fluffy bit of femininity as a vehicle las,

sparkling little piece of highly enter

can lay claim to no serious pretentions.
1t Is frothy little play. scintillating
with clever lines and threaded with de-
lightful human touches that make it we'll

Washington play-goers the extent of her
cleverness and ability.

heart of her.
Comes this high-spirited young creature
to visit her Aunt Joan Doubleday in a
suburb of Philadelphia, chaperoned by
her cynical and disappearing mother.
Here Jerry meets Montague Wade, for
twenty years affianced to Aunt Joan. and
learns thing or two for herself in her

array of features. Even at this late day
1t may not be improper to remark thai
Bispham is one of Americas creates,

The seven Honey Boy minstrels are
a whole show in themselves, bubbling
over with melody and laughter through
out the entire twenty minutes of pres
entation. Herbert Williams and Hilda
Wolfus caused Mysteries in their now
familiar capers at the piano.
Bancroft and Broski made a big hit
Octavia Broski cast her spells indiscrimi-
nately and sang quite as alluringly as
she did in .'Oh. Oh, Delphine" and the
numerous othep musical pieces she has
helped to success from time to time Mr.

There are other numbers on the pro-

DANIELS BEGINS wage
PROBE At LOCAL YARD
First Step Toward Probable Pay In
crease Will Be Naming
Investigators.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels yester-
day announced. following a conference
with President Wilson. that he will ap-
point a special board to investigate and
report upon wage conditions at the naval
gun factory of the Washington Navy
Yard without waiting for the regular
wage adjustment period in December.
Mr.. Daniels issued n statement in which
he stated he realized that skilled me-
chanics are commanding increased wages
throughout the country.
Secretary Daniels statement reads:
1T Is recognized that conditions in
manufactures engaged in making guns
have changed since the rate of wages
was fixed last December. Wages in out
side gun factories for highly skilled me-
chanics have increased and the demand
for experts in such establishments is
much greater. I do not feel authorized
to make any change in the compensation
OF these few workers without the GUS
tomary investigation and report of a
la Dor board. but in view OF changed con-
ditions, instead of waiting for the regu-
lar period Of wage adjustment in Decem-
Der. / will appoint a board and direct
its members to investigate the prevailing
rate of wages paid for skilled mechanics
in plants like the gun factory in Wash
ington. This board will be directed to
report at the earliest practicable day
feasible, and as soon as a report is re-
ceived action will be taken looking to
such adjustment of wages the inveSti-
cation and report show are justified by
prevailing conditions.

Gayety-''The Rosey POsey Gfrl.''

In spite of the general exodus of pleas
ure-seekers from the city. many remain.
ed in town to welcome THE Rosey
Posey Girls at the Gayety yesterday
afternoon. The capacity audience in
cluded scores of standees and everybody
was compensated for being stay-at-
homes.
Peter Clark's Rosey Posey Girls are
live ones-a bright and sunny DISPOSE
toned bunch-who are entrusted with a
conglomeration built for laughing pur-
poses only. 1t is named She Sins
Again." but the title is entirely irrele-
want, for the show is nothing more nor
less than an ultra modern burIesque en-
tertainment comprising plenty of catchy
songs, amusing specialties, funny come
dians, attractive chorus, and spectacular
features.
Burlesque audiences are unable to get
fed-up on dancing. In fact they get
quite pceVish when there is an absence
OF the terpsichorean art. The artists of
this week, notably Earl and Marie Gates,
and the rest of the girls from the Golden
West. satisfy the demand in their rendi-
ton of the Barbary Coast dances, de-
scribed as the real tangoetta
The principal fun-makers are all well
known to the patrons and their special
merit in his or her part has not suffered
since the time we last saw them. Harry
Bently. Harry lie Van, Walter Pearson,
and Tommy Cullen lead the male conrin-
gent and Eftie Pearson. Claire Evans
Jane Pearson, and Mamie Mitchell sing
as well as ever and are attractive in
their bright costumes.
The musical numbers indicate careful
selection of the best of the latest hits
and are well sung by a chorus that puts
''ppD'' in bop oF TIC
None of the notables escaped from the
Big Review" even Anna Held is resur-
rected. but it is good to have Lew Kelly
with us again so soon. All the imperso-
nations were ludicrous or otherwise an
the subject permitted. Nat Wills. Nora
Bayes, the Castles. and even David Be-
lasco are among the take-offs.

visualizes Jerry with a touch that COM
