PRINCESS PAT"

The Princess Pat" at the Grand
last night does not make it necessary
for the reviewer to ransaek his rid
died vocabulary for superlatives. The
production was hardly broadway
company"
Dorothy South as Princess Pat"
was excellent. She put cayenne into
the whole production and has real
personality. In addition. she was in
full possession of a very good voice.
But her voice awaited herself little,
for the music in Princess Pat" eX-
hibited the Victor Herbert tide at its
lowest ebb. Occasionally there were
bits of beautiful writing. But there
was nothing that the audience whis-
tied all the way home, and some of
it was very stale brew, despite Vic
tor Herbert. THE Arrival of the
Princess Pat" the duet For Better
or Worse" and "All for You" were the
high points of the score.
Ethel Boyd also possessed a good
voice and besides has pulchritude to
the ninth degree, earle Stow as BOD
barrow was effective. DIN Powers
got the requisite number of laughs
out of his Anthony Schmalz' role Il
has been some years since the Village
constable has been in musical COM
edy, and it is generally thought that
he was relegated 20 the 10-20-30. But
princess Pat sported a village con-
stable as its chief comedy asset And
it must be granted that Charles Mey-

time he stepped on the stage. He pro

some new "rube'' stuff Stanley

5TH DAY, NO FOOD
Hunger Striker Grows So Weak
Taken to Hospital.
As Press Agent Stunt, However,
It's a Great Success.

New York, Jan. 26.-Mrs. Ethel
Byrne, militant birth control advo-
cate, who has been on hunger strike
for five days, was removed from her
cell to the hospital on Blackwelfs
island today This was disclosed in
an official bulletin regarding her con-
commission of correction, in which it
was stated that Mrs. Byrne was no
ticeably weaker.
Authorities are receiving constant
reports on Mrs. Byrne's condition
thru DIR. Irma Howard, the prison
physician. They declared that if Dr.
Howard says at any time that Mrs
Byrne should be fed, food absolutely
will be given her They did not desig-
nate the method.
Refuse Mrs. Sanger Admission.
Commissioner Lewis refused Mrs
Margaret Sanger, sister of Mrs. Byrne
permission to visit the hunger striker
in her cell today. Lewis explained no
special favors will be granted Mrs.
Byrne.
Today's bulletin said it would be an
easy matter for Mrs. Byrne to obtain
water or food without knowledge of
the prison authorities.
Mrs. Byrne, herself declared her
tongue and throat were very dry and
that she was suffering considerable
discomfort from nerves"
Shrieking inmates of the gloomy
prison, beating on the bars of their
cells and calling on God to avenge
their wrongs, startle Mrs. Byrne from
her sleep, she told visitors, and she
lapses into fitful sleep to dream weird
dreams Then she wakes again to
think of her children-one a boy in
high school and the other a girl in a
convent. She says she has not told
them she is in jail-not that she is
ashamed, but because she did not
think it necessary.
Dcfies Feeding by Force.
The militant advocate of birth con-
troll expected to win her fight today.
She believed she would become so
weak before the end of the day that
something would have to be done.
They can't feed with a tube she
said. THAT plan wasn't found prac-
ticable in England and it won't be SO
with me. And they haven't any cat
and mouse act by which they can re-
| lease me and then re-arrest me. !
will win my battle for freedom"
| Hospital authorities. after examin-
ing her, said she was in no immediate
danger. Mrs. Byrne. who is trained
nurse. is keeping tab on her own con-
dition. Her training enables her to
judge when forcible feeding will be re-
sorted to.
Advocates of birth control declared
that Mrs. Byrne's hunger strike is ac-
complishing all that she intended by
giving prominence to their crusade.

SUFFRAGISTS GET CHEER
FROM RUSSIAN REVOLT
Promise That Women There Shall
Vote to Be Used as
Lever.

Encouraged by the announcement
that the women of Russia are to re-
ceive full political rights under the
new regime, the woman's party will
continue its fight with greater deter
mination than ever before, for a consti-
tutional amendment granting woman
suffrage. If actual war in Russia does
not block the enfranchisement of Rus
sian women then. in the opinion of the
National Woman's Party, neither
strained international relations nor
war itself should serve as an excuse
for longer delaying the national en-
franchisement of American women
With war raging on all sides, HoI-
land has changed its constitution so
that il no longer stands in the way OF
woman suffrage. and the fact that five
Canadian provinces have given full
suffrage to women since the beginning
of the European war also is pointed
out as another reason why the women
of the United States should have the
vote.
Miss Anne Martin of Nevada. national
vice chairman of the woman's party
and chairman Of the legislative COM
mittee. has telegraphed all the state
chairmen and the state legislative
chairmen of the organization to ask
President Wilson to include the fed
eral suffrage amendment in his leRis-
latIve program and to recommend its
passage during the special session of
Congress.
