the original New York cast. Previous

success between Chicago and San
| Francisco.
Every Good Eddie" is not only the
funniest farce that was ever staged

the Woods" "If l Find the Girl" 81
Love Them ALL" "On the Bench at
LIE Lei Wei" isn't 1t Great to Be

many others.
Songs, dances, laughter and vision
of lovely girlhood follow each other

of "Very Good Eddie" which has been
characterized by the leading critics of
the principal cities as the smartest
and brightest musical show that has
ever been offered to an American
audience. The engagement is for two
days only-Monday and Tuesday
June 4 and S, at the Boyd.

ACCUSES THE VATICAN
London Paper Holds It Largely Re.

LONDON. November 2s.-The Vatican
is accused in an editorial in the Morn
ing Post of being implicated in the
propaganda which. the newspaper says.
was largely responsible for tho recent
Italian reverses. Reviewing what II
describes as Vatican Vaccinations tbe
Post declares, that its political actiyi-
ties during the war "can by no sophfs-
try be regarded as consistent with the
principles Of neutrality"
From the beginning" says the Post,
''the Vatican has leaned to Austria q
side and lately has furtively, but ac-
lively. espoused the Austrian cause"
The newspaper calls on the British
government to look into the matter,
and demands that the Vatican declare
emphatically on which side it stands.
