PLAZA

The general comment from patrons who attended the Plaza last night, and there were quite crowd of sheIn, was that it was a very good eHaw which the management pre- sented- The feature picture, The Common Cause" is masterpiece of linson and Sylvia Bremen are the featured players and their work is admirable. There also appears in the cast the following celebrities: Mar jorie Rambeau, Violet fleming, Irene Castle, Julia Arthur, Effie Shannon, ~u of which have attained enormous H|ccess in recent Broadway produc- &Qns. The splendid work of Philip Pan Loan as the Poilu," Lawrence Grossmith as the Tommy" and Mile. Marcel as the French girl Is worthy of special mention. The foundation of the picture is love story, the eternal triangle making, in this par ticular production, an ideal plot for the narrative. Direction of the play is good, and the story Is a Hkable one.
 On the vaudeville program New hoff and Phelps go to the head of the class. They present a number of songs that have never been heard anywhere before and their clever way of putting them over, brought many enceres last night.

London, Jan. 17.-(Corresponden Of the Associated Press)-Some of the 15,000 American sailors. who wis ited London before leaving for home, told the British journalists what they thought of the metropolis.

 Your transportation about town isn't up to standard, but I suppose that's the war
 'Iondon's more like an American city than Edinburgh, and the people are all right. You are not so modern. though, as we are. I see your girls got their hair bobbed-why, our girls had that done ten years ago!
 The people are real friendly. We like your burg, but your climate is rotten.
 The big difference between Eng land and the States is your ladies. You can speak to a lady here, high or low. without getting into trouble. If you spoke to a lady in America. you'd be arrested. There's something where you are more democratic than ! we are"

PARK

A good show is always looked for when Jean Bedini and his Fuss Fuss" company is announced. This company with a lot of new up-to- date ideas are now at the Park thea ire for the balance of the week. This season Fuss Puss' is to be the newest freshest, most artistic and thoroughly equipped organization on the Columbia Circuit. They back their claim and arrest public atten- ton by presenting an original musi- cal comedy in two acts. The show has more laughs than any attraction on the road. There is no time lost in meaningless dialogue and instead there is rapid succession of funny scenes which keeps the audience In a constant uproar. No show is com plete without a chorus and MT. Be- dini has selected and trained his chorus after ,he manner of the roI- licking Broadway shows. The cast includes: Clark & Mccullough, Jean Redini, Kelso Bros, Helen Lorayne, Eff Delaur, Babe Wright, May Myers and the famous Kitten Chorus.
 (Review).
 There was 8 real treat waiting for the patrons of the Park theater last night, for Jean Bedini's Parisian novelty, entitled Fuss Fuss" is the last word in wholesome entertaLn- ment.
 Practically the entire production is taken up with specially numbers, and
 
 of chorus girls seen on a burlesque stage in Bridgeport ia some time had little to do.
 Paul Mccullough. comedian extra ordinary, scored heavily. and one musical number was cut entirely out of the running by the applause he received at the end of a string of parodies in which he was assisted by his capable runningmate, Bobby Clark. This team was real funny and their lines bright and rather clean throughout the production.
 Jean Bedini appears in the cast to advantage. His work as magician was good and he can juggle with the best of them, but when it came tc all around entertainment. the Kelsc brothers so to the head of the class They sing. they dance, they juggle and Joe Kelso is somewhat of ar artist. In addition to this both are actors above the brand seen on the burlesque stage of today.
 Babe Wrigh; did not have to do a great deal Of work to win the plau- dits of the audience. All Babe had to do was to appear on the stage. She Is young. and certainly beautiful, vi vacious and lively, and while she 1. no prima donna when it comes tC singing, she has . catchy little voice | that is pleasing.

W0RKMEN SUFFER UNDER REGIME OF
 B0LSHEvISTS

Amsterdam, Jan. 17.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press)-The five cardinal points of Bolshevism are, according to NJ. Oudendyk, form erly Dutch Minister in Petrograd, as follows:
 One:-High wages.
 Two:-Don't work.
 Three:-Take other peoples prop erty.
 Four:-No punishment
 Five:-No taxation.
 T wish" said MT. Oudendyk, to give a solemn warning to the work ing classes of all nations against the E:gh-falutin notions which I have seen in Russia. Bolshevism, I say eXaggeration, is the end of cfviliza ton, I have known Russia inti- mately for twenty years under the old regime and under the new con- ditions. Never have the workine classes of Russia suffered as they are doing at the present momen' INV N"4tiStdiulliS all lilul lIlG preSGn so-called ruling classes in that coun- try choose to tell the world. The bulk of the workmen in Rus sia are today far and way worse of than they ever have been and tn, state of unemployment is simpl, terrible. When I left Petrograd tn situation was one of utter starvation | and most people hardly knew hoy they would exist through the follow ing day. Wherever Bolshevism rules the nation has been beaten to pull and is utterly helpless. The futur to me seems hopeless. One thing i certain, that, left as she is now.

THE PRESIDENT S GIFTS

AS estimated in the gossip OF
the Republican cloak rooms OF
congress. the gifts received by
President Wilson from the rulers
and people Of Europe were worth
any sum between vague hall a
million" and more indefinite
"seyeral millions" Of dollars. This
immense valuation was placed ON
them by the partisans not as a
measure of President Wilson S
popularity in Europe but as a
spur to criticism Of him at home.
Now the truth is revealed in
the official list OF the gifts and
appraisement of their value
which intrinsically is rather
small. It discloses that the Re-
publican critics, including Sena-
tor Sherman and Representative
Rodenberg, were as far from
right in their guesses on this sub
ject as they usually are in re-
spect to other statements. The
presents are neither so costly as
the orators declared nor yet so
cheap as these gentlemen must
feel after having got the facts
against their will.
Senator Penrose said he had
been informed that the presiden-
tial party brought back to this
country from crowned heads
and foreign governments gifts
amounting to several million mil
lions, and it was Senator Sher-
man who in the course of a wordy
tirade gave out the statement
that capitol gossip "lays the val
he Of these gifts at half million
dollars.
Secretary Tumulty has fur
nished complete list of the gifts
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Wi
son, his report being in part as
follows:
"Outside of considerable
number of small gifts, such as
books, walking sticks, and old sill
yer dish found in the ruins of
Louvain, war souvenirs made by
soldiers or out of war material,
and numerous medals struck off
in his honor the following are
the only important gifts received
by the president in Europe:
"In England the president re-
ceived a photograph of the king
and queen of England.
"a book relating to Windsor
Castle.
"The freedom of the City Of
London, presented in a gold cas-
ket, by the Lord Mayor at Guild
Hall.
"In Italy the presidents gifts
were a water color picture on
a bronze easel, presented by the
Queen of Italy.
"A bronze figure presented at
the capitol in Rome Ga gift from
the people,.
"A figure of Italia Victoria,
sent to the train at Genoa, either
by a school or by the citizens of
Genoa.
"a set Of books from the citi-
zens of Genoa.
A mosaic, presented by the
pope.
"In France the presidents
gifts were a bronze figure, pre-
sented by a body of students"
Mr.. Wilson also received hon
orary degrees from nearly ali Of
the countries of Europe. Mrs.
Wilson received number of
pieces Of jewelry, china, lace. pie
lures etc, list of which was fur
nished by Secretary Tumulty.
The latter's statement adds
knowing that there isna cen
stitutional inhibition against the
president receiving gifts from
foreign rulers or states, the pres
iden4. after consulting ,the(seefe-
tary Of state was preparing list
of the presents he intended to ask
the permission of congress to re
tain. just before he started ON his
