It might also with propriety be men
toned that Mr.. Waddell added not a
little to the success of the occasion by
the impromptu invention of a most
fetching step. 1t is designed to be
used in the transformation of ones

ty feature of 1t is it's simplicity. Just
take about three hops. a couple of
skips, none or eleven jumps. then sill

the enhancing. :
Others Were There, Too.
But it must not be supposed that
Nh. Waddell was all there was to be
seen at the ball. Now there was Lou
Franks, who is president of the club;
Augie Bots, Jake Metz, Able Eisner,
Dan Sweeney (now here was one you

give a list would be nothing but re-
printing a directory Of Newark's the
atrical colony.
But. as II has been mentioned, It was
at midnight hat the climax Of the

Leoni, of mighty frame, can sing, and
makes a real actress of herself in the
way she adapts herself to the part al
lotted her.
The olio is especially strong. every
number being a top-notch act. Frank
Harcourt, with his twelve bellies. is
very entertaining and elicits much APP
plause for an original act. Miss Mollie
Williams, always welcome, has some
thing new for us this season. lie
Danse L'Enticement" Is the name given

and Frank Tanning. Special scenery
and special lighting effects are carried
for this act. Miss williams does very
well n shows what a versatile actress
she really is. Williams and Brooks are
funny. The PHoscoff1s Family of aero
bats need no introduction. The show
closes with a "brainstorm of burlesque
comedy" entitled "Daffydills." 1t is
very good.

has been the heroine of more than n
theatrical offering, but has she
appeared to better advantage than as
presented by Mary Boland in Smith"
Miss Boland has invested Smith with
the u~nusual-in theatrical circles
charm of common sense. The world to
Smith" is an excellent place, and she
looks out upon 1t with a philosophical
placidity that finds expression in the
quaint opinions that first attract the
sense of humor and then win the heart
of the brother of Smiths mistress, who
has come back from a long stay On a
farm In Rhodesia, filed to overlooking
with Ideals anent sincerity and simple,
honest modes OF living
Thomas freeman LIohn Drew, who
owns a farm in Rhodesia, returns To
London to visit his s'sser, Mrs. Dallas
Baker, and to md "a wife. He finds his
sister and her set q tagged in the pui =
suit Of shallow, selfish pleasures, thi't1-
ing solely of themselves and of ways to
make time fly. His sister has no chill
dren, nor does she want any; n of
her friends, Mrs. Rosenberg, has a
baby which she seldom sees; another
friend, to whom he was engaged in his
younger days, is living on h bounty
of her dressmakers, with the idea of re-
paying them when she makes a good
match, There is also another person
who is the final straw in Freeman's
great load of disillusions. He is Alger-
non Peppercorn. tame cat" by profess
sion, whose business is to make life
agreeable for Mrs. Dallas-Baker, in re-
turn for luncheon invitations, opera
tickets and motor trips.
Emily Chapman, the girl to whom
Freeman was engaged, lays a trap for
him, into which he CALAMITY thrusts his
head, asking her again to marry him.
Next day, after hearing of his ideals
and his hopes, and Influenced more OF
less by the thought Of ending her days
on a lonely farm, she releases him.
His sisters utter selfishness is re-
veaIed when she hides from Mrs.
Rosenberg the fact that her baby is
dangerously i'll, so that her bridge
party may not be spoiled. Even the
babyls death finds her Indifferent. I'm
consciously, in the beginning, n then
deliberately, Freeman turns to the de-
mure, capable Smith, finding comfort
in her simplicity and innate honesty.
Jestingly he asks her to marry him
and is refused with a straightforward
dignity that serves but to send his in
clination Smithward in deadly earnest
Ten days later he asks her again ano
she accepts. And so, leaving hypocriti-
cal folks behind 'en0. they go off, we
suppose, to Rhodesia, to live happy
ever after.
The seems between Mr.. Drew and
Miss Boland are enacted on both sides
with spirit. Miss Boland's characteri-
zation of the serious-minded Smith
who has high ideas as to her calling,
having beer trained by no less a per
sonage than a real butler in a bis
house, is one Of the best things she
has ever accomplished. Hassard Short
plays the despicable Algernon with
clear insight rs to that young mans
mental limitations. and Isabel Irving is
effectively disagreeable as Mrs. Dallas

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embrolderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fiance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding call.
She did so anr in few moments
| fire engines came from several dlTeC
tions, all laden with firemen, of course
but alas! her fiance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken tc
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothl.

in spite of her tears and protests tha
she thought it would be simple Wa.

Vivid at Least.

DR.. Hiram c. Cortlandt, the well
known theologian of Des Moines, said
in a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte Is elec-
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irrestst-
iblv of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive is made.
You pour she said, a lot of sand
into q lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into a hole in the sand, and everybody
wells and swears. Then you pour it
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put it in thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw 1t to
gether, and paint it, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to drafting room and make
a bluep rint of it. But one thing | for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside
and they pound frightfully; and thel
they tie it to the other thing, and yo'
ought to see 1t go!'"
