LYRIC

There Is no question that, in these

competition is $50 fierce that those
who succeed do so only at the ex-
pense of q tremendous output of en-
ergy. the majority of the people who
attend the theatre do 80 to be takel

play house recreation and relaxation
for their nervous organization.
To this much Of the success OF
'sQuincv Adams Sawyer" is doubtless
due. for as a celebrated dramatic
critic of the middle states mas ex-
pressed it. the play comes like

BOXES FOR YOUR
CANDIES

Don't you reve1 in the charming
containers in which the sweets you
buy or somebody else buys for you
now come?
They VARY 80 much to be sure, that
persons of dozens of different taste
might be pleased. But on the whole.
all of them are attractive.
Their greatest claim, of course. is
their timeliness. Anything that is
timely, especially in America is sure
to be successful. And the new candy
containers are many of them a patri-
otto sort.
One of the smart bonbon shops
shows boxes covered with narrow red,
white and blue stripes. Each cover
board figure of soldier or sailor of
one of the allied countries There
are nurses, too, in the Red Cross uni
form complete. These boxes Of can
dy are really quite gorgeous, and
would make most interesting place ia
vors, for anybody who wished to give
such expensive ones, at luncheon
or dinner of military sort.
Perhaps the most businesslike of
all the patriotic boxes is that covered
with khaki. 1t is as simple as can
be-just a box, round or square or OBJ
long, covered tight with khaki There
is no trimming. although If one wish
ed it might be bound about with red
white and blue ribbon.
Many otherwise unnoticeab1e boxes
are made appropriate to the time with
red, white and blue ribbon, tied about
them and knotted into huge hows.

PLAZA

The Aesthetic Dancers headlined
the Plaza's vaudeville program yes
terday afternoon. There were eight
of them including Bernicia, the little
one who WAS advertised as America S
youngest prima ballerina. The dances
they offered consisted of classical and
character dances with special scenic
embeIlishment Bernicia's work
brought round after round of ap-
plause from an appreciative audience
and the Egyptian dance by four 9TH
ers of the company was given a warm
reception. There are eight pretty
and clever young women in the act.
Holmes and Buchanan in Songs
of Yesterday" gave a most delightful

of remarkable voices that blend ex-

personality that enables one to put

more of such numbers encouraged in
vaudeville.
Loney Haskell whirled out upon
the stage last evening with a smile
that stretched from ear to ear and
greeted his audience with Hello

familiarity Of his remarks and they
kept him telling stories for over
twenty minutes when poor Loney, in
desperation, went In for the sublime
via of a little dramatic recitation per-
tanning to the war and the house
simply went wild with enthusiasm.

TOUCHING STORY IN
.. sTHE LAND OF PROMISE

Both literally and f1guratively the
title THE Land Of Promise" applies
in the play Of that name which Billie
Burke used as a starring vehicle in
the legitimate several seasons ago
and which will be her next picture
from Paramount. Manitoba, Canada,
is the locale. and to the friendless
little English girl who drifts into the
Dominion to find her brother, it is
literally a land Of promise. But in
the end, she finds that the promised
land is really in the happiness that
comes from true love, so there is also
the symbolic meaning.
There ia a depth Of dramatic power
to this play that renders it excep-
tionally touching and convincing. The
homely life of the great farming lands
OF the Canadian province, the strange
kinks in human nature that bring
about discord where there should be
harmony and at the end. the success
full and pleasing outcome. all tendA
to make a story that will not soon
be forgotten.
Needless to say, Billie Burke will
be an ideal Nora-since she created
the part for the stage. With the
greater scope Of the screen-the wide
reaches Of country as a background
from the shores Of England and
the peaceful precincts Of Tunbridge
Wells to the grain fields and towering
mountains of Canada-she is natur-
ally certain to respond with even
greater dramatic power than ever
before. Thomas Meighan. regarded
as an ideal leading man Of the man

etiquette

When speaking Of a nother-in law
or a sister-in-law one should drop the
in-law and speak of them as though
they were ones own mother or sister.
x. z. Z.-Since the young man did
not ask you to marry him before he
went away to the war. he cannot ex-
pect you to regard yourself as bound
to him in any way; therefore. it is
quite proper for you to go with other
young men during his absence. No
man has a right to object to atten-
lions paid by other young men to any
girl excepting the one to whom he is
engaged; and If he cares SO much for
a girl as to wish to monopo11ze her
he can easily establish his right to do
SO by engaging himself to her, If she
will accept him.

tess to pair off the couples when CIV

Having been cold-shou1dered out Of
society and the local country club
by the over-ambitious mother OF his
sweetheart, good-looking Saunders
Julian decides to make society and
the girls mother both change their
policy and welcome him with open
arms.
To carry out this project he calls
into play an old accomplishment of
his college days-that Of Disgusting
himself as a woman, and as 1.-THE
Countess Raffelsli" he completely
subjugates the social leaders who sad
hitherto scorned him.
There had been talk Of raising a
huge amount Of money for the Red
Cross and as Saunders Julian he had
promised a fabulous amount. As the
Countess he proceeds to raise money
in punches and is greatly amused at
the ease with which he is able to
fleece the men particularly.
The situation becomes tense and
the outlook is extremely doleful for

in a gale OF fun with, in addition, an
extremely substantial fund to the
credit Of the Red Cross.
