Expert Accountant Testifies
The trial was resumed today with
W. Doyen, an expert accountant, again
on the stand To refutc charges made
hy Monsignor Bolo, brother Of the de-
PENDANT. that Doyen had dishonored
himself by classifying portion Of his
original report on Bolo's activities. The
witness spoke with great reserve and
moderation declaring merely that he
took exception to the form in which
these criticisms were presented by a
man who strangely abuses the moral
authority conferred on him ny the
cloth he wears" NJ. Doyen then reit
Grated ana explained IN detail the pOl

"rs brother had challenged
Nfter VI. Doyen had testified, Mon
~icnor Roo again took the stand and
reiterated his attacks of yesterday, es
pccially on the authenticity of the tele-
grams of Count Won Bcrnstorff. former
German ambassador to the ~ United
states. duplicates Of which. he insisted
should be produced rather than to rely
on American state department docu-
mcnts. When the prosecutor repeated,

Maurice Niolette. former minister of
subsistence, testified that the current
opinion in Parliamentary and minis
terial circles in August. 1917, was that
no case would be found against Bolo

Ister of war. had asserted that the
ease did not warrant an arrest.

What Could the Poor Girl Do?" is
8 play with one chief purpose and that
is 10 be as funny as it can. Its success
IN crowding maximum number Of
laughs into one evening wss testified 10
by an audience that alternately laughed
and spplsuded from start 20 finish.
The fun Of the play Is due very
largely 10 the inimitsbls cleverness OF
the star, Ernest Truck. In less able
hands II would lose considerable OF its
humor. Mr.. Truck edds TO a comical
situation by his own irresistible fun
niness OF expression and movement. At
8 Monday rehearsal the star was struck
by a piece Of scenery, cutting his face
shout the eyes and leaving one Of his
eyes In bad condition. In spite OF the
accident he insisted upon playing last
night, a Fsmeness 10 which the audi
encs paid the tribute Of an ovation when
ne appeared upon the stage.
The hero OF the farce Is an easily
hypnotized man. In the first act be Is
found in a hotel room, worn out with
business cares. IN order 10 give him
good nights sleep. a doctor has hypno-
tied him, and while under that influ-
enoe has commanded him 10 get into
the bed in that room at 10 o'clock and
sleep soundly all night. All this takes
place IN the early evening. Shortly
afterwards the hotel management trans
fers the hero 10 an adjoining room In
order 70 let two newlyIweds have the
bridal suite.
At 10 o'clock, while the bridegroom
Is out hunting luggage, the leading
man, following his hypnotic commands,
comes back to the bed IN the first
room. Hearing the brides screams his
friend and a walter take him bsck
where he belongs. but the moment ne
Is released the hypnotized sleeper re-
turns. During the excitement the bride
groom returns and refuses 10 listen 10
explanations. The resulting complica-
tions and their untanglins anoro
further merriment.
W. J. Ferguson, as the waiter was .
delightfully funny person. The gigan-
tio Alphonse Either as the raging, re-
vengeful husband contrssted humor-
ously with his tiny wife and with Mr..
Truck, who Is small OF stature. Leila

handled their parts cleveriy. Robert
Ober. as q long-suffering friend, gave
excellent support 10 the star.
The play will be popular with all who
are looking for an evening OF genuine
good fun and iollity. II Is one Of the
funniest plays that has come to the
Playhouse this season. There will be
performances every night this week
