Is the clever grouping of three of the
feminine principals. Like the famous
three little maids from school, in
The Mikado." 1t is seldom that one Of
the trio is seen on the stage without
he other two, and they are invariably
.ogether in the pictures" and scenes.
While their roles may not be so promi-
aent as those provided by Gilbert and
Sullivan for Yum Yum, Pitt Sing and
Peep Bo, their individuality and per.
sonality, good looks and graceful
dancing have attracted much more
than passing interest. and their special
numbers are warmly received.
The young women are Helen Clarke,
Miriam Collins and Helen Barnes. In
appearance, except for height. they
are in complete contrast. Miss Barnes
has hair so dark as TO be almost black;
Miss Clarke is a decided blond, while
Miss Collins has a wealth Of hair
with a leaning to auburn. With the
exception Of Miss Clarke their faces
are new to the clientele OF the Princess.

for their professional attachments and
in "Oh. My Dear" both Miss Collins
and Miss Barnes are having their first
experience in musical plays. Miss
Clarke has been a professional dancer
for three years. The Misses Barnes
and Collins formerly had danced and a

Miss Clarke is not new to the

OF her professional career has been
spent in that theatre. She was born
In New York city and was "discov-

was attracted by her dancing and
promise Of excellent stage work. Miss
Marbury gave her protege a prominent
place in the cast of Nobody Home"

at the Princess. Miss Clarke danced

The plot OF the play hinges on the
couplet voiced by the Lady Doll:
IL we can psss our little hour OF life
without an unkind word
And free from strife, we break the
spell that binds u.s.
The play was admirably performed by
the students: the solos In which the sad
plight OF the Lady Doll Is set forth and
the characteristics of the soldier an
nounced were particularly good.
The orchestral music, furnished by the
Marymount orchestra, was as follows

FROM THE LITTLE BROTHER. ,

In his characterization OF Rabbi
EIkan in Walter Hasts production OF
THE Little Brother" at the Belmont
Theatre Walker Whiteside incidentally
expounds many principles that make
for an Ideal state OF society. In the
closing scene OF the play the author
tells with poetic beauty OF his great
hope in the brighter dawn OF an I'M
Outstanding humanity, humanity
free from bigotry and petty racial
prejudices and free from the time old
hatred that has always marked the
sentiments Of opposite creeds.
'Oh. what wonderful day that will
he" the Rdbbi EEkdn says, when
those jealousies those seemingly ir-
reconcilable differences. will cease TO
exist and all humanity will unite
hands in endeavoring TO achieve one
great aim. the betterment OF sociologi-
cal conditions, which will be a greater
step toward the ridiculed Utopias than
perhaps any othky effort. What nu-
merous and mighty deeds might be ac-
complished for the benefit of all man
kind through the concerted efforts OF
all humanity! What rapid steps in
science, philosophy and an enlightened
civilization could be made II perfect
harmony existed between the different
peoples!
But the day is rapidly approaching.
We must no longer jeer at those who
predict its coming as dreamers of i'm
possible Utopias; never before since
the beginning OF things has that won
derful day seemed a more certain
event. The great struggle just termi-
mated has perhaps served as the great
est unifying factor since religion be-
gan. During this struggle creed and
prejudice were forgotten; men united,
Irrespective of religious differences,
and fought for honor's sake side by
side. living the same life, sharing the
same quarters, breaking bread at the
same mess table and subject to the
Identical perils and hazards.
"These things portend a mighty sig
nificnnce. They are the forerdnners OF
great period Of enlightenment which
Is to follow, and very soon. Man is be-
ginning TO realize that clear con-
science, pure heart. answering adj
herence to the principles of human
ity. Justice and the laws OF God are the
only requisites necessary to insure be-
havior that is pleasing to the All
Highest"

McRae has proved his ability to sue
