FRENCH COMPANY SEEN
HERE IN "L'ENJ0LEUSE"
Obvious Yet Humorous Comedy Poorly
Acted at Garrick


Instead Of lie Bonheur, Mesdames,'
which was to have been played by the
French company at the Garrick Theatre
last night, there was produced before
a slim audience "L'Enjoleuse," a COM
edy in three acts, obvious in plot,
humorous and at times vulgar In dia-
logue and situation, and, in the execu-
ton Of the first act, on a par with the
best efforts Of q high school dramatic
society.
Edouard Cassin, who played the part
Of Rouvray, an architect, whose wife
advances his fortunes BY Judlclous
firtations, ate a good many OF his
words in his haste 20 get them over
with. Georges Saulieu, as Castellon,
one Of the wealthy clients whom the
architects wife manages" did not
know his lines, and had 70 be audlbly
prompted when ne was not mumOllng
propositions in last minute endeayor
70 remember what 20 say next. Ivonne
Nirval did what she could with an IT.
retrievable situation. The first act was
not one 20 tempt the audience 20 re-
main.
Last nights performance lends point
10 the query Of those who have attend
ed some Of this years productions as
10 whether the enterprise Is intended
10 be artistic or patriotic. Whatever
its intent. j. has hardly accomplished
its purpose, for the scourings OF Vic
torian French farce and romantic
drama Of the COS and the shopworn
successes Of ten years ago, which have
composed the bill Of fare, are poor ma
terial 10 foster enthusiasm for art or
10 interpret the spirit OF La Belle
France 10 Americans.

Henry Clay Frick. it became known
yesterday, has recently added TO his
art collection another important old
master, Van Dyck's portrait Of the
Countess Of Clanbrazil' The price
is said 70 have been s2jo,00O. The
painting is considered By critics the
best among the eight English portraits
gathered By the Earl Of Denbigh.
Five Of the Denbigh collection were
brought last December TO this country
and have been on exhibition at the gal
leries of Lewis & Simmons. The group
is said TO be worth s1,5OO,OOo.
After his purchase Of the world

Morgan collection, Mr.. Prick for time
acquired few paintings. However
with the completion Of the ar gallery

Certainly the plsylet contains neither

The Choir Rehearsal" Is the simple
tale Of the girl who dared to send
forth "a regular song from the choir
loft one morning. For this she Is dis
ciplined and il is not until the arrival
Of another and younger minister that
she is reinstated. This fragile bit OF a
story is deliciously told by Miss KUN
mer. who wisely enhances the charm OF
il BY placing Il back in the hoopskirt
period. Its humor, Of course, Is that
OF "Annabelle" and "A Successful
Calamity" the most notable example
being the observation that all great
crandfathers look alike" The piece Is

"Oh, Boy!" Is a Bright Mu-
steal Show and Anna
Wheaton Charms
By HAYWOOD RR0UN

"Oh. Boy" has more jokes than you
can count on your fingers. That puts
il ten up on the average musical
comedy. In plot and situations the
new entertainment at the Princess The
atre is conventional enough. but Guy
Bolton and 2. G. WodehOuse have put
a snap aad sparkle even into their
lines about moles and blue pajamas.
But the best ingredient which they
have introduced INTO the show is Anna
Wheaton. When Miss Wheaton was
born the wicked fairy, according 70 the
custom, was not invited 70 the
christening. Naturally. she rode into
the room on her broomstick and cursed
the baby.
This child will never be very beau
tiful" was what she said. The mother
and father were Mortified, although
some Of the neighbors asserted that
they knew right along that the young
ster's mouth was a wee bit generous.
Il seemed Is II a musical comedy career
we're out Of the question for the young
prima donna, but the good ialres
hastened 70 comfort the stricken
parents and laid on the other feminine
attractions much thicker than usual.
Grace, they promised. and vivaclty and
humor and charm and the gift OF dane
ing and the play OF expression. They
kept their word. and last night Miss
Wheston gave the most fetching per-
Torrance in a musical comedy which
has been seen around here for some
time. II was quite a Joke on the bad
fairy. come 20 think OF 10.
The jokes OF "Oh. Boy" are what
we should call quick rather than clever.
However, the merely quick line IS pref
cradle 10 the dead one. The lyrics are
better that. They are shrewdly rhymed
and have a rare tilt. In fact, these
lyrics are quite worth hearing, and
you can do that in the Princess.
The music Of Jerome Kern Is pretty.

Amendment Is Expected to
Pass Within Two
Weeks
ABSENCE OF WOMEN
DECIDING FACTOR
Mrs. Laidlaw Says II Was
Hard to Keep Them
from Capital


Albany, Feb. l9.--lf the suffrage
amendment 10 be passed by the Assem-
bly, tomorrow reaches the Senate in
time TO be referred 70 the Judiciary
Committee Of he upper house, it will
be reported favorably out Of that COM
mittee al its meeting tomorrow after
noon. Senstor Elon r. Brown, major
ity leader Of the Senate, has decided 70
lift the lid on whatever opposition may
exist, and that insures the amend
ment's passage within two weeks, az
the outside.
The advocates OF woman Suffrage
have speeded action on their amend
ment by keeping away from the Capt.
tol. Senator Browns withdrawal Of
hostility is due almost entirely TO tia
discretion OF the suffrage leaders. Mrs.
James Lees Laidlaw, who came TO Ale
bany tonight to attend to-morrow's
vote in the Assembly, frankly admitted
as much, but she said it was eonsid-
cradle undertaking 10 keep the SUI
frage workers from storming the Capl~
toll as they have done in recent years.
Mrs. Laidlaw announced the appoint
ment Of an advisory committee OF nve
hundred women, representing every
class interested in woman suffrage.
The large delegations OF women who
found their way 10 Albany last winter
she said "have been almost forcibly
kept away from the Capitol. This COM
mittee has been formed partly 10 let
of steam, and partly because they are
such distinguished group Of women.

Samuel Smith, eight years old. and
Baldwin Tierney, nine, were playing
with a dozet other boys last night on
the ice Of the Harlem River az l8Oth

The two reluctant mariners bearing

made his way cautiously across the ice
20 the edge OF the water. and when the
ice foe and its crew got within reach
showed the pole across.
The two boys were toved 20 safety.
After they had dried out in the pump
ing station they wet 10 their homes az
