Belasco.


The title "Billeted" has such a mar
tial ring that many of those who made
UP the large audience at the BeIasco
Theater last night expected a war play
with the awarding OF the Legion of
Honor Cross at it's climax. But Mars
faded into insignificance by the domi-
nance of Lares and Penates, for be-
more attention than through the clicking
of knitting needles and the uniforms of
Col. Preedy and Capt. Rymill There
is no attempt to stir the patriotic emo
lions nor effort to show the need of
doing ones bit. From countries that
have been longer in the great war than
the United States have come stories
that their peoples like diversions not
suggesting dangerous missions into the
enemies lines or exploits in no mans
land; and it is easy to understand. on
that ground. the popularity of Bill
leted'' in England. 1t is a delightful
diversion from the many hours of more
serious contemplation.
The complication which furnishes the
plot comes about through sincere at
tempt of an unbusineSslike woman to
do her bit of working soldiers" to
borrow from the play the English
entertain the men in uniform when they
are off duty. Betty Taradine's husband
disappeared from home following the
arrival of a few extra bills the first of
Africa and had not notified her of his
whereabouts since. To do her bit Betty
rented the manor house at PetwoTthy
and offered to billet officers of the
camp nearby. Her generous nature ex-
ceeded her allowance. and in her finan-
cial straits she decided q dead husband
| and live life insurance policy would
furnish an easy way to settle the over
draft at the bank. Just after she had
announced the receipt of the sad news
the deceased turned up as one of the
officers billeted at her home, but under
| the name of Capt. Rymil1. The result
| ing discomforts for Mrs. Taradine fur
nish multitude OF laughs. and the
| play is farce rather than a comedy.
Miss Anglin's Interpretation of Betty
Taradine is delightfully."- droll. furnish
| ing the greatest amusement of the
evening. As the entertainment de-
ponds more on the situations than on
the lines for its laughs, the business
which Miss Anglin employs is most i'm
portant to its success. The supporting
company is excellently well balanced
and strong. Edward Emery. with a
twinkle in his eye, was a capital Capt
Rymill, easy and natural throughout.
Phyllis Birkett was an effervescent
Penelope Moon, while Roland Rushton
gave humorous touch to the role Of
the Rev. Ambrose Liptrott-a role it,
self of doubtful propriety except pos
sibly in an out-and-out farce Lang
don Bruce gave an English flavor to
his Col. Preedy, while Howard Lindsay
furnished an amusing character sketch
as the Scottish banker, Mr.. MacFar-
lane.
The one setting for the three acts,
with its cretonne hangings, was a de.
light to the eye.
