The deep tragedy of the finale is re-
heved by the great dramatic strength

Tho play is hailed as another Mary

the primitive outdoors and by the sea,
finds strength in its very simplicity and
in the girls marvellous skill as an act

she wins the friendship of the wolf,
her gentlencss finally overcoming the
savage nature Of the brute and holding

Dramatic
Comment

The recent zero weather, which has
overwhelmed the country, has been
particularly hard on the travelling play
ers, who are usually more exposed to
it, than any other professional mon
and women. In spite Of the tropical
character OF the "Garden Of Allah, -
with its vivid picture OF the heat
blown sand storm of the desert, the
natives of the Sahara, who travel with
the show, have suffered least of all.
1t is said that there is no more pene
trating chill than that which sweeps
over the desert after sundown, and the
Arabs find the zero weather Of the
United States, therefore, most congo
NAL. Their theory is that if the lungs
and chest are well covered they viii
be immune from colds. Even their bare
legs have been warm in the coldest
weather.
Her salad days are over. Miss Mar
garet Romaine, the Utah girl who has
made such tremendous hit as the
" Midnight Girl' at the F'orty-fourth
Street theater. has decided to change
her name. This is the process through
which not only she, but her sisters,
have gone through successfully before:
The family name is Tout. Her sis
ter Hazel was Hazel Tout before the
English composer, Paul Rubens,
changed her name to Hazel Dawn.
