LAUGH LIKE CHILDREN
Kitty Cheatham Makes Grown
Up Folk Forget Their Years.

Kitty Cheatham, with the setting OF a
grown-up audience, doesn't seem like the
real Kitty Cheatham-not at first When
one thinks of Miss Cheatham one thinks Of
rows upon rows of small boys and girls
who have been brought by their mothers
or governesses, as a great treat to hear
Miss Cheatham tell about the friendly
cow and 'the owl and the pussy cat"
and the boy whose mother made him prac-
tise the piano when he hated II, and that
unfortunate Matilda who told lies and was
burned to death
However, as Miss Cheatham has herself
pointed out, childhood isn't a matter Of
years really. but of the heart, and the
audience Of grown-ups who gathered yes
terday In the ballroom OF the Waldorf-As-
toria. at recital arranged by the King
Edward VII Chapter Of the Imperial Order
OF the Daughters OF the Empire for the
benefit of their proposed home for British
born aged men and women, hadn't listened
to more than half Of THE Plant of the
Little Bisque Doll' before they had for
gotten their grown-up-ed mess and the seri-
GUS object for which the entertainment was
held, and were laughing like children-per-
maps more than children would, for. when
children are enjoying themselves very
much they may be rather serious
Miss Cheatham's first number was lit
tie French song, Miss petit cpur Soupir,"
In which girl who is just arriving at the
age when her heart begins to hutter asks
her mother the meaning of those hutter-
ings.
Then came the tragedy of the little
bisque doll who had a pain I'm her sawdust.
and died from II, because the doctors. with
all their modern knowledge and command
OF the resources Of science, didn't know
bow to put her little insides back right
when they had taken them out.
Or course. there were some Robert Louis
stevenson child verses in the programme,
and 1t was In prefacing these that Miss
Cheatham explained how years and the
child quality have no real connection.
One or the sad things 10 her about the
life Of to-day, Miss Cheatham said was
the number Of children who were made un-
chIldlike Il like to think about little
friend Of mine whose mother told her that
God was in everything beautiful.
Then, mother the child cried, he Is in
