1t is entirely ntting that Mitzi,l
name should be printed in larger
type on the program at the National
this week than the name Of the pro-
duction-"Heat over Heels." =
For MitzE-that irresistible. bit OF
dainty femininity for whom one can
forgive Vienna many of her crimes
is the whole show, or at least 90 per
cent of it.
Eyes and ears are more than salts
ned with Mltzi-the former more par
ticularly when Mitzi wears the cos
tune OF q member OF the Bambinetti
family OF acrobats. And that brings
us to the story
Mitzi Bambinetti falls in love with
Edward Sterling while the latter
tours Europe. She persuades Signor
Bambinettl to take the troupe 10
America that she may be near Ster-
ling, but she finds that her idol has
been playing with her. Nevertheless,
she finds another ,lover-and this
time an earnest one--in Bob Lawson,
Sterling's law partner. A misunder-
standing develops and things look
black for the romance, but finally the
whole matter Is nicely adjusted. And,
Of course, the final curtain descends
while Lawson holds his arms where
most OF the male members of the
audience would like to have theirs
around Mitzi. -.
The music, with, which the piece
sparkles Is OF the ultra-jazz variety.
There are poppy tunes galore. but
none more delightful or memory
lingering than Mitzi's THE Big
Show" song. 1t gives her ample OPP
portunity to demonstrate the sweet
beauty OF her voice. and at the end
breaths are held that one may not
miss the last few notes. Other song

Mitzi, whose delicious personality
dominates every bit of the produc-
tion. Though she is much. on the
stage, one cannot help but wish that
she were there more. From her first
entrance to the final curtain, she
sways the audience through a gamut
OF emotions with bewildering rapid
ity, and every little bit OF business on
her part-and there are many-tickles
the audience into new fits of applause

TURKIE T
THE PRESIDENT.
BY BILL PRICE

Although Santa Claus and his rein
deers will not disport themselves on
the roof OF the White House tonight.
nor will there be a beautifully be-
decked holiday three in the big rooms
= tomorrow, a touch of Christmas
around the home OF the President to-
day was the distribution of 140 large.
fat turkeys to al married men work
ing in or around the building and
grounds.
One OF the last orders given by
President Wilson before sailing was
that this custom of many Presidents
should again be followed. The tur-
keys were selected by attaches of the
White House and they went to every
man of family, including policemen
and workers generally.
In these days of high-priced turkeys
the presents were valuable. Coming
from the President. far away on a
mission for his country, the remem-
brances were doubly pleasing to the
recipients.
Old attaches Of the White House do
not remember just when the custom
of distributing turkeys to married
men began. President Cleveland is
