"GRANDMOTHER'S AID"

In these times when everyone wants to
help, 1t IS very hard to feel that ones
active days are over Probably that
feeling comes home to one more in the
country than IN the city. In the country
the work and the crops are all calling for
the young and strong TO come and attend
TO them and the older folks think sadly of
the days when they could have taken hold
Where there is viii, however. the way will
not be found lacking and one woman IN an
Out-Ot-the way county OF one OF our big
states has started what might well be call
ed 'GrandmOther's Aid She realized
that farm work, even milking and churn
ing, was too much for her strength But
she argued why not do the other things
and leave the young women free to help
out-of-doors. Her own household was
simple, and. BY Ii. extra effort, she
was free several hours each day During
the harvest season she went to different
neighbors, took care of small children, did
the ironing, cooked the noon meal and
generally made It possible Tor the house
worker TO take the place IN the lelds OF
some boy who had been called to the tag.
Her accounts OF her experiences are very
amusing She said she soon found that II

their use was not lost. Is when she paid

FOR us.

They're fighting as we knew they would
And just as though they understood
That though three thousand miles divide
Our hearts are on the other side.
They're grabbing guns and stores and
tanks
Those glorious, outstanding Yanks
Are thinking of us over here
And giving us the right to cheer
They're driving back the brutal Huns,
They're standing bravely to their guns;
They re fighting, working, man and boy,
That we may thrill with pride and Joy
Out there where blood in rivers streams
They're living up TO all our dreams;
They're doing all that's fine and good
Exactly as we knew they would

CHORUS MAN, ADIEU!

Crystal gazers, cartomancers, star
readers and practitioners OF every
other profession that has to do with
foretelling the future, as we'll as the
unpsychic but observant patron of
first nights. agree that the choru
man as an adjunct or accessory OF
musical comedy is on the road to
extinction. The war made him scarce,
as draft boards refused to classify his
contribution to the country's industry
as essential; Charles Dillingham;, by
proving that his duties can be per-
formed by girl more attractively
and effectively than was possible for
him, has evidently put a period to
the writing on the wall The musical
comedy chorus OF the future will not
be considered a field for masculine
endeavor. Chorus men will be very
few and far between.

A TASMANIAN TENOR.

The question as to whether anything
good can come out OF Tasmania now
that the Tyre bird is extinct there Is
successfully answered in the person
OF Arthur Geary. whose beautiful
tenor voice is one of the big attrac-
lions OF Everything" at the Hippo
lrome.
For that voice is a pure Tasmanian
product. The singer was born III
Hobart some thirty-odd years ago and
early came into local prominence by
winning the national vocal cham
pionship" in one OF the singing con-
tests which remain a feature OF that
part OF the world. Encouraged by this
success he entered much larger con-
test at Balla-a:, Victoria, and once
more came off with flying Co.ors,, the
Judge not only awarding him the prize
but convincing the young mans par
entS that he should be sent TO London
| to enter seriously on his career as an
artist.
The advice was we'll founded, for as
soon as he was graduated from the
Royal College OF Music his resonant
tenor voice found him a good part in
! The Prince OF Pilsen." Geary then
essayed the concert field for a season.
but HIS dramatic ability-as marked
as his gift for singing-soon brought
him back to the field of light opera,
and for two years he played and
sang delightfully."- in the famous Ed
wardes production or the classic
Merry Widow" at the Gaiety Theatre,
London.
After that the young Tasmanian
sang his way round the globe, start
ing with two years engagement IN
South Africa and going on to visit
India, China and Japan. He then re-
turned to the Edwardes management
in London. leaving the London i'm
presarlo to come to America. He will
be remembered as the tuneful gypsy
| who sang and acted so admirably in
the first act OF the popular light
opera "Maytlme."
Earlier he had sung in such sue
cesses as THE Pink Lady" and Miss
| Hook of Holland" He has been a
member of the Winter Garden cast
and also appeared in The Passing
Show" Of 1928, as well as singing
lead at the local Theatre Franchise.
Mr. Geary's fine presence and dra-
matte distinction. coupled with his
lifts as a singer, find scope In several
effective songs in Everything" one
OF which occurs In the Atlantic City
scene. where he appears with Belle
story. prima donna, while another is
the beautiful Land OF Romance. +"
which introduces the Lampland Ballet.
Besides singing and acting Mr..
Geary has another accomplishment
md a rather unusual one. He is an
amateur Splinter whose perform
ances rival those Of many a profess
sional athlete. In fact 1t Is said that
he has outsprinted the swift moving
kangaroo on Its native heath. Al

And it is interesting to note that
the substitution OF the girls for men
was not simply the result of stage
directors dictum; they were selected
from a number of volunteers who
appreciated the fact that by prof
fering their services they were MAX
ing easy what promised to be a man
agerial difficulty. Intelligent stage di-
rection dictated the production for
Miss Sande rson Of a number in which
her own dainty femininity and a
particularly beautiful costume were
contrasted with the black ana white
of mems dress clothes. But the lack
OF chorus men made the staging Of
