predicament of feminine mayor-elect

here before. but his act seems to be
entirely new. The bill closes with the

DOES TANGO

The violent movements OF the mod

flesh down. but they also tend to put
an extra strain upon the vital organs,
especially the heart, and so may dam

sides many people do not dance. some
people do not believe in dancing and
few people can afford the time to
dance enough to really accomplish
much reduction. 4 better way to dis

For the closing week at the Gay?
ETY.. Manager George Peck has ar
ranged an interesting entertainment.
1t Is provided by I'D Lee Wrothe
and the Ginger Girls" and the ag-
gregation is a winner from start TO
finish. Wrothe has the familiar role
of Janitor Higgins, and his quaint
comedy is irresistible. Harry p. Nell
son, as Herman Schmaltz, was much
in evidence in the comedy work.
while Gus Roeber, Owen Martin. and
Al Weston aided materially in MAX
ing the show success
Miss Jean La Beau heads the fem
mime contingent. and with Ethel Mar
mont and Una Chadwick leads the
large and handsomely costumed
ch orus in the ensemble numbers.
The production is elaborately
staged. the four scenes in the first
act being set at the Sheepshead Bay

the Chilcoot Pass in Alaska forms
the Alpine Quartette. The song num-
bers include "Ze Cav Paree" Il Love

and Seminole" striking Indian
song rendered by Jean La Beau and
chorus.
Next Monday night Manager Peck
will be rendered a benefit. when three

COLUMBIA

No, the program was not in error.
But anyone who knows Arthur w.
Pinero only by the keen satire of such
of his later works as The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray," or by the somber gloom
of "Mid-Channel," may question his
authorship Of such a romantic and
wholesome comedy as Sweet Laven-
der presented this week at the Co.
lumbia Tbeater.
A stock company, even one OF such
high caliber as the Columbia Players,
may not always be adapted TO the play
chosen. But the various members OF
that organization could not better be
adjusted to the parts afforded by
Sweet Lavender" had they been Sc
lected for this play alone.
Again the work of George W. Bar
bier is the outstanding achievement
of the week. Cast as the good-heart-
ed, weak-willed. loyal, tipsy barris-
ter, Dick Phenyl. he gave a delinea-
tion that would pass muster about any
court. This week Violet Heming may
also be praised without qualification.
AS the winsome daughter of poor
laundress. her charm was sufficient
excuse for the aristocratic young
Clement Hale to fall in love with her.
And Earle Brown accomplished that
difficult task, the impersonation of an
English gentleman, without making
him seem ridiculous to American eyes.
II there is little of the later Pinero's S
cynicism and pessimism IN Sweet
Lavender" there likewise is lacking
his keen and pungent wit. But there is
a pretty love story, interviewer with
fsnciful comedy. and the simple charm
Of old play took firm hold on the Co.
lumbia audience.
The three names mentioned by no
means exhaust the personal triumphS.
For Jessie Glendenning had a role, as
Minnie, Of young woman who took q
jiltinS most gracefully, and Carrie
Thatcher was cast as the mother
whose early experience with a lover of
higher station almost caused her to
wreck her daughters happiness.
Julia Blanc, as Mrs. Gilflian. a
Ubiquitous matchmaker. found in her
role rich vein of comedy, and John
NJ Kline was seen in the pompous
Characterization OF Godfrey Wedder-
