In "The Naughty Wife," the farce at
the Harris Theatre which has proved
one Of the real funmakers Of the pres
ent season. not a few Of the laughs
come from the perfectly calm, practical
manner in which the husband, whose
wife is about 10 clopc with another
man, takes the news. In fact, he feels
what ono might call fatherly interest
in the elopcment, gives his wife some
excellent advice and helps bit here
and there with the packing. Quite IN
usual for a husband. lis true, but quite
good for the farce. A bit Of the dla-
logue at this particular part of the
play, introducing sophisticated maid,
follows:
Hilary (the husband) - Annette?
Isn't she going with you?
Eloisc (the naughty wife of course
not.

making a great mistake. Half wom-
ans charm lies in her dainty freshness,

Hilary-Nonscnsc, my dear You
didn't suppose you could keep a thing
like that from the servants, did you?
From husbands, yes. From servants,
never! Now be sensible and take An

same at all when you're not carefully
coiffed and toiletted.
Eloise (angrily)-Indeed.

Eloise-This is positivel, indecent.
Hilary-The trouble with you is that
you are taking this whole thing too
prosaieally, my dear. An elopement is
romance, and it demands all the fit
tings of romance. You should have

Who Wrote the New
Maya Pantomime

Ono Of the oldest fairy stories in
the world, one so old that it far ante
dates written language, is being Wis
ualized at the Comedy Theatre. This
IS yum Chapab," the delightful pan
tomime on the bill of the Washington
Square Players, presented for the first
time Monday night. Translated into
English, the title means "My Lord, the
Dwarf" and the legend, which is one
of the oldest Of the Maya tribe, is the
one of the dwarf, born full-grown to a
barren woman, who became king Of the
tribe and married the beautiful prin-
cess.
The pantomimc was written by Bea-
trice de Holtoir and j. Garcia Pimen-
tel, and the designs for the sets and
costumes were made by Lucas Palaeio.
1t is little wonder that Mr.. Pimentel
has been able to keep the naive quail
ity Of the old tale in the pantomime,
because it was one of the first stories
which he ever heard. He Is Of an old
Spanish family, which for FIVE gener-
atoms has lived in Mexico. in the dis
trict where the Maya tribe -four
ished. To him the legends of the Mayas
are as familiar as the Mother Goose
stories arc to American children. Mr..
Palecio has lived in Mexico also, and
in Uxmsl has seen the House of the
Dwarf, and from il and the weavings
and the pottery of the tribe he made
the sketches which have been used for
the sets and costumes Of the psnto-

England Looks to New
York for Stage Material

The demand for bright entertainment
on the London stage during the war
period is bringing further investigation
of New York theatres by English stage
people. Lady Chetwynd, better known
in England as Rosa Lynd, associated
in several ventures with Gerald du
Maurier, is the newest conner from Lon
don. Lady Chetwynd, now in New
York, Is looking over the New York
field and intends travelling 10 the
Pacific Coast TO discover just how
radical the art theatre as well as the
commercial stage have become in
America. Lady Chetwynd is also look
ing for a short play to serve as a
vehicle for brief tour Of the Keith
circuits in the East.

A universal hope obtains in theatri-
cal circles that the first Of the new
year will bring marked improve
ment in business. The ebb tide has run
very low. The week after Thanksgiving
is usually the most profitable OF the
year. The townsfolk and visitors are IN
holiday mood and have not begun to ex-
pend their pin money on Christmas
presents. This year, however, there
was very little improvement over the
most depressing days Of the autumn.
Plays we're put on only 20 be with
drawn. One attraction took in 1925
at the first performance, $3.50 at the
second and s1225 at the next. Four
orchestra seats were the total sold al
one performance at another play. Even
the strongest drawing cards fell far
below their normal potential. Maude
Adams and David Warfeld, playing in
Boston, drew only half the expected
receipts at the figure Of some $1,000.
The new shows scheduled for Christ
mas and the first of the year look
very good. Among these are Charles
Uopkinss Arabian Nights with
Henry Kolker. Frank Gilmore, ". j.
Ferguson, Henry Stanford, Robert
Cber, William Raymond, Charles Hop
kins and Mrs. Hopkins; Going Up
which will probably be seen at the
New Amsterdam; The Rainbow Girl,
which is coming 20 the Liberty, and
the George ". Cohan Review, which
will feature Nora Bayes and John
OWalley. Raymond Hitchcock and
Morris Gest will take over the man
aeement of the Fulton Theatre with
q new review, words and Music"
They may restore the former prom
enade, restaurant and bar of the dis
astrous days of 1.-THE Folies Bergeres'
under happier auspices. "The Folies
Bergeres" lost some 100000 in the
hands of Henry B. Harris and Jesse
Lasky. which the FAlton has been
struggling manfully to pay back ever
since to the Harris estate. One OF
the notable coming events that casts
its shadow before is Oliver Morosco's
production of Alan Dale's "A Madonna
of the Future" which goes into re-
hearsal next week A new play By
Harry James Smith, author of "A
Tailor-Made Man." to be called "The
Teacher Of Goshen Hollow" will open
at Buffalo on Christmas Eve, with
Mary Ryan. who had the lead in ION

Lady Of the Camellias.' and in William
Faversham's production of "Lord and
Lady Algy."

Shovels Coal lncessantIy.

Dockery was engaged necessarily In
shovellng coal into the mouth of the
furnace beside us. And when he had
minute to spare he perched on the seat
behind me, peering out for the signals
which he checked with Demmer. Pick
ing the way through the scattered
houses Of the country we swung along
all along for space of many min
utes. Then Demmer shut down his
throttle little and we rounded
long curve. Ahead cleaned a deep
green light on the right side of the
track.

Screen II is," checked Demmer.
"That gives us the st. Charles
bridge" Dockery yelled into my ear
as Demmer opened the throttle again,
and I perceived we were mounting the
long trestle Of the approach. A sweep
ing curve brought us round gradually
and the searchllght centered finally
upon the girders and iron works of the
long bridge before us.
We entered the bridge and an In
terminable number of cross-pieces
passed the cab window like shadows.
Before US, the searchllght threw its
rays down the vista of steel. But we
had passed the headlights reach as
soon as we could visualize what it
showed us. Framed In by the net of
steel, the bridge was more than a mile
