The charm in the story of Jim Blud-
So" which is at the Dixie today, lies
not so much in the plot as in witchery
of the river scenes with which 1t is sur
rounded. You feel that the river is per-
sonified as member of the cast; it is
q benevolent friend of the hero in mild
er moments and fierce and vindictive
5 villain when it overflows and wrecks
the little village on its banks. The life
story of Jim Bludso, the engineer, is
told against this picturesque and tur-
bulent background. "All the religion
he had was to treat his engine right"
but his forbearance with his erring
wife and his fierce loyalty to the dumb
negro dependent on him shows US that
lis square dealing was not confined to
her Of thrilling scenes such as the
breaking of the levee, the rescue from
the flood and the burning OF the sturdy
old steamboat, the Prairie Belle. By
the time that these spectacular scenes
are reached, the story has caught the
sympathy of the audience so thorough.
ly that they regard the wonderfully
realistic catastrophe with personal in
terest and suspense.
Wilfred Lucas creates a new and
very lovable character in the role o.
the obstinate, warm-hearted and fear
less engineer. Olga Grey plays the err
ing wife with charm and restraint and
George Stone as the six-year-old Lit
tie Breaches" gives touchingly nat
ural bit OF child acting.

idea that time has dealt kindly with
Mr.. Sidney. He's the same busy Izzy
Marks Of fifteen years ago in action,
but he's learned a lot of new things.
The result Of his annual redressing OF
bis show Is plainly evident. Every
thing is sparkling new and when the
chow lifts anchor tonight 1t will not
close a door behind 1t. Such attrac-
tons are always appreciated by the
discriminating Fairmont theatre.going

The fact that Miss Weber and Mr..
Sidney have been played up so strong
~ In the advertising gets one the i'm
preston that this pair is the whole
show, which is wrong, decidedly
wrong. Without detracting from this
pair of sterling entertainers it is a
pleasing fact, however. that they have
surrounded themselves with an even
+ ly balanced company. In the same de-
gree that Sidney and Weber are far
above the average musical comedy
stars the supporting company is pos
sessed OF unusual merit.
Tom Hanley is the chubby faced
! warbler whose work stood out like
house afire in the "Vassar Girls" show
which closed at the Hippodrome last
night. His rendition of sleep Baby,
Sleep" was indeed excellent and, pro.
fessfonally speaking, he ought to be in
4 better company, though it is fact
the final performance was hundred
per cent. better than the opening bill.
We could pick from it features that
would fit in all right with the Hippo
drome's slogan-"lf it's at the Hippo.
drome 1t must be good" But as
whole the show seems miserably d.
rected, and consequently got in bad
and was quietly ushered from the
boards last night.
when His Pipe Went Out" was put
over in an excellent manner and the
audience got great deal of satisfac-
tion, and, no doubt, some surprise, after
sitting through the greater part of the
performance enduring repartee that
couldn't hold a candle to the average
barber shop bon:mot.
But getting back to Hanley. We had
him by the hand for brief spell after
the show, professedly in Spirit OF CON
dolence. We learned in that brief mo-
ment that TON" is no ''piker," but is
working under handicap. He didn't
say so, but we saw it. Professional
jealousy is an awful thing and only
The successful show managers are able
to keep it out of the ranks OF their
players. And that's what we meant by
saying "The Vassar Girls" seem miser-
ably directed. Let's hope that when
the organization gets older this green
eyed monster" will be eliminated and
Tom Hanley will feel more at home
In his present company.
The show went to Martinsburg 70:
