The usual Thursday and Saturday mat
1nees Will be given and the last per-
formance occurs next Saturday night.

AS A COMfDlfNNE
SHE IS CHARMING
Marie CahilI Captures the City
in Her Music Play, "The
Boys and Betty"

Marie CahilPs hit in San Francisco
has been instantaneous and pronounced.
She has captured the city. AS Betty
in "The Boys and Betty" at the new CO.
lumbia she has a role that for coquetry,
ingenuousness and comedy could not be
bettered To say that the little come
dienne makes good in the part is to
state the facts very mildly She is a
scream. Every glance, every gesture
and every movement on the stage is
keyed in just the proper spirit and
her songs are whistling delights.
One of Marie CahilPs principal
charms comes from her engaging con-
fidences with her auditors. She is like
Dan Daily in her kidding propensi-
ties. She addresses you personally:
takes you into her confidence and
makes you love her.
The scenery, costumery, stage eff
fects, properties and accessories of
the musical play, THE Boys and Betty
could scarcely be improved upon. There
is nothing tawdry in sight, nor any
thing cheap or soiled The lines of the
Hobart book scintillate with wit, and
Silvio Helms music sparkles. THE
Arab Love Song It's the Doctor,
BILL and 'Whoop La La" are three
OF the big lyric successes, though there
are many others equally interesting
and catchy
Individual hits are scored by several
of the members of the cast; notably by
Ann Mooney, w. G. Stewart, Sam B.
Hardy, Wallace McCutcheon Jr. and
James B. Carson. the latter being par
tlcularly good in his German role.
Robert Mantells dramatic revival of
classic drama will be ushered on the
stage of the new Columbia at the close
OF the present management of Marie

OF LEGAL
PRACTICE IS SHOWN

The Polk County Record in its last
issue had one of the very best articles
we have seen from any source upon
that question of paramount Importance,
growing more insistent every day the
failure in the administration of criminal
law and the urgent need of remedial
legislation to make it effective. We
regret that we have only space for a
part of the Records article in this
issue, for every line of it is well worth
perusal and in it's entirety 1t is valu-
able contribution to the literature OF
the most vital issue in this country to.
day. No man can deny the truth and
force of the following from the Record
Speaking from the standpoint OF
the laymen, it seems to us that the adj
minstration of our laws is about two
hundred years behind the age. The
machinery of law seems so complicated
that no results can be had from its
operation. While science of surgery,
medicine, mechanics and electrical en-.
gineering is going forward by leaps and
by bounds, looking steadily forward IN
development and achievement, the
science of the law looks back to pre-.
cedents hoary with age for its guidance.
When a young man enters upon the
study of the law he is imbued with a
service reverence for Authority that
thenceforce eliminates any original
thought on his part. His skill consists
in evoking the cumbersome machinery
of his profession that has decended to
US from the days Of the cross bow, to
either retard or advance the operation
of law, according to the interests OF his

GOVERNOR HOkE SMITH
IS FULLY EXONfRATED

The Atlanta Georgian Saturday after
noon devoted its entire front page to a
discussion of the charges recently made
against Governor Hoke Smith IN
Thomas E. Watson's Jeffersonian. Mr..
Watson, it says, had charged various
and sundrv immoralities to Mr.. Smith
and the Georgian prints letter from
MIR. Watson in which he asked that pa.
per to take up the matter with him and
ioin him lin the fight that | am making
against Hoke Smith"
Without going into the details OF the
charges made by Mr.. Watson, the Geor.
gian takes up each specific Case and
States that it has given eaeh thorough
investigation, going directly to the par,
ties Mr.. Watson names as witnesses and
in MANY instances doing detective work,
and its conclusion after summing up all
the aspects of the case may be found
in the following paragraphs quoted
.It is unbelievable that Mr.. Watson
could have made so grave charges with
out tangible evidence and solely upon
heresay, but such seems the case.
''The Georgian is compelled to say,
however, that not the first suggestion
of foundation in fact has been obtained
and that, after the employment of the
best talent, detective, legal and other
wise. even giving his political enemies
every opportunity TO supply facts or
evidence, we must say unequivOcally. IN
the interests of a square deal, that
Hoke Smith is as innocent of miscon'
duct, moral or otherwise, as any man il
Georgia, at least, since the years of his
public life, and we doubt if there IS one
interested beyond that at this time"
