IRV, COBB and
The HOSS SHOW

New York is now in the throes of
it's annual horse show. Considered
as a sporting spectacle, this same
horse show is about on a par with
crokinole or checkers. But it hasn't
showed in vain, for it once gave Irwin
S. Cobb chance to spread himself in
one of the fanciest bits Of newspaper
writing ever pulled off in print. That
was some years ago, before old lrv
had been put into book form, and be-
fore he had became a bloated pluto
crat of the magazines. He was then q
reporter on the staff of the New. York
Evening World-and some reporter!
They sent Irv to cover the horse
show in the Garden, and he wrote, in
part, as follows:
Society came back again, martyr
ing itself to make a horses holiday
came back a tride more faded, per-
haps, and maybe a wee mite puffier
under the eyes, but nevertheless the
same old Society, all dressed up and
highly perfumed. And the Garden
was all smelled up with money again,
and the horses came forth and behav-
ed as horses will when they've broken
into society and quit being regular
fled drum. Nor could the
| lay eye note many changes in cos
tunes. It was still the proper thing
| for a woman to be half out of he1
| box and half in her gown. AS for the
! male escorts, they all wore their white
| ties and white gloves and their white
l-pearl studs and half-shell vests, like
so many dear departeds. I did note
down that Mrs Maybelle Gilman Co.
rey was wearing only part of hel
portable jewelry, and that she hao
| changed her diamond and pearl cal
drops, size seven and ). -eighths
| for a pair of green, large green en-
era1ds, which hung down Offering or
each side and put you in mind of g

| served:
| IT was panied to note that all OF
| last evenings gentleman riders rode
| English fashion, which, I take it, wa:
| invented by a man who was nervous
by nature and hated to- stay long ir
| one place. When a man hits the sad
die about once in so long and Their
bounces up SO high that you can see
| the tailor's label on the reinforced
| seat of his riding pants, and at the
| same time you get view of one whole
| end of the Garden encircled in an oval
| frame formed by the gentleman's legs
you can't help thinking that he has
something personal against the horse
and wants to have as little to do with
him as possible -
There was once an umpire named
Wise,
Who had nothing wrong with his eyes;
Who made no mistakes
And pulled no bad breaks
J But who would believe such tall lies

Independent Voters
Factors In Election

The remarkable thing about the re-
cent election is the utter irregularity
of the verdict. Two states are found
to exist side by side, where social and
economic conditions and personal
temperament seem about alike. Yet
they show radically, different results
While New York, for instance, goes
strong, Republican, Ohio, a near
neighbor, with similar traditions and
habits and population, goes radically
opposite.
Similar tendencies are seen in the
voting in individual precincts, Peo-
pie who. were taking returns in news
paper offices say they were surprised
by the irregularities. A would run
ahead of B in one town; in another
close by similar in character, it would
run away ahead of A. The voters
are doing their own thinking under
their own hats. The party will win
that presents the best issues and the
best candidates. It cannot. expect to
win on its record, no matter how good
that is
The old time party loyalty produced
unity and harmony Of action that
many of our older people hate to see
disappear. But the modern spirit
emphasizes the individual Judgment
The voters will not be held down by
any past traditions.
The politicians need to realize that
the days of straight party voting are
over. They have realized that pretty
well during the last election. Most
people who have read many speeches
the past campaign will be able to re-
call scarcely any in which the
straight old-time appeal to party
loyalty was made.
A few years ago the politicians
used often to issue addresses begin
ming with the historic phrase: "Now
is the time for every good citizen to
come to the aid of his party Party
faith was conceived as a kind of re-
ligion, and scratching a single name
was a deadly and contumacious apos-
tacy: Today people who are thor
oughly convinced that the success of
their party is desirable, usually feel
that when a bad nomination is made,
they render their party the best SER
vice if they vote against that nominal
ton.

RUSSIANS INVADE.
BRIDGEPORT WITH
NU|NSKY TROUPE.
Great Gathering of Dancers
Prepared for Performance
Here Tonight.

Bridgeport experienced a Russian
invasion this morning, when Waslav
Nijinsky, conceded to be the greatest
male dancer in the world. together
with 1876 other members of the Met
ropolitan Opera Co.'s Serge Diaghi-
leff's Ballet Russo, arrived on their
two special trains of IL cars. For
one performance only at the Park
theatre this sensational troupe of &C
tor-dancers and musicians will repro
duce here four numbers of their re-
pertoire, exactly as they have repro
duced hem in Paris, London and the
Metropolitan and Manhattan Opera
House in New York.
Besides the 65 dancers in the troupe
including besides Nijinsky, Adolf
Bolm, Alexander Gavrilow, Ivan JAZZ
whisky, Nicolas Kremneff, M. Pianow-
ski, and Nicolas Sverew, Janina Ben
lecka. Margarita Frohman, Lydia
Lopokova, Sophia. Pfanz, Flora Re-
wales, Olga Spesiwtzewa, Lydia Soko-
Iowa, Galanta and Kachouber, voted
the most beautiful of Russian girls.

Pierre Monteux, soldier-conductor
who spent eight months in the tren-
ches, a technical staff of 20, four
maids. three Wallets. six costume wom-
en- and the families Of many Of these
on tour. 1t is the greatest and most
costly aggregation ever taken on tour
in this country, which is necessary in
order to give these cities the same
productions as given in Europe or
New York.
It is absolutely impossible to convey
an impression of the beauties of the
Ballet Russo. To many Americans
the opportunity is being given to
learn a new language-the dance.
Thoughts too delicate, too subtle, for
the mere cumbersome speech are con-
veyed to audiences through the COM
bined harmonies of 4Monteux, Bakst,
Fokine and those consummate artists
of the dance. The Ballet Russo is
fairyland rediscovered, youth, and
beauty made tangible, poetry realized.
It is impossible to be extravagant IN
describing the work of these artists;
the difficulty is in finding words to
convey the impression made by col
or, sound and motion.
While the price Of seats may seem
high, one should stop to consider that
they are no higher than in New York.

PRIVATE DANCING LESSONS.

Private dancing lessons, given any
afternoon or evening at Quilty's
School of Dancing in the Colonial Ball
Rom, 271 Fairfield avenue, is the best
way to gain a. knowledge of the popu-
lar dances of the day. The waltz, one
step. and fox trot are taught in stand
ard form in a. few lessons and at mod
crate terms. The ball room gives op-
portunity for practice not offered in
any other school. Now is the time to
learn to be ready for the many pleas
ant affairs coming during the holi-
days. Advanced pupils are invited to
attend the classes meeting Wednesday
and Friday evenings, thel after pri-
vate, from 9 to IL o'clock. A period
of instruction in the latest steps is
followed by dancing until midnight
with excellent music. Only single ad-
missions are required for these classes.

LYRIC

That very unusual drama Of life
realism, and daily occurrence, "The
Revolt" which is being splandidly
presented by the Lyric all-star stock
players this week, is attracting large
audiences, and at the same time
creating somewhat of a sensation.
The theme, err problem dealt with in
this vital play is one of a most seri-
GUS nature, and requires careful
handling, as it is a. daring subject,
yet one Of direct interest to everyone.
THE Revolt is even more than a
play, as 1t is a lesson, or stage SER
mon, in which every line or incident
of the three stirring acts have their
meaning and literary value.
The. part of "Anna, the wife" SO
perfectly played by Ethel Waldron, is
most plausible portrayal of char
acter that exists in abundance, that
Of the Disconnected and neglected
wife. David Herblin, as the cold ma
tured husband, does splendid work in
q difficult part.
One of the distinct hits of the per-
Torrance is made by Margaret Arm
srrons, who as the woman gives a
str1ktngly correct performance. Rita
Har1an, is the typical stepmother, and
Frances Waldron as "the gay one''
were excellent, as was Alexander
Leftwich. who directed the produc-
tion,s in the part Of "the souse.' The
latter two Introduced a tango dance
speciality in the second act which re-
ceived numerous encores. William
Evarts as ''the prude," does splendid
acting. The work Of Florence Daven-
port, in the part of 'the sad one" is
most commendable a swas that OF

BRITISH DEFEND
TRADE BLACKLIST
IN NOTE TO U. s..
Hold That Measure Is Justifia-
BILE Under Interna-
tiOnai Law.

Washington, Nov. 15-Further ne
citations between the American and
British government over Americas
objections to Great Britains trade
blacklist were considered certain here
today. A British reply to the latest
American protest made public last
night by the State Department. de-
tends the British position and leaves
open the door for further exchanges.
Great Britains defense of the black
list declares the measure is purely a
municipal regulation, denies it in
vades neutral rights and asserts it's
purpose is to shorten the war There
can be no contention, the note de-
clares that the British have not the
right to deny the facilities of British
commerce to those who assist the
cause of Britain's enemies wherever
possible.
1.-The feelings which I venture to
think have prompted the note" the
foreign minister declared in the Brit
ish reply, must have been that the
measures = *will be expanded to
an extent which will result in their
interfering with genuine neutral
commerce, perhaps that they are not
exclusively designed for belllgerent
purposes, but are rather an attempt
to forward our own trade interest at
the expense of neutral commerce
- ~ y sand that they are, from
the monetary point of view, unneces-
sary."
Even these conclusions, it is assert
ed, are wrong. The foreign ministry
promises the measures will not be ex-
tended further than is absolutely
necessary, declares they are strictly
war measures and says that the. end
of the war is not near enough in
sight for Britain to neglect any just
means to bring about it's termination.

OF The STAGE

This is the centenary of the birth
in Boston of Edgar LOOMS Daven-
port, who was not only one of the best
Shakespearean actors of his time, but
was the father of nine children nearly
all of whom gained fame on the stage.
The most celebrated of his offspring
was the late Fanny Davenport, who
was for many years esteemed among
the foremost of American actresses,
and who was as popular in England as
in her native land. Edgar LOOMS
Davenport was born on Nov. Is, 1916,
and made his stage debut in Provi-
dence at the age of twenty-one, as
Welborn in "a New Way to Pay Old
Debts.'' For decade thereafter he
was member OF stock companies in
Boston playhouses. In >1847 he went
to England, with Anna Cora Mowatt,
and afterwards supported Macready
for two seasons. Until his death he
was a successful star, displaying great
versatility, but he was at his best in
Shakespearean roles. He married
Fanny Vining, a favorite actress, and
they reared a brood of children who
added luster to the family name.
In addition to Miss Fanny Dayen-
port, the greatest of the clan, there
were Miss Blanche Davenport, known
on the stage as Blanca La Blanche.
who achieved fame in grand opera in
Italy as we'll as in America Florence
Davenport, who was both actress and
singer, and a member of John T.
Ford's famous opera company; May
