One OF the most amusing musical
shows ~ last season, He Came From
Milwaukee," with Sam Bernard az the
leading fun maker, Is again In the
Garrick theater. opening the regular
fall season In that pretty playhouse,
Monday evening.
The show has lost none OF its bright
ness and color during Its summers
rest, and begins the season as green
and freshly dressed as good musical
aiad aould be- The color scheme was
always rich and riotous In tint. the
costumes glittering, and the move
ment OF chorus and Principals swift,
arr all concerned In its production
must be given credit for keeping up
the standard set In these things In the
first days of its life.
cir. Bernard ties his tongue into az
many knots as ever be did, and the
audience has the same good time
shrieking itself into spasms at his
efforts to untangle himself from the
s'langwidge" No one ever seem TO
tire OF Sam Bernard and his ridiculous
gibberish, and the more absurd his
coinage of words the greater the de-
light Of the listener. In he Came
From Milwaukee" written especially
for this comedian, the many cooks
who had a hand In the broth, stirred
industriously to provide every chance
for Mr.. Bernard to get over" his pecu-
liar brand of comedy. There Is moth
In: refined about the Bernard comedy.
and yet there Is not another comedian
on tho stage doing the sort OF work
that Mr.. Bernard has set the pace for,
who so rarely transgresses the thin
line between buffoonery and vulgarity.
The Bernard fun-making and the Ber-
nard shows are usually innocuous II
they are not high-browish, and that's
more than be said Of most musical
comedy hodge-podges.
When here last spring He Came
From Milwaukee" closed the season
last year, in the Garrich. MT. Bernard
had q company of exceptional clever
ness, with a quartet OF young people,

Washington. D. c.. December a.
Congressman Slemp, of Virginia, be-
lieves that the presidential primary
plan Will win eventually, though It
may be some time off. Regarding the
presidential primary for the nomina-
ton OF candidates for the presidency"
Mr.. Slemp said to-day, ut seems to
me that the movement in this direction
Just begun will ultimately win. 1t is n
part of the more general and broader
movement to transfer our government
from representative form to popu-
lar form. 1t Will take time, OF course,
to work 1t out. and 1t can only be
adopted when the safeguards are
thrown around such primary legisla-
tive enactment that VIII secure through
them an honest expression OF the
wishes OF the voters. AT the present
time II Is impracticable to secure this
in the South, but In my Judgment the
movement Will ultimately win under
present conditions, there Being no
safeguards thrown around the oper-
alton OF the primaries by law. I
should prefer staying with the con-
vention system and selecting our dole
gates in that way"
