Men and women even more difficult

FIGHT TO DECIDE
NATIONAL GUARDS
FATE is BEGUN
Resolution TO Transfer Troops
TO Federal Service Offered
at Albany


Albany. Jan. 1.-THE concurrent
resolution Of Assemblyman Robert
Nee. Marsh to abolish the National
Guard and transfer its officers, men
and equipment into the Federal service,
which was introduced tonight, prob
ably viii precipitate lively discus
sion on the question Of national de-
fence in the Legislature, but the lead
ers believe the resolution has little
chance Of passage. Mr.. Marsh said
ne had favorable opinions from many
members OF both houses and that he
intended TO make a hard fight for his
measure.
Legislators to-nighl expressed the
belief that the proposal wss too rad
zeal. Minority Leader Callahan Of the
Assembly said that the result would
be TO leave the state without protec-
tion in case of riot or other troubles.
They have got to show me that the
United States Army rather than the
National Guard was not at fault on the
Mexican border before viii support
any proposition such as that OF Nj.
Marsh" said Assemblyman Clarence +.
Welsh.
National Guard officers recognize
that compulsory military service is
coming. r. discussion Of this subject
win be embodied in the annual report
Of Adjutant General Stotesbury.
Assemblyman Schuyler Nj. Meyer, Of
New York. tomorrow will introduce a
bin calling for compulsory military
training for four weeks every summer
for all men between the ages of eigh-
teen and twenty-three except National
Guardsmen and honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors of the Federal
forces. The bill proposes to make all
who come under it take the Plattsburg
training that hitherto has been volun-
tary. Meyer believes that the Platts-
burg idea is the nearest the state can
come to compulsory service.

TWO PIANISTS EXHIBIT
SKILL AT RECITALS
Oliver Denton. Newcomer. Shows
Sense Of Rhythm and Power

There were two more piano recitals
yesterday, both at keolian Hall. Neither
was OF nature to call forth any great
amount Of enthusiasm, but both artists
seemed well grounded in the mechan-
ical part of their work and both showed
degree of taste and musicianship.
Oliver Denton, the afternoon per-
former, was n newcomer. In the Schu
mann "Etudes Symphoniques" he
showed a good sense of rhythm and
some power. He was Hess effective in
the Chopin fiat minor Sonata, as he
failed 70 realize the essential spirit Of
the work.
The evening recital was given by
Miss Muri Silba, who was heard here
last season. Her technique was ade-
quate but not brilliant, and the Chopin
B minor Sonata she played with some
feeling. Other numbers were the Bach
Tausig Toccata and Fuguc in ID minor,
Serenade of Rachmaninoff and the
List Etude in d fiat.

LEONA LA MAR AT COLONIAL
Girl with 1000 Eyes Appears to Have
loo Voices. Too

Leona La Mar, the girl with thou
sand eyes, is at the Colonial this week.
She should be called the girl with n
thousand voices, all OF them discord-
ant. Leona perhaps understands what
she II saying. II she does she has all
the best OF it, for no one in the audi
ence can tell what it is all about. DC
casionally one catches, "You are wor-
ried about your husband" or "You are
building a house" or some other phrase
which proves that Leona is really com
muning with souls. Toward the end
Of the performance one gets into the
state OF mind where he wishes that the
handkerchief used bind her eyes might
have been put to a better use. Posi-
bly, those with whom Leona conversed
understood what she said and were
embarrassed by it, for many left the
theatre as soon as her act was over.
Yyette, with bright red hair. did her
usual violin and singing act. She has
added TO il Hula song. which is per-

beautifully staged, and the costumes
and lighting effects arc novel.

ure appeared gown for each and

love o. Mike" is an agreeable, well
hammered and dainty musical comedy.
OF course, it is not all dainty. That
would be tircsomc. George Hassell
sees to it now and again that laughter
shall be loud and abdominal. The book
begins very well and tires little
in the last act Elassell is funny
throughout. For this, however, most
Of the credit must 90 to Hassell. He IL
superb low comedian "a high one,
too, when he Wills, and the vitality or
his humor is such that he can arouse
laughter merely by humping his head
against a piano or by smashing his
finger with hammer. In other words,
we think George Rasseu is very funny.
Peggy Wood, with her pleasing, we'll
trained voice, does the singing honors
nicely. Jerome Kern is the librettist,
and in "Well See" and "A Lonesome
Little Tune" he has given Miss Wood
two excellent opportunities.
IL is hardly fair that Peggy Wood
should sing so nicely. for she is also a
good actress and carries of light
comedy scene with a deft touch. More
over, she was recently represented by a
bit Of free verse in vanity Fair" This
would be too much were il not for the
fact that Miss Wood still sings and
acts better than she writes.
The book is the product of the sons
Ctwo) of Augustus Thomas and Harry
B. Smith. II is pretty good book,
with an excellent surprise for the first
act. We must admit that we thought
the Joke about being light on dance
partners feet was better the first time
we heard il than in the NTH and tnal
twist to which il was put. The elder
Thomas and the elder Smith need not
worry vet. There is more drama in
"The Witching Hour" than in Love
o. Mike" and the lyrics which Harry
Smith wrote for last nights song,
Baby Vampire" are just a bit more
amusing than any of the prose pas
sages i'm the entertainment. Robert Nc
Quinn's scenery is colorful, but restful,
and the gowns and hats and all that
sort of thing seem TO fit.
Naturally. there must be a drawback
TO a show with all these pleasing feat
ures. There is no chorus. We say
drawback because we believe that II
will hurt the business in New Haven
and Boston next season, and because
even hereabouts there may be those
who like TO point and count three from
the left or four from the right, as the
case may be. Here it is possible to
concentrate, but not too closely, for
there are a host of principals, all pretty.

The suffragiSts observed the tactics
and prepared themselves for what is
the big event Of every day. They
dipped their banners, demanding to
know Of Mr.. President how long he was
going TO keep them waiting and what
he was going to do about it, You would
have thought the banners contained the
most fattering fluctuations from the
character Of the ceremonies. The suf-
fragists smiled respectfully; the Presi-
dent took of his hat and bowed low, as
if he were knight Of old. Mrs. Wilson
was with him. Everybody who has
heard about the ceremonies to-day has
demanded TO know how she took them.
Was she cutting?" asked one woman.

COLUMBIA SHOW PLEASES
Liberty Girls Has No Chorus-Eyery
Girl Has a Part

There is rollicking show at the
Columbia this week. II is called "The
Liberty Girls" in "Rilcys Vacation"
Every burlesque show has two names,
and neither of them ever suggests in
any way what it is all about. Jack
Conway is the feature. but there are
many others. For instance, the prima
donna is handsome and seems TO have
a sense of humor, and rather a good
voice. There is no chorus; they are
individuals, each with her name on the
programme and each with some lines
TO declaim.
Then there is an amusing burlesque
on musical comedy. Some of the best
musical numbers are Evening Shadows
Fall" "a Small Town Girl" ocean Of
Love and "The Hippodrome."
