And there isn't a song or chorus
girl--not one. The young Mr.. Cohan
has put them away as the toys of his
immaturity. He now employs only the
tools of adult dramaturgy, using them
in way so entirely his own that the
Cohan trade mark has at last begun to
mean an article of real merit.
1t has its consummate expression in
one little line of broadway Jones'"
The ingenue of the village of Jones'
vile says to Bob Walloce, a Broadway
type: You shouldn't spend so much
money. MIR. Jones has been telling me
that once you spent s25 in a single
night" And Wallace, the man who
knows the head waiter in every up

about THAT NIGHT?"
He Will create a situation to get
over one lone line that appeals to
him and lend it plausbiity. If there
are any wheels at all in his construc-

so fast that you never hear EN-.

NEW RECORDS

1t turns out that Charles Frohman's
famous triple bill in London--When
plays by Shaw, Pinero and Barrie
were done on the same highland out
of which at least came one superb
work, Barries "Rosalind"-had the
value of writing a new chapter in the
history of the modern English stage A
rare record was made that night 1t
was the first time in the history of
the stage that three one-act plays by
famous playWrights had their pre-
mieres at the same theatre on the same
ri"ht; ord it was the first time that
three different companies had ever
bees engaged to interpret them. Each
cast was as different as the style en-
ployed by the three authors: and each
player of stellar rank. Nor was the
outcome at all bad. Once an interview
er asked Charles Frohman what he
considered good average of success
for a first-class theatrical manager
and Mr.. Frohman answered: six
times out of ten; seven is very high"
But II his triple bill experiment Mr.
Frohman scored one in three-in itself

TO PERFUME LINGERIE,

The small articles that are washed
at home may be most daintily per-
fumed if a small piece of orris root
is added to the water they are boiled
in. 1t may seem an undertaking to
boil these, but if the handkerchiefs
are placed in an enamelled saucepan
sufficiently large to hold them and the
water necessary, they can be. boiled
quite well over a spirit lamp or paraf-
fine stove. They nee donly be boiled
about ten minutes. If, however, the
articles are tinted, boil a small piece
of orris root in the water and use it
for rinsing the blouses, handkerchiefs,
etc. When dry they will be found
daintily perfumed with a faint odor
of violets.
