Julius Caesar" with a farce comedy
TOO Many Cooks" Frank Craven's
laughing success, which after run of
six months in New York city evoked
enthusiastic approval when it was pro-

should be built as there are members of
the Cook tribe. In the second act the
framework of the house is up. and Still
the squabble continues. In addition to
the Cooks. the situation is complicated
by the appearance of the heros uncle,
who is also his employer. and who also
has special ideas as to the arrangement
of the house and the kind OF wife his
nerhew should choose. The third act
