So slowly. stopping every other hop
to sit up and look and listen. Peter
made his way out to the very place
where Reddy Fox had curled up for
the sun-nap that he didn't get. There
was a splendid view from the great
rock. Peter could see for quito a
distance among the trees of the Green

could see nothing to be afraid of. In
fact, he couldn't see a single living

he sat looking and listening. Then he

AS he sat there on that bare place
on the great rock, Peter looked all
most like a part of the rock itself. just
q little gray-brown bump on the top
of the rock. 1t was SO very still and
warm and nice that presently Peter
began to feel sleepy. He was just
beginning to doze when the same thing
happened to him that had happened to
Reddy Fox. A wandering little breeze
tickled Peters nose. Instantly Peters
eyes flew wide open. That funny little
nose Of his began to wabble as only
Peter can make it wabble. Once more
the little breeze tickled it. There was
no doubt this time-Peter smelled
Buster Bear! His nose told him that
Buster Bear was right close by. Peter
knew now what had frightened Reddy

was something to find out. Peter made
up his mind right then and there that
he would find out before he went home
to the dear Old Brier Patch.

Billie Watson is at the Gayety this
week in a typical "Krousemeyer and
Grogan" show. Watson is the same
Philip Krousemeyer. a character which
he has portrayed in burlesque for a
number Of years. and Johnnie Jesse
handles the role of Grogan. Burlettas
entitled "Krousemeyer in Japan" and
"Krousemeyer's Christening" furnish
settings for the fun, During the first
Of these three scenes are presented.
Although Watson and Jesse are re-
sponsible for most of the laughs in the
show much of it's success is due to the
singing of Ida Walling and Adelaide
Walsh. Lillian Franklin also scores
with her singing. Others in the cast
are Lulu Leslie. Ruby Marion. Ed La

New National.

Potash and Perlmutter," the comedy
at the New National Theater this week,
is amusingly typical Of peculiar phases
of New York life. AS character farce
Potash and Perlmutter' Is a triumph
from whatever angle it is viewed. II
there are not exactly a thousand
laughs, as the program states, there
are so many that no complaint can be
made. There is plot that does not
insult the intelligence, in spite of the
absurdly comic or elaborately senti-
mental situations. A capable. well
rounded cast permits no humorous pos
sibility to escape. The strange tning.
and the best thing. perhaps. about this
laughs and all it's ridiculous situations,
in which "Abe" and "Mawruss" are the
chief actors; despite its continual
|dingdonging on money ana its perpet-
ual attending to business, the play
leaves a pleasing tingle IN n what s are
of the heart"
Potash and Permutter" is strictly
business. 1t is out to sell laughs
There is no sermon preached except to
every manifestation of nature. With
funny lines coming one after the other,
faster than sales when business is
good, the comedy blends business ana
romance in way tnat aHoIus unnail-
ing entertainment. Julius Tanner ap-
pears as Mawruss Perlmutter and Ju-
liam Rose as Abe Potash. Both are ef-
fective in a perpetual play of whimsi-
cal alteration. 1t is like series Of
jeff and Mutt pictures with new dialect.
Potash and Perlmutter are New York
commercial Tweedledum and Tweedle-
dee While Julius Tannen has slightly
the better of the bargain, both as to
lines and acting, the sayings and man
ners of these two worthless are al
ways entertaining. A good company
supports the two leading hgures IN
