PROFESSOR NAPOLEON
CHORUS is INCREASED

With the Buster Brown and Mary
Jane chorus increased to "a couples and
the addition of totally new group of
dancers into the bargain, Professor
Napoleon's" dream promises to be of
even more genuine Sinterest socially
than was originally planned. 1t is al
ready in splendid working order.
Yesterday afternoon at Maple hall all
of those scheduled to appear on the
stage during the first act were present
and the scenes went forward easily and
well. Joseph Rosborough and Arthur
Morgenstein with their leading parts
helping to get the pleasing drama into
action.
Some of the odd situations are de-
lightfully comical and will cause many
laughs in between the catchy airs and
charming songs. And with the ap-
preaching dress fehearsals at the
Valencia theater, with the necessary
color, light and atmosphere effects, it
promises to be one of the best amateur
productions ever put forth by local tai
ent and will surely hold its own with
any charity performance in the United
States.

Remarkable Violin Test.

An ingenious test Of old and new vio-
Inns. In which an instrument OF mod
ern make was voted the finest. has
been made in Paris. During the per-
Torrance both critics and performers
were in complete darkness, so that 1t
was impossible to see which one OF the
seven viollns selected for the test was
being played. Then Immediately after
being used the instrument was placed
under a cloth, and the lights were
turned on for a few moments to en-
able the critics to write down the
votes. All the violins were played by
two musicians Of high standing, and
the compositions were written especl-
ally for the test. The two yiollnists
tried to bring out the best in each
violin, and the result, decided by the
votes. was interesting. The modern
make Of violin led the list with 1O2
votes. and its nearest rival for favor
was q stradivarius with 90 votes.
Other old and famous makes of violins
received SO, IS, So, SO and S0.-London

Sensitive to Art.

Said the art gallery guide, "Just
watch the crowd awhile and see which
of their antics impresses you most"
Presently the visitor said. Il think
it is the queer attitudes so many OF
them strike"
Exactly" said the guide. They
are initiating the poses Of the figures
in the portraits. Anybody who sits
for a portrait is supposed to strike
graceful attitude. All these people
who have never been painted realize
the grace there is in the poise of the
head, the turn of the wrist. the slope
Of the shoulders. They wish they
could look like that. and unconscious
" they try it. The men are as bad
as the women. They straighten up;
they droop; they tilt their heads; they
arrange their hands and feet In imi-
tation of the figures they admire most.
Sometimes their attempts are very
clever; again they are simply ridicu-
lous."-New York Times.
