I believe the government is in favor

may seem curious reasons.

think that the continued success OF

reverse of this idea.
"1f we are steadily successful think
the American people will be SO salts
fed with the glory that they won't
even think of ball parks. They will
celebrate in the streets, at patriotic
gatherings, in their homes. A period
of misfortune, of defeat, would cause
gloom and general depression. and
sports of every kind would be needed
then just, to take peoples minds off
the horror of the war.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Belascl4o.

Nora Bayes. now blonde, the trans
formation making her both youthful
and radiant. appeared at the Belasco
Theater last night in a revised and
musical edition Of the late Charles
Hoyt's famous old farce comedy, "A
Contented Woman" modernly entitled
Look Who's Here" According to, the
advanced notices the Hoyt play has
been made over and brought up to
date by Harry B. Smith. musicalized
by A. Baldwin Sloane-and probably
others-and staged by Leon Enrol.
who has lately been winning fame in
that particular line Of endeavor rath-
er than as a musical comedian.
Happily in the revising and making
over, the Hoyt comedy and it's origi-
nal characters are not entirely sub
merged. and the present entertain
ment offers comedy opportunities for
Miss Bayes as IAN individual star" as
well as for others of her company. to
feel the effect upon the individual
player of the old Hoyt spirit that
brought fame to scores of players in
the days long gone by.
The theme of the original narrative,
it will be recalled by those who were
and laughed over it years ago. is
woman suffrage, but in the handling,
like every theme Charles Hoyt ever
utilized so uniquely for entertainment
purposes, is never allowed to offend.
Betty Burt. snatched from quiet life
by the ardor of feminine politics and
piqued at being called ridiculous by
the man to whom she is engaged,
accepts the nomination for mayor of
the city and after sound defeat re-
sumes the normal and returns to her
sweetheart. Such is the simple story.
Last nights performance, however,
indicated that the audience was more
interested in the voice and personality
of Nora Bayes than in the humorous
fate of Betty Burt and it seemed rath-
er disappointed that there was not
more of the Bayes than of the Burt
element in the song offerings H. H.
Frazee, who produced the show. has
engaged a fine company includingWI-
liam Kent, Florence Morrison, Irving
Fisher and Hal Forde, who make the
most of the opportunities given them
as individual stars" The costumes
meet the modern requirements and
the staging of the piece reflects real
credit upon Mr.. Enrol for excellent
taste and discrimination.
