matter Of fundamental nature, not of

Casting aside the ethics and even

appeal along melodramatic lines of a
high sort indeed to ones uncontrol-
liable sympathy at the spectacle of a
mother wailing for her child-no mat

1t has been said by some wise head in
pssohe days that wickedness is power
less 10 excite hearty laughter. If that
De true. then THE Girl in the Taxi as
she appeared at the Columbia Theater
last evening. with all Of her accompa-
niments. certainly cannot be wicked, for
the audience laughed itself into an en-
Joyable humor early in the evening.
No one can deny that the production
bears the earmarks of having been very
naughty at some stage of its existence,
and 1t must be confessed that it does not
set very good example for model son,
manly nephew. because it makes all three
spend an evening in haunts which gener-
ally fall under social suspicion. Beyond this
II one can overlook it, there is less in
than in numerous farcical productions
Wh1ch have passed unchallenged. The
play is a succession of laughable situa-
lions and funny sayings, one or two a bit
suggestive.
The players are all good farceurs and
none attempts to take advantage of OPP
portunity to cater deliberately to prurient
interest. The Girl in the Taxi belongs
to school which cannot be applied to by
the seeker for scholarships in propriety.
The French and German farce writer's
frankly depend on a leaven of naughti-
ness Tor the success of their work.
The play has been seen here before and
hundreds have laughed at it, just as
hundreds more doubtless will laugh at it
this week. and probably beyond the
laughter none of its incidents will be re-
membered afterward or contribute ma
terial1y to the undoing of any one who
really aspires to a correct moral code.
