Dave Marion Opens
Season at Columbia

The season at the Columbia Theatre
opened yesterday with "America's
pest" spectacular revue presented by
Dave Marion. The house was filled
principally at the matinee performance
with men in khaki and white linen. And
how they did enjoy the show!
1t was good show at that, one
OF the best the Columbia has had
and some of the girls are so pretty tn at
enc wonders how they ever escaped the
Follles' or the "Winter Garden"
Those who were not chosen for their
beauty, however, were chosen for their
voices, and as a whole the chorus us is
above the average, and every one knows
that a show is only as good as it's
chorus. 1t proves, too, that chorus men
are not necessary to the success of a
chorus. There are only four of that
nearly extinct type in "America's Best
and they are merely "non-essentials."
There is little girl named Eva Null
whom every one seemed to enioy
though we liked her much better after
she grew up and put on a pink satin
gown than we did in socks and slippers
and short frock
One of the scenes showed an Egyp-
tan city on the Nile and Cleopatra

Close Contests Predicted
In the contested districts, where
women haze filed their petitions over
the heads of the organization leaders
there promise to be some interesting
developments. Miss Rose M. Palmer
OF the 23d Assembly District, will enter
the primaries as an independent Demo
cratic candidate for nomination to the
Assembly. The district is seven to one
socialistic, but with Americanism and
woman suffrage as her platform, the
trends of Miss Palmer, who is law
yer. think the women may nominate
her. There has been no fusion in this
district, which would divide the oppo-
sltlon to the Socialist candidate
Charles Solomon, to his favor if il
were not for the suspicion abroad
among the women that he is not in
harmony with his party on the question
of woman suffrage and woman's rights
in general.
Other women who are fighting the
organization in their districts are Mrs
Anna Kraft, Democrat, of the 4th AS
sembly District; Mrs Katherine A
Dougherty, Democrat, of the 9th; Mrs
Julia Eppig, Democrat, of the 18th
brooklyn, and Miss Lillian Kieffer
Democrat, of the 18th, Brooklyn. Only
one Democratic woman, Mrs. Lilly, has
received the official sanction Of he1
party to run for office in this city.

Citizens to Supply
Comforts for Guards

The LIST Provisional Regiment, New
York Guard, the first regiment in the
history of the country to remain a year
in the field in state service, ended q
year of guarding the Aqueduct yester-
day, and is looking forward to fewer
privations and discomforts in the year
just beginning, as residents Of the
Aqueduct counties have formed COM
mittees to look after their welfare.
Justice George L. Genung, of the Mu-
nicipal Court, has taken charge as ex-
ecutive manager, representing the War
Camp Community Service.
The Aqueduct Guard Citizens Com
mittee, which, under the Craftsmanship
Of Alton B. Parker, has undertaken the
care of the soldiers, was organized at
Glenclyffe, the home of Stuyvesant
Fish, at Garrison-on the Hudson. On
the executive committee are William
Church Osborn, Finley j. Shepard.
James Speyer, Lewis Gouverneur Morris
and Roberts Walker.
The formation Of the citizens COM
mittee grew out Of report of condi-
tions and needs Of the soldiers, made
by Kenneth Widdemer, organizing sec
Community Service. In his report he
called attention to the fact that these
soldiers are guarding a territory many
miles in length, and in most cases are
located at isolated outposts. where they
have not even the necessary comforts
to make life endurable.
Committees have been formed, head
ed by Samuel Sloan, Mrs. James Speyer
Mrs. Peter Duryea Viola Allen), Mrs
Caspar Whitney, Mrs. f. H. Leggett
Mrs. r. II. Willis and Mrs. Roberts
Walker, to give the men some of the
comforts that are provided for the men
in training at National Army camps.

Perhaps the part was not we'll writ
ten and perhaps it was played too
hard and too consciously. Perhaps
neither conjecture is right, for the
audience seemed to be thoroughly
amused by the work of Miss Williams.
After all, that is about all that can
be asked of farce. It is practically
out Of the field of criticism, except
OF the most technical sort. 1t doesn't
touch life even with a finger tip, and
the critic can't palm off any of his
views on aesthetics or morals or any
thing else when dealing with farce
OF course, he can at times be shocked
if he can work himself up to sufficient
enthusiasm for such a state. She
Walked in Her Sleep" has one or two
bids TO chill the spine of the young
person, but its daring is entirely YER
bal and not extensive.
After ALL the statement, "She Walked
in Her Sleep" Is a pretty good farce
just about sums up the situation as We
saw it.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-08-13
By Haywood B1oun

"The usual complications" figure TO
large extent in "She Walked in Her
Sleep" but on the whole the new farce
at the Playhouse is workmanlike. In
fact, there is one distinct novelty. The
play Is by no means built solely around
slamming doors. One of the characters
always comes in by the window.
The piece is not quite expert, be-
cause there is slackening Of interest
IN the second act. But, on the other
hand, the last act, which wrecks so
many farces, is distinctly amusing.
The heroine of the piece is a somnam-
bulist, and naturally the only place
into which she can walk during the
course of farce is the bedroom of
young husband. That alone does not
suffice for the complications of the
farce. While in the room the sleep
walker picks up q small tube contain
ing deadly explosive which is war
ranted to ignite exposed to the air
This second phase of the plot seemed
TO be an afterthought. 1t emerged
only now and again. Most of the fun
arose on account of the sleep-walking
tendencies of the young lady
When ladies take to sleep walking
on the stage there is apt to be a
tragedy, such as Macbeth" or LA
Sonnambula," but nothing very much
ever happens to them in farce. At
least nothing that cannot be solved in
three acts. A happy ending was CRATE
ful enough last night. for Alberta Bur
ton, who played the heroine, was ex-
ceedingly pretty, and even in her wax
ing moments used soft and well
modulated voice. Perhaps the most ex-
pert performance was that Of Helene
Lackaye as suspicious and sophisti-
Gated wife. Arthur Aylesworth as one
of the suspected husbands was also
amusing. The fine, heavy voice OF
Walter Walker was a useful asset. He
was the man who shouted "Sit downI'
IN heavy bass now and again, as they
DO in all farces. He was also the man
who had the pistol.
We were not much amused by the
slavey as played by Eva Williams

ANNA HELD

London, singing the song with which
her name was closely identified in later
years here-"Won't You Come and Play
Wis Me ?"
This she sang when she made her
debut in New York, September ri, 1896,
in THE Parlor Match" 1t was at this
time that Miss Held was advertised as
ing the English language with some
success. she appeared as Alesia in LA
Poupee,' at the Lyric, New York, Oc-
tober FL, 1897. She also appeared in
later years in "Papa's Wife," 1.-The Lit
tie Duchess" "Mam'selle Napoleon"
and other plays, remaining on tour
until 1905. when she joined Weber &
Fields, appearing as Mimi in "Higgledy-
Piggledy' and Mrs. Trimely Dazzle in
''The College Widower" She later ap-
peared IS Anna in miss Innocence.
Sang for Soldiers
In later years she spent some time
in vaudeville. When the war broke
out she returned to France and de-
voted her time to the welfare of the
soldiers, singing for them in the hos
pitfalls. She returned to this country
two years ago and passed much time
from musical comedy she opened at
the Casino here on November 29, 1916,
In Follow Me-"
Miss Held was featured in this play
until early this year, when, on January
10, she was taken i'll in Milwaukee and
removed to hospital. There it was
learned she was suffering from my
leoma, a rare disease of the bone
marrow and bone tissues.
1t was the "forty-two centimetre"
eyes of Anna Held that won her most
fame. Rolling them vigorously from
side to side, and with shrug of the
along without any other facial" ex-
preston. The rolling eyes and shrug-
gng shoulders were used to advantage
when she appeared for a short time
in the movies.
Was Wife of Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.
Miss Held was once the wife of
divorce August 27, 1912, naming two
correspondents. According to Miss
Held's testimony, given before q ref
cree, she and Mr.. Ziegfeld had agreed
in the presence of witnesses hence
forth to be husband and wife, and from
that moment, she said, they appeared
as such before the world
Miss Held testified that the agree
ment was made on March 20, 1895, at
the Hotel Netherland She had come
to this country earlier in the year and
on that night Mr. Ziegfeld and a party
of friends called on her and the mar
riage by promise then took place, she
said. There were no children from the
marriage. After her divorce Miss Held
continued under the Ziegfeld manage
ment for some time
Miss Held is survived by a daughter,
