CLUB NOTES

The regular club meetings having been omitted during the holidays the members of the WOman's club con- centrated their efforts in making the Christmas festival a notable event II was distinctly a party for the child
 ren and the future club men and women gathered in the gayly decOrat- cd club house promptly at the ap
 pointed hour. e-thirty o'clock It was a pretty scene with it's wealth of ivy and holly Wreaths and viva cious young folk who listened enthus- astiCally to delightful musical pro-
 gram given under the direction of Mrs Arthur Gibbons Hulett, chairman of the music department. The fea
 ture of the occasion was the appear ance of Mrs Santa Claus. who in green velvet and silver, made a charming picture as she dispensed gifts to the appreciative youngsters. Miss Florence Bartlett, who so de- lightfully impersOnated the beloved character, also proved a fascinating story teller graphically describing "The Garden of Toys" Miss Ballard told of Little 1913" and What Made the Chimes Ring" and Miss Mabel Novinger gave several solo dances.

PICTURE IN THE METAPHOR

He shot down the stairs like a flying squirrel" says recent story
 This is the kind of metaphor that Professor Barrett Wendell. who has written a very good book on English composition, would condemn. A fly ing squirrel does not shoot down the stairs. The purpose was to give one vivid idea of how the man looked when he was falling
 But as no one ever saw a flying squirrel falling down stairs and as few have seen a flying squirrel in any other enforced or voluntary eX- ercise the figure did not help.
 Now if one wishes to describe a flying squirrel and should say that it looked like a person falling down stairs. the description might not be accurate. but the literary style would be good For many persons have seen a child fall down stairs.
 Admittedly. the simie like a fly ing squirrel" has bizarre, "up-and at-'em" manner that is rather taking in modern story writing. Yet it's use affords a good example of how not to do it''-Kansas City Star.

 The City" belongs to that class of plays better left unprOduCed. It serves no good purpose, teaches no moral lesson and fails either to ele vate of amuse. Those of us who knew Clyde Fitch believe that if he had lived it would never have been produced or if it had would have been a vastly different affair. As "a good resolution breaker it was about the greatest success that could have been given on New Years Day.

 Peg o' My Heart and Laurette ! Taylor have vindicated the judgment of Los Angeles.

 It is hard to believe that the same great mind that conceived Beau Brunmer' and The Climbers was responsible for that nightmare-and thev advertise it as his greates- play" Poor Clyde Fitch! What would "The City, have been had he lived to finish it and produce it himself. Nobody knows but It is reasonably certain that it would not have been brought to the saaCtimO- nious snivelling finish il has now.

No wonder his name has never been published. The Rand family and it's branches, as disclosed in The City are cer- tainly a pretty set. liars, thieves, hN DC critics, degenerates, drunllards and fools. and on this foundation the play is written.

How ever, it is a long way from Broad way to Phoenix and the company that presented the play here was just as far from BrOadWay's standard The one clean and wholesome char acter in the whole miserable aggrega- ton that of the young sister, was so miserably mis-cast, so poorly played. that one almost welcomed her murder As We said before, the New York production was notable chiefly for the marvellous portrayal of ihe dope fiend by Fully Marshall, one Ot the greatest pieces of character wOrH ever presented on the American stage There this part. horrible though it is dominated the whole play-in fact it was the play.

cOlOrdtlna soprano, who sand the role Of Marguerite de NalOiS. There has been no real cOlOratina soprano at the Metropolitan since Sembrich and great things had been hoped of Mme Hempel, but the lady has failed to please. She is evidently an artist of large resources and accomplishments in vocal art, but her voice, as dis played on her first appearance, was great disappointment True she came after a long illness, but the voice lacked brilliancy; it supper tones sounded Veiled;" it had not the elements of appealing beauty" :" Tit was not the voice of a great singer in the plentitude of her pow ers;" etc. The production scenicaUy called for unstinted praise as is the case in all of Gatti- CazaZa'S produc- tiOns; but the critics as one man re- sent its being sung in Italian instead of French, breaking the rule of the CIera house that ali operas be sung in the language in which they were written. They bemOan the fact that there was no DeResZke, no Nordica no Sembrich, no PlancOn, nor anyone nearly equal to them to sing the famous roles and altogether it seems to have been rather a sad affair.

If only some day Miss Adams would take a trip to Phoenix and let us see this Peter just once; but if she did we should never. never NEVER let her go away again, SC perhaps after all it is better for hei that she stays away.

Take the famous Rosenthal murder case, for instance, with the subse- Quent trial and conviction of Police Lieutenant Becker.
