musical comedy organizations in the
west, where she is favorite. Blanche
Ring returned to Washington last
night at keith's and had little trouble
in recording success. Equipped with
several new songs. which she sang in
her own inimitabIe style. Miss Ring
gained the sincere applause of her
friends and quickly added new ones to
esty was heartily applauded.
Another number that went well was
a little musical comedy sketch with the
title Some Bride presented by John
Nc'ioWan, Adelaide Mason and lceta
Corder. The singing and dancing were
above the ordinary. James Watts, as
sisted by Rex Story, had the miSfor-
tune of closing the program, or he
would have scored a big hit, as his
comedy did not prevent him from prov
ing himself a dancer of merit.
Kisses" has been seen here before,
but the unusually clever acting OF Will
liam GaXton scored as we'll as on its
first presentation. FIorrie Miilership
and Al Gerard have a pretentious
number in The Girl on the Magazine"

This piece was last seen here with Jo-
seph Santley in the leading role. Page
Hack and Mack have a good acrobatic
turn, while Lloyd and Wells are ecccn-
tEic dancers of ability.
The little mimic. Mignon, was too
sick to appear last night, and the
Grays, in singing and dancing act
proved good substitutes.

Kitty Gordon is the attractive star

German spies and munition PLANTS,
mingled with Whimsical romance.

short that she decides to take mat

guised chauffeur she dashes into a
tunnel connected with the plant at the
instant OF an explosion, and the two
find themselves heinmed in by the
ruins. Although Grace had told the
chauffeur she would discharge him as

Polls.

Whatever may be the feelings of the
world politicians, the fact remains that
the American theater patron seems to
have a fondness for the Japanese in
art and entertainment The seeds of
this admiration were sown in the days
when Gilbert and Sulliyans "Mikado"
Gawned upon tho amusement world,
and even The Mayor of Toxic" a poor
successor, has doubtless reapeG the

and the large audience seemed thor
oHShlE delighted with its presentation
by the Poll musical comedians and
choristers. To add to the Japanese at
rogThc-e a quartet of Eipponese aero
duced in the performance and help TO
share the applause fer their inter-
polated exhibition that has nothing
whatever TO do with the story Of the
play. But this really does not matter
so far as the plot is concerned, for
the mayor of Toxic" is a strangely
human creation, with the grasping ten
denotes of the American politician, and
a stranded American theatrical troupe
helps further to dilute the japanese
flavor to help out the entertainment
The play is creditably staged, and
the Poll players, each of them, score
more or less of a hit with his or her
character creation. Matt Hanley makes
