KISS AWAKENS Her in.
1.-THE LILAC DOMINO"
Andreas Dippel Declares Play This
Week at Belasco Marks New
Era in Light Opera.

Masquerade balls and the carnival at
Nice and hundreds OF pretty girls in
fancy costumes, and Cinderella at the
ball, and Prince Charming, who wakes
her with kiss, all this in THE Lilac
Domino" which is at the Belasco Thea
ter this week. the full company arriving
lase night. There is a breath of some
thing different about this play; something
that marks it as a little higher than the
usual comic opera.
Andreas Dippel, in speaking Of the COM
ing Of 1.-The Lilac Domino" with its grand
opera artists and symphony orchestra,
said
1T is seldom that We have a play from
the French where the idea is so very
young. Where the heroine is a maid
just out of school, and where the hero
Is a real fairy prince, even II he does
wear conventional afternoon dress when
he makes love to the princess. The hero
meets the heroine at a masked ball just
after he has made a foolish promise to
marry an heiress to rescue himself and
his two friends from their creditors. He
doesn't realize. though, when he finds
her asleep in his alcove nook and wakes
her with a kiss, and knows that she is
the only girl in the world, that she is in
very truth an heiress-he is too much in
love to realize anything very much at
the moment.
And then. of course, they are sepa-

to give a part of Alsace to the French
and to give up some of the Polish
provinces. but II Russia relinquish q
Russian province and Austria part OF
Galicia to this new Poland no real
sacrifice Of Germany would be en-
tailed. Austria would then leave the
rest of Galicia to Russia, Bukowina
to Roumania, and II necessary, part
of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Servis
and Montenegro.
The leading German statesman Gd-
mitted that Baron Won Burian's in
tentions were excellent and to some
minds his plan was justified by the
circumstances, but they declared thai
such a peace would not be satisfac'
tory.
Great Britain would be able t.
tyrannize over the whole world anC
Germany would have lost all chance
of safeguarding her commercial, in
dustrial and economic interests.
THE other terms sketched by BaroT
Won Burian, namely, the restoration ot
Belgium and Northern France and tht
recovery by Germany of her colonies

rated, for the course OF true love never
did run smooth, but the Lilac Domino
a the carnival brings back his ideal and
makes her realize that even though she
did resent the fact that he had thrown
dice for her in the first place. love Is
big enough to overcome even SO terrible
an obstacle.
THE music that runs Hike a chain
through this comic opera is remarkably
beautiful. The Lilac Domino like
Every Little Movement" in Nine.
Sherry runs through the entire three
acts and leaves behind 1t a haunting
scene Of unreality. There is always a
sadness in something very beautiful, an
element of sweetness that is all the more
appreciated because it is so very in
tangible. That is the impression one re-
ceives in hearing the music in The
Lilac Domino'-there is an intangible
quality about it, 1t isn't a happy-go-
lucky musical comedy, but a. love story
set to music and possessing qualities
quite above the average.
'Of course, there is plenty Of humor-
the comedy parts make US appreciate
the beauty OF II the more. The tragic
youth about the thing is so very appeal
ing. What is done. you never can undo,
and the way the two young people sing
It is real acting. II isn't often that we
hear voices like that coupled with an
ability to act that is incredibly clever.
Somehow a play like this one brings
home to all of us the fact that time is
fieeting and that love is, after all, the
only thing worth while 1t gives more
than an evening OF pleasure-it is alive
with little human touches, that make
II both a play worth seeing and a comic
opera with music that cannot be beaten
anywhere"

MRS. THAW RAPS
CHARITY BODIES
Criticises Spending 80 Per

"HUGE SUMS WASTED"

Its Money to Poor.
HUGE SUMS WASTED"

Charity organizations spend too much
money for expenses and too little for
charity, according to Mrs. Mary Copley
Thaw, of Pittsburgh, mother of Harry
Thaw. In recent interview Mrs. Thaw
criticised charitable organizations, which
she said. spend so per cent OF their money
for expenses and 20 per cent for charity.
THE Pittsburgh Association for the
Improvement of the Poor" said Mrs
Thaw, practically reverses these figures
Its administration expenses are II per
cent and its charity expenditures 50 per
cent. The trouble with the poor in most
cities is that the organizations for aid
work without system. They waste huge
sums in organization because they are
not properly organized.
Pay No Rent.
1.-THE Offices of our organization are in
a building which my children own in
Pittsburgh. 1 asked them to allow the
association to use it without rent, and
they did. We have districted Pittsburgh

are able to pay, and sold to any one
who will buy at regular prices, in the
interests of the poor. The proceeds
of these sales go a long way toward
defraying our expenses.
We have Mems Industrial De-
partment and connected with this is
the Emergency Fund depot, where
men who are unemployed can get a
stew for three cents, soup for two
bread for one and a cup of coffee for
one cent, so for four or five cents
they can have a satisfying meal.
IF able to pay we let them pay to
retain their self-respect. In any case
work is always ready for them on
the premises. We have a children's

For twenty-eight years a resident OF

beyond the Rio Grande. The second por-

audience.

Baron Won Burian thereupOn admitted
that there was no other way than to
reject all ideas of peace, and take all
the chances and all the risks Of contin-

The Germans agreed that it was
necessary to dispatch re-enforcements
to Hungary, and promised to transfer
troops up to the number Of a million to
Hungary. BY spring, they said, 100000
soldiers would be sent to France In
last attempt to crush the allies and force
peace.
These are said to have been the main
points in the negotiations between the

controversy.
''In any case, he said, It was doubtful
whether it would be possible for them to
