BY HAYWOOD BROUN.

Ann Murdoch is cute in "please Help
Emily" The statement may stand as
praise or censure, according to your
opinion as TO whether any female per-
son Of more than twenty-one years has
right to wriggle ceaselessly through
three acts and talk through her nose.
We must confess our regret that so at
tractive a picture as Miss Murdoch
must be continually aficker.
please Help Emily" is the sort of
farce which haunts you with the sug-
eestion that some place or other you
will see It again. 1t shows what trip
across the Channel may do for a play.
The French and Englis' may be broth
ers in arms. but they are no closer kin
than cousins oft removed in the drama.
An English heroine in pajamas is
more amply attired than a French
farceur in a greatcoat. If the play had
come from Paris we should have been
worried when Emily Delmar crawled
into the bed Of Richard Trotter, absent
but since We knew IL had the London
hallmark we never feared for the
safety of Emily. Every English farce
has chaperon in the wings, ready to
dash upon the stage should the emer-
gency occur. 1t never does. When an
English heroine decides TO crinkle her
bare toes at anybody she takes jolly
good care TO choose some one safe.
Richard Trotter was a roue TO be
sure, but Emily was the ward of his
uncle, or something like that. and so 1t
didn't faze him in the least when she
invaded his rooms and went to bed.
Emily didn't dare go home because she
had been out all night on a harmless
lark. and in order to defer the wrath
10 come she induced Richard to accom-
pany her on a trip to her aunt's place
in Brussels. Naturally, Dicks fiancee
followed and just RS naturally she was
accompanied b. the man who wanted
to marry Emily After the tableau at
the end of the second act in Ostend II
only remained for Dick to marry
Emily and for the other man to take
the Tilted fancee Ferdinand Colts
chalk was the other man and he was
funny in the usual Gottschalk'sS
manner.
1t might be pointed out that the
major premise of the farce is moor
rect. II. VI. Harwood would have us be
lieve that there is something essential
ly humorous in staying out all night.
As a matter Of fact, 1t is merely rite
and an exacting one. The winners al
ways leave in good time. II ls only the
losers who see the dawn.

Active Service Auxiliary Finds
MANY Needy Cases.

Many landlords, responding to the
call Of the Active Service Auxiliary,

use of a four room apartment free for
a family designated by the auxiliary.
In it will be placed one dlspossessed
By a landlord whose patriotism was

New applications for help continue
to come in. and one of the recent

from a mother with ten children, the
youngest eight days old. The family Is
in need of food, rent and shoes, as well
as other .hings, and has been subsist-

Upper House Is Hostile.
An influential member of the Con-
scrvative party in the Landsthing (the
upper house, said toe day that il seems
TO he n settled matter that the Lands
thing will reject the treaty. Public
meetings on the treaty will begin in
the Landsthing tomorrow.

gree plaeated by the governments pro-
posed plebiscite the division being the
same as predicted two days ago-ap-
Pears TO justify the prediction that the
Lendsthing, where the Opposition is

A rejection would mean delay of

fore the end of October, and the new

Hope To Avoid Delay.
II is stated that the government at
no time had, nor has, the slightest de-
sire 10 evadc test Of strength at the
general elections. but would greatly
regret their becoming necessary in the
case of the West Indian islands for two
reasons. The first is because of the
delay which would thus be caused. and
the second because the proposed pie
tiscite would take the West Indies
question out Of politics and compel a
decision solely on objective grounds.
As the situation now stands, the
whole matter has become one of pure
" internal party politics, in which the
disposition Of the islands is all but lost
sight Of. The government feels that
the sale or retention OF the islands
ought not 20 be made dependent in any
Ccgree on internal strife of the various
PARTIES, which IL would be if the de-
ciSion is thrown in with the varied
issues of general election.
The government is particularly anx-
ious TO accelerate a decision as TO the
