NationaI-aRambIer Rose


Around about Labor Day the the
atergoer's fancy lightly turns to
musical comedy and the pretty girls
and other things that go with it.

goers are looking forward with

is in store for them at the National

Rambler Rose" which is this
years Charles Frohman musical
comedy production and IL is said
to be a particularly lavish presen-
tation of its kind. To most people
the fact that Julia Sanderson and
Joseph Cawthorn are the stars is
sufficient guaranty of the worth of
the attraction. But besides that 1t
is worth while to know that the
music is by Victor jacob. who
wrote the tuneful score of "Sybil,"
and the book by Harry B. Smith.
The piece tells a really interesting
story about the adventures of lit
tie American girl in England and
France and how she picks her own
husband and gets him as American
girls have a way of doing. Miss
Sanderson impersonates the girl. or
course, - and II is a role that gives
her many opportunities nut OhAg
to sing and dance her prettiest. but
also TO show her talent as COM
edienne. For Mr.. Cawthorn there
is a regula Joe" Cawthorn part
one in which he can make. all the
laughing" he wants to. He also has
his usual special song, written for
him this time by Irving Berlin
The scenes OF the play are laid
in England. at a girls school. in an
artists studio in Paris and in the
Casino garden at Deauville, France,
and the stage of settings are remark
ably picturesque. The cast of prin-
cipaIs includes Ada Meade. Kate
Sergeantson, Gladys Siddons. Ethel
BOYD, Doris Predo. Wilma Walton,
Thomas Conkey. Stewart Baird and
George aE. Mack. And there Is
numerous chorus OF girls picked for
their good looks and their ability
and Willingness TO sing and dance.

company will go direct to the En-
pire Theater. New York, where 1t Is
announced to open the regular sea-
son at that popular house.

ton should subscribe for $10,O00,000 Of
the war bonds, going beyond the mini

represent all that the Treasury expects.
Indeed, it looks for a large oversub-

to that oversubscription.
This is a patriotic duty. 1t is not a
mere financial transaction, not simply a

Every citizen is under obligation to do

The French Mission Safe Home.

1t is announced that NJ. Viviani, Gen.
Joffre and other members of the French
war mission have arrived safely at Brest
on their homeward voyage. This is the
first intimation that the people of this
country have had that the French Wis
itors had left, save as the fact of their
departure may have been privately de-
duced from the fact that no further
news of their activities here was being
published.
1t is with a feeling of genuine relief
that the American people learn of the
safe return of the mission, although the
dangers from submarines were undoubt-
edly minimized by the presence Of arm
ed patrols throughout the voyage. The
truth is that the submarine peril has
been greatly lessened by the arming of
ships. The submarines do not nowadays
attack war craft, conining their atten-
tion to unprotected merchantmen.
The visit of the French mission was
a profitable one for both France and
the United States. 1t brought the two
countries into closer relations and gave
to this government the benefit of ad-
vice and information of value in the
prosecution Of the war. 1t was an in
spiration to the American people, and
they rejoice now that the missioners
have so speedily and safely reached
home.
