News Notes
Nobody would expect Bostonlans to be
edited, in their sense OF the word, at the
new revue called whats Going on7'
which cropped up there this week. But
they weren't even amused. The thing
has plot by William II. Clifford. After
that fatal mistake, no amount Of illusions
to topical matters could persuade the
audiences that they were being diverted
by real revue. The Boston Transcript
calls the music of William Lorraine and
Josephine Ihmsen somewhat reminiscent,
But no one could deny the amusing labors
of Roy Atwell.
New York's hotel for the unemployed
seems to have inspired the American
producer of Der Juxbaron" to translate
the title of the German operetta as
Baron de Gink." The music Is by
Walter Kells. A. number of unfortunate
native composers will doubtless be al
lowed to harbor the notion that they can
improve parts of 1t.
With 1.-THE Children of Earth" not do
ing half SO well as 1t deserves, Winthrop
Ames will produce no more pieces this
season. Consequently lotto TX" a play
by Mary Roberts Rinehart, will be held

Lecture On Twilight Sleep.

Many woman who was about to be visited by the stork consults her physician as to the Twilight Sleep treatment, its effect not only upon herself. but upon the child to be. In many instances the practitioner says there is nothing in it. thereby showing his gross ignorance, conservatism, and utter lack of sympathy for his pa- tient. This is the language of the foremost medical paper published in the United States, and this editorial condemns the physician who will not learn the technique which for nine years has been successfully used in Europe and has robbed countless thousands of women of their terror of the pains of child birth, which Norwich women will soon have an opportunity of witnessing the first motion picture ever taken of the Twilight Sleep treatment accom- panied by a lecture by Dr. Kurt E.. Schlossingk. who for four years was assistant at the Frauenklinik, Frei- burg, where Twilight Sleep was dis covered. These lectures will be de- livered at the Davis theatre next Mon day morning at 10.30 a. m., for women only. Seats on sale Friday.

Founded upon the old adage, that people who live in glass houses, must not throw stones this stirring tale of intrigue comes to the Colonial thea ire. today in all it's intensity. Louise Vale as the misguided and misunder- stood wife of the district boss, with Franklin .Ritchie as the district at torney, play the leading roles. The picture is a wonder photographical- ly, and the plot deals with political affairs intended to break up the cam paign of the district attorney, who is out to clean out the grafters. Dia- mond cuts diamond, until everyone is apparently an occupant of a glass house and the climax is one of satis- faction and beauty. Other films for today are "An Obstinate Sheriff."
