AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Princess Pat.n

With its wealth of enhancing music,
scintillating book and lyrics, and Miss
Ruth WEIGH heading the cast, John Cort
will present his Cort theatre, New York,
comic opera success, "The Princess Pat, -
at the opera house Thursday, Nov. 10.
Henry Blossom is the author of the book
and lyrics of this latest musical tri.
umph; the music by Victor Herbert and
the staging by Fred G. Latham. The
story of "The Princess Pat has 10 do
with the flrtations of Princess di Mon
taldo tnce Patrice 0'Connorl, who is
called Pat for short, Since her marriage
to the prince she has discovered that
gentleman's enthusiastic love making. so
far as she is concerned, is on the wane
Counting a continuance of the once trop-
ical display of affection, she enters into
plot TO arouse those emotions by en-
tering into harmless Irritation with An
thony Schmalz, an elderly millionaire
The princess has double motive for
this. Her friend, Grace Holbrook, has
been induced to become engaged to
Schmalz, for reasons of convenience, and
Pat, rather than have Grace sacrificed to
a man that she cares nothing for. sees a
way of estranging the two and making
a better match for Grace. In this She is
aided and abetted by Bob barrow, sort
of adventurous friend OF young Tony
Schmalz, who is in love with Grace. The
scheme works, but only at the end of nu-
merous, strenuous situations in which
Pat finds herself and Others involved.
The score of the opera contains 20 mum
bers OF popular yet highly muiscianly
variety. The scenes of the three acts are
laid ON Long Island. The principle sing
ers will be Miss Ruth Welch, Efiie Toye

THE CURIOUS FAITH OF THE BET
TING ODDS.

| llNb ODDN.
With the odds against them all the
time, the Wilson betters must have
cleaned up tremendous lot of money
as the result of the presidential election.
AT no time were they forced to offer
odds. and most of the time they were
able to put up their money at the ration
OF eight to ten. They staked the small
end of the bet every time and they win
the large end. The betting has furnished
curious sidelight on the presidential
election. When Hughes entered the CON
test the odds on him Immediately were
placed at ten to five, but as sober judg
ment began to prevail the odds changed
to ten TO six and ten to seven Then
along came the straw votes which indi-
Gated that Wilson was running slightly
ahead; and the odds became more nearly
equal although curiously enough, stand
ing still in favor of Hughes On top of
the straw votes were the reports of de-
fectons from the Republican party in
the states OF the Middle West; and vet
the odds still chung to the Hughes side
of the balance. Hardly was a betting
chance placed at even money, most al
ways the Wilson money demanding odds.
Thus it stood right down to the eve of
the election and thus it stood two days
after the votes had been cast in this
most uncertain contest and the result
was still in doubt but with Wilson APP
parently commanding a lead Money re-
beled against nearly all indications save
one. That one indication was the fact
that the great state Of New York, carry
ing more electoral votes than any other
by big margin, was certain to 90 for
Hughes, Apparently it was thought
scarcely likely that the election could
be carried against the vote of New York
state. That is perhaps the reason why
the betting odds persisted in staying on
Hughes against all other indications.
