"Mutt and Jeff in Mexico"

"Mutt and jeff" though compare
lively old, is ever new under the mas
terly management of Gus Hill, thf
dean Of cartoon comedy producers. A
new vehicle is furnished every year
for the exploitation of the eccentrici
ties CT that ill-mated pair of exag
gerated characters, Mutt and Jeff
Every new book is based on timely
topics and important happenings of
rational or international Importance
Mr.. Hill seems to have unlimited ca
Iacity for extracting comedy even
from g. tragedy. Although. entirely
inoffensive to any one, "Mutt and
Jeff in Mexico" presages much humor.
Playing, as it does, to the respectable
middla classes, home-loving people,
Mr.. Hill sees to it that there isn't
a line or an action to offend or bring
& blush to the cheek of the most pre-
else and conservative theatregoer.
"Matt and Jeff in Mexico" comes
to the Opera House tonight with CO.
foot carload of scenery and costumes,
q company of fifty capable artists,
singers, dancers and speciality per-
formers. A cargo of blushing Mexi-
can inaidens have been imported for
the chorus of "In Mexico" to lend
atmosphere to the production. Seats
should be obtained in advance to avoid
disappointment.

Actress Plays Delicate Part.

Miss Donna Vickroy, who plays the
role of of Olga in "The Devil" in
which the Gilmore Brown company
will be seen for a popular priced mat
inee at the L. & S. Theater Thanks
giving afternoon, has been much com
monded for her handling of that diff
ficult and trying part. In the hands
of another actress the famous dis
robing scene and the equally well
known scene with the cloak might
have degenerated into mere vulgarity.
But as Miss Vickroy plays them the
scenes are so skillfully handled as to
give cffense to no one. y
The entire play is remarkable al
legory of the power of evil. AS play
ed by Mr.. Brown and his company it
points a powerful moral.

COLD SUMMER DISHES.

A S an inspiration TO the summer
~ hostess there Is nothing more
practical than an occasional
luncheon at one OF the popular hotels
or restaurants. The cold buffet, with
ice blocks concealed Just below Its sur
face, is set with the most ornamental
OF summer luncheon dishes. many of
which are neither expensive nor diff
cult OF duplication by the average cook.
The long list OF gelatined dishes. such
as jellied tongue and fowl cold fish

OF mixed vegetables in aspic offers un-
limited possibilities for the use OF left
overs, az materials so served take unto
themselves an air OF luxury rather than
economy. The chaufroid sauce Is what
It's name implies, first hot, then cold. in
which latter state II is capable of elab-
crate decoration.
1t Is In reality the ordinary white
sauce well known in every kitchen, but
more highly seasoned and made of
chicken or veal stock instead of milk
The best qualities OF canned soups are
excellent for this purpose and have the
advantage of being easily available To
this white sauce is then added dissolved
gelatine. Several coatlngs of the sauce
should be given to any portion OF meat
or fish presenting an irregular surface,
a the beauty of The sauce IL its smooth
appearance,
Although white sauce Is usually
chosen for use with gelatine for cold
dishes, a similar sauce Is served at some
OF the restaurants under the name of
brown chaufroid sauce, the difference
merely consisting In the use Of strong
beef broth instead of the light colored
white stock. II In used In the same way
as the white chaufroid sauce and Is at
tractively decorated with such bright
colored vegetables as cold boiled car
rots arranged In fan fashion and rings
of bright red tomato. the inside pulp Of
the tomato being cut in small dice and
sprlnkled irregularly over the brown
sauce as Il is about to harden.
A clever hostess who Is on the out
look for attractive dishes that mini
mize time and labor will see the advan-
tage Of the present fashion of arranging
these fancy cold dishes In the same
form in which they are To be served.

To what are the beneficent effects
OF music due? Darwin, who never
rested until he could explain thing.
If IT were eXplainable. could neverthe-
less no more explain why musical
tones in a certain order and rhythm
afford pleasure. than we can account for
the pleasantness of certain odors and
tastes. I'VE know that sounds. more
or less melodious, are produced during
the season OF courtship by many in

After all. says The Journal of the

go no deeper for an adequate explana-
