Twin Beds" Is Admirable
DispelIer of the Glooms
Salisbury-Mayo Farce Tickles
the Funny Bone" Of an
Understanding Public as 1t
Runs Its Satirical Way
Down the Entire Scale of
Marital Jealousies.
By JULIA CHANDLER NAME.

All the songs of praise that drifted
down to us from the metropolis concern
ing the cleverness OF the farce written
by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo
were just like any other laudatcry re-
marks to me until one day last summer
1 found a square little package on my
desk. When I had opened II stared
astonished into the beady-black eyes OF
two very small china folk. who sat bolt
upright in the most cunning little twin
beds / had ever seen. And from that
moment 1 anticipated the pleasure OF
seeing the Salisbury-Mayo commentary
on connubial bliss in apartment houses
to an extent that sent me post-haste
down to the New National Theater last
evening to see what manner of piece had
inspired so clever a souvenir.
Like the little gifts that found their
way to every dramatic desk in the coun-
try while the farce was still tickling the
risibilities of New York this little play
is a delight. Clean. and bright, and
clever. It first Of all makes one forget
that the world has sometimes trick
of being grim, for the laughs follow the
rapid-fire action beginning with litter
and ending with a guffaw that one
doesn't care who hears by the time it
has passed the chuckle stage. which
alone would make It quite worth while,
Tor there Is plenty OF room IoT IauBns
In the theater.
Aside from the fun that is furnished
by the unexpected twists of the inGenu-
Gus plot Twin Beds" makes satirical
capital out of what might logically hap
pen in any one OF many apartment
houses where the arrangement of rooms
Is duplicated on every floor: decorations
are UNMARRIED. and where folk attend too
much to the affairs of other folk and pay
too little heed to their own.
Now, little Blanche Hawkins has
enough good intentions to pave the way
nicely to a certain place of which we
have heard, but her brains and discretion
are considerably overbalanced by her
garrulous socia bility. which is responsible
for the entrance of the green-eyed mon
ster into her own cosy apartment. and
Justification for the numerous comic
complications with which the farce
abounds.
Blanche Hawkins Is visualized by a
Lois Bolton, California girl. whose
blond fuffiness accentustes that sim
plicity OF faith in the human race which
leads her into such a tangled skein OF
difficulties. ] had just long enough with
her in her dressing room last night to
learn that her enthusiasm Is not confined
to her profession. for she was bubbling
over with interest in the East, and par
ticularly IN Washington. where she feels
that already she has won friends.

friends" Mr.. Rand brought out that
the first payment to the Hamburg
American Line was made on June II.
1915.
In his admissions Mr.. Rand alleges
that the facts charged against the
steamship officials. while true. are
lawful He admitted that twelve
ships had been chartered by the line
under instruction from the head Of
fice in Hamburg and sent out from
American ports. These ships were
to coal and supply German commerce
raiders.
At the converting of court Mr.. Rand
announced that he would retract
previous admissions made as to the
defendants intercourse with CapI
Boy-Ed. He said he would leave il
to the government to prove that Capt.
Boyd was privy to the conspiracy
and alleged violations of the law.
Il take this step because OF pews-
paper comments upon the admissions
previously made" said Rand.
In his opening address Mr.. Wood
said:
We are not going to allow our
facts to reflect in any way upon the
German people. We are going TO
prove a conspiracy that extended from
San Francisco to New Orleans. a con-
spiraCy in which sixteen or seventeen
vessels were chartered. We shall show
that the money so used was sent from
Germany and expended under personal
supervision and direction of Capt
Boy-Ed.
We intend to prove that the con-
spirators rode rouShshod over the laws
Of the United States and treated these
laws as contemptuously as il they had
been merely scraps of paper
We expect to show that money was
sent also to Philadelphia by Capt. Boy
Ed Each of the boats chartered carried
a super-cargo. We shall show you that
the captain Of the Berwind had secret
instructions to obey the super-carSv
after he put TO sea, for which he was
promised a liberal reward. We shall
show that the super-cargoes told the
captains that they were to go to places
other than those they had cleared for.
The money sent to San Francisco was
used to coal the German cruisers Leipsic
and Dresden.
The Berwind was sent to the South
Atlantic. Here she met the German gun
boat Eba and the cruiser Cape Trafalgar
of Santa Lucia. After the Cpe Trafalgar
had finished taking OF stores she ell
countered a British cruiser and was sunk
in battle. The Lorenzo left port shortly
after the Berwind She was caught by
British or French cruiser. The Ham
brug-American Line paid her bond OF
indemnity"

In the Commoncr.
Two new cherubIm have appeared to
guard the Democratic Ark Of the Cove
nant They are John r. Mclean. owner
of the Washington Post. and William
Randolph Hearst. proprietor Of the
Hearst papers. They are not new to pol
itics, but they have taken upon them
selves a new role which justiies a word
of comment
II the readers OF the Commoner will
consult that portion OF the Bible which
gives a minute description OF the golden
OF beaten work-spread-
ing their golden wings over the golden
mercy seat. Just above the Ark OF the
Covenant. they will be able to picture the
Democratic ark as II now Is With these

ture to express an opinion adverse to the
plan outlined by the President at the
Manhattan Club. They are so conscious
of their own disinterestedness that they
can not help suspecting the motives of
those who differ from them on this ques-
tion-so vital to the welfare OF the ma
ton. and therefore so vital to the future
OF the Democratic party.
Quotes Two Newspapers.
Mr.. McLean's paper. the Washington
Post. in Its issue Of November 6, says:
THE division in the Republican party
having been mended. Mr.. Bryan prompt
Iy does his best to divide the Democratic
party.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan does not want to
see a Democrat In the White House.
why does Mr.. Bryan make haste TO
create a split in the Democratic party
II he is not trying to smash II? Why
did he have to attack President Wilson
on the national defense question? Does
not friendship count for anything
Doesn't gratitude count? Does party
loyalty mean nothing to him."
Mr. Hearst's paper, the New York
American. on the same date says:
MIR. Wilson has finally announced
that he favors proper preparation for
national defense.
"Mr Wilson's words were hardly out
of his mouth when Mr.. Bryan was in
print with opposing defamation. We
say defamation advisedly, because Mr..
Bryan does not argue. He declaims.
Upon al questions Mr.. Bryan is a
fanatic. He always goes to extremes.
In his peace propaganda he goes to even
more unreasonable extremes than he
usually goes.
THE American believes Mr.. Bryan to
be a real danger to the country. He is
wholly impracticable man. an unbal-
anced man but a plausible man. Be
cause he is a plausible man, he is apt
to influence an element of the people
that is swayed by plausible words, and

That's why ! like farce. It makes peo-
pie laugh, and II makes a player feel
splendid to know that she is having a
part in banishing the glooms."
Quite the anthithesls OF Miss Bolton
in appearance is Clare Weldon. who is
also paying her first visit to Washing
ton this week in the Salisbury Mayo
farce, although Miss Weldon is not new
to the East despite the fact that she
too Is a Western girl. She has appeared
in several New York casts. notably in
The Dummy" and last spring in "A
Full House" In Twin Beds Miss
Weldon gives a capital performance as
Sonora MOnti, who is subjected to a
strenuous life in her effort to curb the
temperamental infatuations OF her
Italian tenor. who is one Of the main
factors in the absurd situation in which
he finds himself when he comes home
in the wee sma' hours stumbling in
bibulous unconcern into the wrong fat
and into the wrong twin bed.
Auguste Aramini does not have to step
out of his life-rOle in order to portray
the Italian tenor OF the story. for pre-
viOus to his present effective character
ization, he was in reality a grand opera
singer mailing from Italy. and handles
his temperament with a familiarity
which leaves small doubt that he knows
its values

Ozsb as as another involved apartment

and Susan Morgan as the sclf-lmpOrtant
maid Of the Hawkins household. complete
the cast that maintains the swift action
so necessary to the success Of farce.
while Selwyn & Co. furnish an artistic
production Of the piece, which is staged
under the personal direction of Miss
Mayo. who may be congratulated on
having written in Twin Beds as clever
an evenings entertainment as she fur
nished some years ago I'm Baby Mine"
