GYPSY LOVE-

Phyllis Partington, who plays this
part of Zorika, the prima donna role
in A. II. Woods massive production
of the Franz Lehar comic opera,
"Gypsy Love-" that will be seen at
the Harnois, March 20 is an Amerl-
can and is proud of it. Miss port
ington is a Californian and is entirely
different from the imported prima
donnas who have Of late worried their
managers to such an extent that it is
killing the star system. Mr. Woods,
like Mr.. Beasco, will have as few
stars as possible after this season.
The sensational hit of within the
Law" at his Forty second street thea
ter proves that "the play is the
thing" and that star will not draw
any money if the play is bad. Miss
Partington has the distinction of play
ing at every performance of Gypsy
Love-" and the wall paper and car
pets in her dressing room never worry
her: she has no personal represena-
tive, and does not care for dogs. She
loves the part of Zorika and appre-
ciates the opportunity Manager Woods
gave her to appear in what she con-
siders one of the best parts ever
written for a prima donna. Miss
Partington is not in the least theat-
rical person; she is just an aWful'y
pretty, brown-haired, brown-eyed girl
with a frank engaging expression,
most unassuming, and SO unaffectedly
glad and enthusiastic that you would
have to be a very grumpy, bad-tem-
pered mortal not to find yourself
cheering up when you are with her.

REJUVENATING THE HEIRLOOM.

In this season when embroideries
are at the pinnacle of fashions favor,
many women are ranSacking old
trunks and boxes in search of scraps
of handsome machine embroidery,
once ripped out of discarded garments
and tucked away for some possible
future use. Such embroideries may
be combined with lace in motif effects
or in landings set between lace and
entire deux, for the new sunrnery
blouses and frocks are airy and deli
cate in design. YelloWed embroideries
and laces may be made white as snow
without the use of chemicals. All that
is necessary is to immerse them in
warm, soapy water and leave them
standing, thus immersed in a strong
sunlight for several hours. They
should then be removed, rinsed, soaped
again and spread out on a flat sur
face for further summing. The
kindly sun will bleach them a snowy
white in a very short time.

PATRIOTIC PLAYS

The Pail Mall Gazette deduceS a very
interesting fact from the success
achieved by "The Spy" in London and
in New York. "1'he play says the Ca
zette. lis a kind of triumph call, an
appeal to national martial spirit 1t is
remarka BILE that our English dramatists
who are so fond of talking about the
Theatre of Ideals, should apparently BE-
ignorant of the fact that patriotism is
one of the two or three most enthral-
ing ideas in the world Masefie,d
Barrie. Pinero, Baker, Davies. Jones,
Maug gham-none of these has ever
given US a play on this theme; while
if Shaw has touched on it now and
then 1T has only been to make a mock
of it. One British dramatist, it is true,
has had the wit to tackle it. Major du
Maurier, in his Englishman's Home;'
but he appealed to the public nervous
ness rather than to it's pride, and the
patriotism in Duke is good of its kind,
but intermittent and often indirect.
The one solitary instance of a contem-
porary British play seeking delber-
ately at once to express and to fan ma
tonal pride is Mr.. w. B. Yeates'
Kathleen nj Houlihan,' and that is the
work of an Irishman and is only ad-
dressed to the Irish" But what the
Pall Mall Gazette does not know and
cannot realize, as far as an American
play of patriotism is concerned. is that
no two people in the United States can
agree as to just what is meant by
an American; in fact, it is a big ques-
ton whether there is any such animal
in captivity. There are New Workers,
Bostonians, Westerners and Southern
ers-but in all America where is the
American?

FOR EFFICIENT RESERVES
Captain Marshal In Lecture Tells OF
Plans For Slate Naval Militia.

Plans by which it is hoped 20 place
the Naval Militia of the different
states on basis of efficiency such as
will render them available for imme-
date call to service in the regular
navy of the United States in the event
OF a conflict, We're discussed before
the naval officers on duty at the Ma
val Academy Monday night in a lee
ture delivered by Capt Charles c.
Marshal, of the Navy.
Captain Marshal, after referring to
the historic epochs in connection with
the Naval Reserves in a general way,
said that it was the desire Of the
Navy Department to so increase the
efficiency and membership of the
naval militia generally, that it's mem
bers could step right in upon call or
regular service, and thus save the
time that would be required by exam
nations, etc.
With this accomplished, he said that
fleet could be assembled under hurry
orders in the event Of a war, and
there would be none to the conse-
quent delay in its sailing Captain
Marshall said that circulars are now
being sent to ex-navy meu throughout
the country or the purpose of ascer-
tanning from all seagoing men wheth-
er they would be willing to join the
Navy IN an emergency.
He said it is planned to organize
groups of such volunteer sailors
throughout the country for training
purposes, and that the question is
now being considered Of sending them
on short cruises aboard regular men
of war in order that they might ac-
quire a greater degree of a military
with the work that would be cut Jut
for them.
In other words, Captain Marshal
said the whole scheme means the
building up of branches of the naval
reserves. that they be available for
various duty in the navy in time Of
war. Captain Marshal is in general
charge of affairs pertaining to the
Naval Militia.

THE COMEDY "GOING SOME"
Chicago Stock Company Presents Great
Play Here Tonight at Colonial
Theatre.

If good laugh is better than medi-
cine, then the Chicago Stock Com
pany's production of "Going Some"
is the fountain of health and youth.
This fountain will bubble merrily at
the Colonial Theatre tonight.
In pickings this play as one Of the
features Of his large repertoire, Man
ager RossKam feels that he has Sc
lected one which will please every
patron of the beautiful playhouse and
prove the laughing sensation of the
season. The names of the authors in
sure a good entertainment. Rex
Beach is well known as a novelist, be-
ing the author of 1.-The Spoilers,
1.-The Barrier, " ''The Silver Horde, :"
while Paul Armstrong has to his
credit "Alias Jimmy Valentine" and
The Grey Hound" now running at
the Astor Theatre in New York with
no end in sight
These authors are the possessor of
what are the two most picturesque
vocabularies in the captivity, and they
have pooled their slang for this effort
which New York critics pronounced
great and was backed up with a run
at the Belasco Theatre for over nine
months As everybody in The
School for Scandal" talks epigrams,
so everybody in Going Some" talks
George AIDE. The result is unde-
niably tickling.
The story in brief of this fantastic
play is as follows: The boys of the
Flying Heart ranch have lost their
choicest treasure, monograph, when
their champion lost tootrace to the
cook of the Centipedes. The Flying
Heart champion makes his escape,
and soon after j. Walingford Speed, a
"show athlete" whose physical ex-
ercise has consistel chiefly in wear
ing the costumes of various sports
comes to New Mexico.
z Speed talks big and finds himself
matched against the sprinter Of the
Centipedes What follows has to do
with Speeds efforts to escape, at
tended by sudden death, and his event
ual winning of fixed race. The
play employs the entire strength of
the company and will be given an
elaborate production.
The matinee Thursday afternoon
will be "The Stampede, the Western
play that scored a decided hit last
night.
Goethe 5 immortal drama Faust"
is announced for production Friday
evening at the Cole NAL Theatre.
The play will be staged with all the
effects and scenery that made the
drama famous. The version present
ed will be the original Lewis Nor

program will also be introduced.
"Faust'is now being takel up as a
study in the schools, and will be of in
terest to all students. The play here
