HOWES KISSING GIRLS
 A CLEVER PRODUCTION

sam IIowe's Kissing Girls got
 away to a flying start yesterday at
 the Grand theater. and judging from
 the reception extended to the troupe
 last evening, the Girls" are bound to
 become warm favorites before the end
 of the week. The show is an A Mo-
 l s karat production furnishing the
 audience hundreds of opportunities for mirth and merriment The pro- ducer has equipped the company with galaxy of pretty girls that can sing lo the utmost satisfaction the many breezy melodies that the program cohtalns. The costumes and settings are also of pleasing chara cter Mr. Howe carries tho burden of the comedy. and he does his work in a finished manner From the time that he makes his first appearances on the stage until the final curta,r. there is not a dull moment, and the brand of humor handed out hv MT. Howe is of tho first water brand As "T<y Umpsky' a wealthy Hebrew. Howe is at his best and his endeayors to force his pretty wife who has we'd for money. to love him are the cause for many painful moments while the audience are in a convulsive state of laughter.
 Miss Margaret F1avin as the wife, leaves nothing to be done to make the role successful. She has a plea Q. { way about carrying out her part and l is also the posSeSSor of gnificent voice. Her rendition Of "The Same sweet Girl" brought forth vocifer- 1 ous applause and she was forced to respond to numerous encores.
 Dainty Eva Null made her debut I 1 and if the applause that followed her l work last evening is to be accepted l as a criterion. she will be one of the most popular soubrettes that has ever l appeared in the Grand before the weeks engagement concludes. Miss l Null possesses a pleasing voice and l her opening number of, My Mothers 1 Rosary" IS bound to be one of the l hits of the season in the Capitol City The cast supporting MT Howe is , an able one each of the performers 1 carrying out their parts to perfec- 1 ton. Charles Moran as the Irish valet | Miss Anderson as a Spanish flirt, Miss Desmond as an American girl, MT. Prescott and MT. Pierson doing their ! work in a very acceptable manner. MT. Pierson's selection of 'NorWay," l was highly satisfactory. He is pos ! sessed of rich bass voice which fills | the theater from cellar to attic. 1 The song hits of the performance 1 include. "Oh You Dreamer Siam, I Loading Up the Mandy Lee. Close 1 to My Heart and I'm Longing for l One Honey

these two carry on their parts. Miss Herne as the delightful, simple charm ing, comedy little bud, and MT. Cross as the flashing, impotuous. mistaken, misund derstood aspirant for things worth while. But these two players have not things all their own way, nor do they garner all the honors. There is J. Irving White who presents an excellent portrayal of the Vicar is it the Vicar of Wakefield ?--and there is no better. There is a newcomer to the local company, Miss Cary Lowe, who, at the sacrifice of a pun, does carry low comedy on a very high plane. She gives a characterization of an English housemaid and mistress of the culinary department that is worthy of the name,-"Cookie," a part not unlike "Coddles' in "A Pair of SiXes,'' or Susie. From Sioux City, in "A Full House. with this excep- ton, however, it is much more re- fined than either of the above. Playing opposite Miss Lowe is Philip Sheffield in the character of an Irish gardener, or perhaps it is an English gardner, and as to make up he is excellent; but dialect,-never! Miss Dora Boorh makes a very matronly and dign1fled
  miss a good opportunity at emotional acting in her big scene III the last act. Miss Anna Rearder does very well Tn her one appearance and manages to give the "problem'' a good start.
 All in all, the Cross Players have added another triumph to their roper toirc. Last week they reached the ze- nith of their present season in "Bought and Paid FOr.' Attention was drawn at that time to the smOothneSs and finesse of the opening nights perform ance Many people had been remaill- ing away from the openings because of foreotten lines by the players. Last night. despite the unfavorable wealth CT, the largest opening nights audi cnco was in attendance and the reward was an almost perfect aerfOrrlancc. There was not a slip of the tongue, not a mis- cue, not d faux pas of any kind. All of which take tn csc first night performances out of the realm of dress rehearsals.

 She had laid bare all the tr3radv of her married life for the sake of her child; and what it had cost her to tell so calmly the story of shame and want and suffering and of the efforts of the drunken father to sell his daughter to man she did not love only she herself knew There was more than one woman among tho spectators who could and did guess what 1t cost her, and whose heart went out to her in pity

PROBLEM PLAY WELL RECEIVED ATLYCEUM
"BlindneSS Of Virtue" Draws ReC- ord Audience for Opening Night

Here then is problem for the fathers and mothers of young girls about to step over the threshold into budding womanhood,- "a problem which the Alfred Cross players attempt to solve this week at the Lyceum in a play bearing that catchy caption, "The Blindness of Virtue" But the center of the problem, little Fife Pemberton Of America as the crunchng, chilly snoWdrifts outside the Lyceum are un- like the radiant. rosy swect-peas in the stage garden in the opening act. And, be it said in passing, this is about thc most realistic scene ever present. ed under the Iyccum prOcenium arch. With a little more heat in the audi torlum of the theater at last nights performance it would require no stretch of the imagination to spend a pleasant half hour some where off the southern coast of Florida. with the sweet-pcas in bloom. Also, if was the Hrst time on record a Lyceum audi cnce applaudcd an opening scene which in itself bcspeaks Volumns for us thaWing propens1ties. And the snow was outside all the while
 But back to the problem, which is nothing more nor less than the simple little question, shall We Tell Our Girls of the Ways of the World?' And there you have it.
 Fife Pemberton is a quaint little innocent English girl, the daughter of a poor vicar. Her father and mother are busiIy engaged in looking after the welfare of the parishioners and have little time to waste upon their daughter. Comes to the vicarage for tutoring, the Scape-grace son of u nobleman, a lad who has never been given a chance, Archie" Graham. Hehas little difficulty in failing in love with Fife and she With him. So it hap pens that when he is called away she grieVcs his absence, and goes 10 his room in the early morning, clad in he. night gown, to await his return. The B1indness Shortly after having dis cussed this identical problem with his wife, the old vicar walks in and catches Archie and the girl. In this case everything ends all right; but tho reverend gentleman firmly believes that young girls should have their eyes opened and not permitted to ing those who stumble over tempta- ton in their blindness, virtuous though it be.

Did you ever realize that there is such a thing as a family vocabulary in almost every family?
 The other day I was listening to one of the members of the family who was talking over the telephone. By the way, when it is permissible. don't you love to do that?

IRELAND IN HANDS
 OF REAL FRESHMEN
Uonneulara Captain Tells Of Pre-
 paredneSS Plans in Erin

New York, April 2S.-'England may think she has Irish news bottled up, but Irshmen in New York are as familiar with the course of events in Dublin before and since the begin ming of the revolution as if there were no such person as a British censor"
 Colonel Patrick J. Wallace, com mander of a Connemara brigade of the Irish volunteers and now in this city because of conditions which make it impossible for him to return to Ireland, made the foregoing state 1nent yesterday and backed it up by producing letters and cablegrams in cipher which told of events covering a period of several months and up to the time of the uprising last Satur- day.
 Colonel Wallace was a member of the board of directors of the Irish National league, John Redmonds or ganization. He resigned when MT. Redmond made the statement that the Irish would fight for England
 Not Fostered Here or in Germany
 Let me say at the beginning y said Colonel Wallace, that the pres ent situation in Ireland was not fos- tered in Germany, nor yet in America Moreover the Sim Fien, which is an organization of intellectual Irishmen who believe in passive resistance, have nothing to do with it.
 The plans of the Irish volunteers have been ready ever since the first talk of conscriptiOn was heard in Ireland. One of the first things done was the calling out of the lockers by Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the labor organizations of Ireland This was done by James Connolly, leader of the labor party since James Larkin came to this country.
 "The effect of calling out the lockers was to tie up the transpor- tation of all fool products destined for England. At this moment you may wager that there is not a ship ment of cattle. butter, eggs. fish or produce moving from Ireland to England.
 Tt was we'll known in Ireland that the English planned to seize al, the arms in the hands of Irishmen inst
