GAYETN.

Sparkling burlesque, a syncopated
version of Uncle Toms Cabin, and a
number OF vaudeville acts thrown in
for good measure, make Jacobs and
Jermon's "Burlesque Review" at the
Gayety this week, one of the best
shows of the season.
Harry X. Morton and ZeIla Russell
are the stars of the big company,
and they are favorites In Washing
ton. Morton's comedy methods are
unique and his dancing excellent. Miss
Russell has a pleasing voice. and her
piano speciality is one of the fea-
lures OF the show.
Danny Murphy proves a good foil
for Morton, while others who add ma
terially TO the success OF the show
are Harry O,Neal, Roy Peck, Mile.
Julia De kelety and Flossie Ever
cite. A series of living art poses and
spicy cabaret scene feature the sec
ond act. The chorus is good looking
and has dancing and singing talent.

DRAMA LEAGUE.

Augustus Does His Bit" G. Ber-
nard Shaw's lampoon on conditions in
England during the earlier stages of
the war, was given its American pre-
miere by the Drama League Players
at Polls last night.
Shaw needs no world war for an op-
portunity to turn the spotlight Of his
rather peculiar form of pltiless pub
licity upon his countrymen.
Britain may have ''muddled
through" in the first year OF the war.
but Shaw saw to it that no oppor-
tunity was lost in jabbing his sarcas-
tic ouips into his compatriots.
Augustus Does His Bit" Is Shaw
in fine form, and incidentally, the
Drama League Players, three in num-
Der, at their best. The offering was
presented by G. A. Lyon, who took the
part of Lord Augustus Highcastle, a
recruiting officer; Maud Howell
Smith, clever as the Lady. and Louis
McHenry Howe, the clerk. who is
typical OF the grumbler over war con-
ditions, high prices and the like.
The program footnote explains con
ditions as portrayed in the play do
not obtain now. which is a gentle
compliment to Shaw's bit in having
done the little play. Certain II is that
in Pifflington and gave q small but
enthusiastic audience a chance TO
draw an amusing conclusion.
Augustus was sent from the front
to Pifflington to recruit. after having
flRttened a German bullet with. his
head. He was returned TO England
by a German commander who refused
TO exchange Augustus because he was
sure there was no German OF equal
brain power. Augustus is the victim
Of a clever little plot arranged by
the Lady and a practical joker OF d
cousin in the war offica.
The Admirable Bashville." the first
presentation on the double bill might be
termed n humOTesque. The Drama
League Players found the three-act fan
cy TO their liking. as did the audience
which was enthusiastic over the reading
of the Shavian dialogue.
Shaw has burlesqued the helress.
Lydia Carewe. the prize fighting Cashel
Byron, who speaks the blank verse OF
Shakespeare. and the foppish Lucian
Webber. a British dandy. The Admir-
able Bashville" serves as an excellent
vehicle for Maurice Jarvis. the Cashel

the part Of Lydia; Robert Bell, as Lu-
clan webber. and John Bentley Tuttle.

found so tiresoms SAd ths audience
so delightful. -
As John Tarleton, Maclyn Arbuckle
is ideally cast. His broad comedy
makes the character delightfully."- hu-
morous. a sort of an old reprobate
one likes in spite OF oneself. As the
daughter Hypstia, Miss Elizabeth Ris-
don is a charming person whose ideas
are very shocking, but whose per-
sonality is pleasing. JOSEPH McManus
gives an interesting portrayal of the
young socialist, anarchist, or what
not, come to avenge a wrong done
years before to his mother, while Mrs,
Edmund Gurley has the sympathetic
role OF Mrs. Tarleton. Katherine
kaelsted is the Polish woman who
must need risk her life daily as
matter of family pride.
George Fitzgerald as Lord Summer
hays and Philip Leigh as his son,
with Frederick Lloyd as young Tarle-
ton, complete an excellent cast.

COLUMBIA A CLEAN CITY.
(The Columbia Record)

We know that there are some verv
wise men in this community and we
dislike to make any statement that
will be contrary to their way of look
ing at matters. Yet we must protest
against any statement that the segre-
gated district of Columbia should not
go.
This is a matter in which no option
is left to Columbia. The secretary of
war insists upon clean and healthy
moral conditions in all neighborhoods
where the national army is encamped.
Columbia is not a wicked city, nothing
like Charleston, Pensacola, Memphis
and other water front cities in the
South. The order has gone out for
| Charleston and Pensacola to get the
mop and the suds and clean up.
Memphis has undertaken on her
own responsibility to get rid of vice
conditions and claims to have done so.
There is no denying the fact that the
city of Washington has been made a
moral community, or largely so, by
the action of her own citizens.
The conspicuous example of Atlanta
is pointed out to prove that a city
must have segregated district-or
worse. Admitting that Atlanta did
fail, that proves nothing. Atlanta had
such corrupt local politics that jim
Woodward could be elected mayor.
That is why Atlanta's efforts may
have failed.
Just as in former days the liquor
element controlled Columbia and kept
this city flooded with liquor until
Governor Manning came into office.
1t is not likely that those former law
less conditions will return. The people
of Columbia see the good effects of
prohibition, no matter how objection
able was the method by which it was
obtained. Liquor in open sale will
never be put upon this community
again.
The vice problem may not be as
easy to handle as the liquor question,
but it can be handled-and it will be.
If the city of Columbia does not do it,
the State government will. Governor
Manning has the right, and he would
assume it, to put metropolitan police
in Columbia. Should he fail, the fed
eral government would exercise it's
rights.
Columbia is not such a dreadfully
immoral place, by comparison, and it
will not require anything but an hon
est and sincere administration of law
to keep out an undesirable element.
They that are here must go. Others
must be warned to stay away.
Columbia is not being singled out
by Secretaries Baker and Daniels.
Even city of the size of Philadel-
phia has been given it's orders. We
read in\ the North American of july
Ia that a condition of immortality
threatened soldiers and sailors in that
great city, and the government gave
the State and the city a certain time
within which to "clean up" the city.
In other words, no matter what
this or that man says, the policy of
the war department is to clean up
such conditions and that policy will
be carried out, even if it does hurt
the tender feelings of property own
ers who have leeched themselves into
fatness of dirty dollars, through the
lives of poor girls whose souls have
gone out into darkness that men might
have money.
Columbia will be moral city.
