One Of the most pleasing offerings
Of many years in vaudeville Is the one
this week at the Keith Theater In
which three of Gilbert and Sullivans
ever popular and delightful operas,
woven into one presents with an ex-
cellent list Of soloists and choruses.
From the opening chorus OF I'VE Sail
the Ocean Blue until the closing num-
ber Of the Pirates Of Penzance." the
long familiar numbers Of the two
operas with plenty Of tuneful "Mikado"
make a most delightful evenings enter
tsinment. All the principal solos: duets.
quartets, choruses and ensembles are
used in bringing to the auditor the
charming music OF yesteryears. The
scene is laid on the n. NJ. S. Pima
fore" and the choruses are finely cos
TUNED and well trained.

scenery and baggage Of the Taylor

THE THRIFT OF BELGIUM

Indignation at Belgium's plight
was warranted, but perhaps the pic.
lures painted Of her distress at this
time are too vivid. Ernest P. Bick-
nell, who directed the Red Cross re-
lief work there, recently returned to
Washington, and last evening de-
scribed the country as thriving and
taking hold Of her industries, es-
pecially agriculture, with courage
and high hope for a restoration OF
her prosperity.
That quality which saved the Bel
gians from yet more\ dire distres.
than they have suffered, Americana
would do we'll to emulate. 1t was
the thrift which found Belgium, in
the time of her need, with a higher
ratio Of bank accounts than any
other country in the world. Belgium
needed food sorely. but she did not
need it because of the lack of funds
to buy it. When food arrived more
than two-thirds of the population
were able to pay for it as they got
it.
One other phase Of the situation
would be different in a similar crisis
in this country. Every Belgian town
was SO we'll organized that there
was no need to investigate the
status of those who applied for re-
lief. The records of each commune
furnished all that was necessary to
know about him. This fact alone
made the task of relieving the FAM
inc immeasurablY easier.
