MODERN VERSION
Of ENOCH ARDEN
At THE GAYETY

The story of Enoch Arden appears
In modernized form at the Gayety
Theater this week. where Frank Fin
ney. chief comedian with the "Bos-
tonian Burlesquers." has produced a
dramatic sketch embodying the same
theme. Finney say the counterpart OF
his play in real life not long ago, and
under his inspiration wrote "Or
Judge Nolan" a terse dramatic bit
that is the climax to a bill of varied
entertainment.
Finney carried his play under his
arm up and down Broadway all last
summer without finding a prospective
costumer. In wartime the public will
not stand for a revival OF a senti-
mental story of domestic tragedy, the
vaudeville booking agents along
Broadway told him.
And when the Gayety star said he
would try to play a modern Enoch
Arden in burlesque the sharpest ex-
perts of this branch of theatrical en-
tertainment "pooh-poohed" the idea.
Finney said today his sketch is so
marked a departure from the regular
line OF burlesque offering that IL has
been received everywhere with the
greatest approval. As Judge Nolan.
Finney is transformed from a clown
ish gardener to a dignihed. stately
Judge.
The burlesque star Is firmly of the
opinion that next season will see the
frequent introduction into burlesque
Of dramatic sketches.
Finney has been in burlesque many
years. A decade ago he was in light
opera and dramatic roles on the Pa

CITIZENS REQUEST
BETTER SIDEWALKS

The Columbia Heights Citizens
Association is solidly aligned TO
wipe out what members regard as a
standing menace to the community.
the lack of walks on the east sides
OF Sixteenth and Fourteenth streets.
which has led to many accidents.
A resolution introduced at last
nights meeting by J. Clinton Hiatt.
secretary Of the association. urging
the commissioners to authorize lay
ing OF walks was unanimously
adopted.
Another matter which has been
considered for months by the asso-
citation, the lack of classified post
office facilities in this section, came
in for attention.
Congressman Farr, OF Pennsyl-
vania, in a patriotic address, de-
clared that Washington's splendid
showing in men and money for the
war alone entitled it to representa-
tion in Congress. OF which he always
has been an advocate. He called for
unfailing support OF the Govern
ment's war aims.
