Armand Melnotte the Volunteer Pima
Donna Can Sing in Various Keys
Good Show at the Colonial

No headiner at the Colonial Theatre
recently has given more pleasure as
well as genuine surprise than Armand
Melnotte & CO., in their weekend
feature at the popular playhouse this
week.
Mr.. Melnotte is down on the bill as
the Volunteer Prima Donna. He
is made up as a woman and his cos
tuning is good, his makeup natural
and realistic. He is handsome and
fetching blond, and his voicei Well,
his voice is one Of the greatest sur
prises ever. He sings in a High c.,
and the next note he falls to a low
bass tone. He's a musical wonder,
and a very clever imitator. He is
really we'll worth hearing and his
feature alone is well worth the price
of admission.
Again last night the "Rube" violin
ist pleased a large audience at both
performances. He is from Tennes-
see and told The Capital he was raised
on farm. His father is a farmer,
said "Uncle JOSH" and my father
owns Gao acres in Tennessee, but !

he does on his farm.
"Superba" again pleased with her
beautiful poses, graceful dances and
striking electrical effects. Tonight
is the last night of this show Don't

Evening February Is.

1t isn't every young man, in these
leap year days, who has such "a
Close Call" as Harold Bentwell, in
the delightful little comedy of that

faire to wiggle out of an awkward
predicament so easily and gracefully.
But Harold does it, and he does it
to his everlasting credit. as we'll as
to the entire satisfaction Of "the
dashing little widow with her laugh
ing eyes Of brown, who helps him
along. You see, there happens to be
some half-dozen pretty girls mixed
up in the thing each Of whom seems
to have pretty good claim on him,
and they all come in together and
catch him red -handed and-but well,
you'll really have to see it if you want
to appreciate the keen humor Of the
thing. r
"a Close Call" is one of three short
plays to be given by the younger
smart set at the Colonial Theatre on
Thursday evening, February Is, I'M
der the auspices of the Just Govern
ment League. 1t will be followed by
Something to Vote For" and the pro-
gram will conclude with a side-split-
ting farce, How the Vote Was Won. "

Dear Sir--I was sorry 70 read in
your paper that at a recent SuffEege
meeting one of the speakers said she
had no use for civic leagues and such
organizations, or words to that
effect. She thought it would be bet
ter for women to sit down and fold
their hands until men gave them the
ballot.
/ should like to say that many of
Us sufragists do not feel that way
We feel that civic leagues and wo.

how to use it intelligently. / am
