MERRY COUNTESS
IS WE'LL RECEIVED
Much Heralded European Play
Produced by Clever Cast at
the BeIasco Theater.

The Merry Countess" produced by
an international company of players" :"
at the beginning of its weeks engage
ment at the Belasco last night, was ac-
corded a reception rarely seen in the
Capital during these days of many
plays and players. The much heraided
european success, which has changed
ats name at least three times before
us Washington bow, and its book and
lyrics repeatedly, but which still re-
tains the Johann Strauss scores, is all
that has been said of ii. II Is a mem
ofaole piece of light opera work. 1t
is produced by a company of excep-
tional ability.
The dialogue of THE Merry Countess"
is interesting, its situations rather un-
guessabie in advance. and, altogether,
II furnishes an evenings amusement
worthy of notice
Unlike the much-chorused musical
comedy OF today, the production brings
before the curtain its body of singing
Young men and women only when alb
soiutely necessary. The first act opens
IN the boudoir of the countess, with
stage bare of characters, while through
an open window leading into a garden
Hoats the strains of hungarian air.
Maid Arrives.
Then, Ilka, the parlor maid of the
production Miss FriIzie yon Busing. of
- Aborn company, known intimately
by Washington theatergoers) comes
upon the scene. Miss Won Busing's
popular dancing and ner singing, which
characterized her work several sea-
sons here In summer opera. has showed
no dimunition in charm
The "rejuvenation" of Forest Huff

The Aborn company, has been brought
about since his last theatrical visit

In the feminine parts there are Miss

only is good to look upon but who
possesses a voice of rare quality: Miss
Lysa Ora nam, who leads the clever
ballet number, aud Miss Mabel Rurnege
as Minna, of the princes private ballet
Good Impression.
Maurice Farkoa. as Gabor Szabo. the
Hungarian lover, while his voice is un-
fitted for singing, made an excellent
impression in his part, as did Martin
Brown and mis- characteristic dances
The surprise of the evening was A. W.
Bascomb, whose brief appearance in
the last act as Mattoni, the new and
sleepy vyarder of the prison, made him
one of the features of the show.
IN three acts, each really represent
ing a part OF the show, the Merry
Countess appears. The play has a plot
and at all times il is carried out. The
stage settings are good and the cog
tunes are excellent. The dances in
the three acts are clever If striking
music. clever and refined comedy, good
acting, pretty girls and costumes, and
catchy dialogue and situations appeal
TO a theatergoer. The Merry Countess

HERE'S WHAT AUTO
ENGINE DOES EACH
TINE IT SHOOTS

One OF the basic things of autOmO-
bile lore, often misunderstood by the
layman. is easily explained.
Most owners of automobiles fail to
comprehend the principle involved in
the four-cycle type motor. In the
first place. it must be understood that
the terms -four cycle" and "fOur-cy-
Under" are quite different A single
cylinder motor may be of the four
cycle type. In speaking of the four
cycle type motor it may be best to
call it the 'fOur-part cycle type" In
other words, a cycle is completion
OF events. or, still better, return TO
the original starting point. Apply
ing this to the fOur-cycle gas engine,
it viii be found that there are four
strokes of the piston, namely. First,
suction, second, compression, third,
firing, and fourth, exhaust, which
constitute the cycle. Each cylinder,
however many. operates in the follow
ing manner With the suction stroke
the piston travels outward from the
cylinder head and through the inlet
valve draws charge of gas into the
cylinder
Upon the return stroke the inlet
valve must close and the gas is then
compressed to approximately sixty
pounds a square inch.

RUSSIAN STRONG
IN HIS PRAISE
STUDYING American Methods of Manu-
faCfure. Engineer MnrveIs Dur
ing Tour Of Plants.


Sent TO the United States for the eX-
press purpose of studying at first hand
American methods OF automobile manu-
facture. Boris Nicholedoff. a leading
Russian engineer, recently made tour
of American plants and expressed his
approval of procedure in no uncertain
terms
Mr. NicholedOff said, 1T has always
been a source of wonder to US in Europe
how manufacturers could build cars of
such excellent standard at so low a
price. European manufacturers must
cOncede that they cannot approach the
American standard
In going through the American
plants. I was given an opportunity to
study every phase Of construction, from
the raw material to the finished car
To me the quality Of material. the eX-
cellence Of workmanship, the careful
inspection and infinite care taken in
every detail was a revelation There IS
no longer any doubt in my mind as to
the excellence Of American methods and
the high value offered by the low
priced car"
The paper which Mr.. Nicholedoff rep
resents is one of the two automobile
journals in Russia The American car
has gained a great hold in that cOun-
try and there IS no doubt but what the
series Of articles on American manufac-
ture published viii greatly increase this
trade. American trade can be helped
consistently because of the fact that
there are no cars manufactured in Rus
STA which can meet the American mod
crate priced car.

CERTAINLY NOT.

Dear Miss Fairfax
I have been keeping company with
a young man one year my senior for
the mast four years. Ever since I
met him I have shown that love him
in every way. but never has he re-
turned any affection for me. Al
though we are on good terms he never
more than Creets me when he sees
me I am much taller than he. and
believe that that may be the reason he
does not care for me. DO you think it
would be proper for me to tell him of
my love for him straight up and
DOWN. Rose s
Of good taste i'm showing that You love
him. Don't add to your humiliation by
telling it straight up and down"
Your height has nothing to do with
if He makes no effort to win your
love because you have fOOlishly
thrown it at his feet.
