Adele Ritchie gave such clever re-
cital of original and catchy songs that
she is entitled to the premier position OH

made pronounced hits, with the aid OF a
distribution of tin whistles and permis-

BelaSco.

The Lure" the play which created so
much discussion in New York that it has
become known throughout the country
as a typical example of drama whose
usefulness and propriety are seriously
in question, was presented at the Belasco
Theater last night Its only excuse for
being is the claim that if Damaged
Goods was proper as demonstrating an
effect. The Lure also may be conSid-
cred permissible as indicating u cause
Damaged Goods" however, was care
full to surround itself with suggestions of
serious purpose. while The Lure has
been left to take its chances as popular
entertainment without sufficient erIort to
provide it with authentic support as a
moral reminder or an educational Snflu-
ence.
The dramatic construction is marked by
the consistent skill of Mr.. George Scar
borough. who has demonstrated in other
plays his competence as plot construc-
tor.
1t IS not a pleasant evenings diversion.
1t deals with hard and unsympathetic
characters, and the seriousness with
which it is taken depends not only on
the skill of the actors. but on the per
sonal views OF the auditor as to how
far the stage should be permitted to go
in discussing questions which cause even
the most profound sociological investiga-
tors to hesitate about taking the layman
into their confidence.

PINCHOT TAKES CONGRESS
TO TASK FOR DELAY
Gays Lobby Is at Work to Prevent
Conservation of Radium
Ores.

Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation Association. has is
sued a statement criticising Congress for
delaying legislation to conserve and reg
Llate the production of radum from pub
tc lands, and sharply attacking Senate
committee amendments to the pending
Walsh bill. During the two months that
have elapsed since the joint resolution
on this subject was introduced. the
statement said. mot less than five hun
dred additional claims have been located
by private persons, so that their content
of radum. the only medical remedy for
cancer. may be exploited for private
profit instead Of being used for the pub
lie good
Mr.. Pinchot condemned particularly
committee amendments to the Walsh bill,
under which the Secretary of the In
terror would be required to pay the
market price" for radium ore produced
from leased public lands: the government
would lose it's right to purchase the ore
ore rendered at a railroad station by the
lessee of that claim, and the law would
not apply to land not known to be val
liable for radium at the time the claim
for it was located.
The statement referred to a ''radium
lobby and to men who are preventing
the relief of human misery in order to
make money out of it."

Gayety.

The show at the Gayety Theater this
week is one of the most entertaining Of
fered at that playhouse this season. 1t
is an out-and-out burlesque production.

eliminated. and ''slap-stick" work has
been minimiZed.
Lew Kelly. the comedian who never
laughs is the headliner Mr. Kelly seems
able to keep his audience in an uproaI'
without allowing even the faintest smile
to creep across his own face.
The success of the entertainment IS
largely due TO the vaudeville acts. Con-
trary to the general rule in burlesque. the
chorus is on the stage little of the time
and the principals are given unusual op-
portunity. The first half OF the snow Is
devoted to a musical farce. and the latter
entirely to vaudeville.
Clever representations of stage celeprl-
ties are given by Lon Hascall, Gertrude
Lynch Freda Florence. Vic Casmore ana
George Douglas. Martelle scored big
hit with an imitation of Julian E!.lnge.
A wartime burlesque entitled. 'Shenan-
doah'' is also a feature. George Douglas
and Ameta Pynes presented a good dam
cling speciality, and Laura Hayden ana
Stella Morrissey sang song hits that
called for encores. Jim Tenbrooke also
does his share of fun-makine.

NEW COURSE OF STUDY
FOR CHICAGO'S SCHOOLS
Board Adopts Innovation by Calling
on Teaching Staff for
Suggestions.

CHICAGO. March "a new course of
study will be put in effect in Chicago's s
schools next week. The course, which
was adopted yesterday by the board Of
education after two months considera-
ton. is a combination Of many prepared
by teachers, principals and district super
intendents at the suggestion of Mrs. Ella
FlaSg Young, superintendent of schools
1t is said to be the first one in which
the teaching force has had part in the
making.
The course gives increased freedom to
teachers. permitting them selection in
all grades above the first two. An
other innovation is leaving a study out
one semester and teaching. it double time
the next semester. Several school trus-
tees contend that arithmetic should be
taught in every semester.
The course has reduced to some extent
the so-called "fads," although it was
criticized by some members of the board
for neglecting the fundamentals. The
omission of history and civics in the
early grades also was criticised

that of a ''rough-and- tumble fighter of
