Messers. Tut and Whitney have
brought to Chicago the greatest mu-
steal comedy of the age. This state
ment is broad but all one has to do
is to look, not with the eyes of pre-
JUDGE nor with the ordinary drama
tic Interpretation, but with the eyes
of a historical dramatic interpreter.
There are not three dramatic critics
in America that could do justice to
this show without delving in to the
Achieves of ancient history, and at
the same time being in possession of
sufficient archaeological data to
cover long ehumeristic period.
The Colored people of Chicago
could not have a better message
brought to them at this time than the
answer radiated by the Smarter Set
Company of uniting the Children OF
The Sun. The historical points were

burlesqued at several points but in
main the audience received the i'm
port of the camofaged message.
The costumes are beautiful. The
chorus is we'll trained in cadence and
well balanced in voice, which gives
a pleasing effect to the critical eye
and at the same time reflects har-
mony to the ear.
Mr.. Whitney played the comedy
part thru out. He has style that
is original and fascinating. AT times
especially in the last act where he is
starving in the Sahara's proves him
self not only a comedian but dra-
matist of covetous qualities.
On the whole, however, his come
dy does not balance the deep histo-
RIGA lplot of the play which was
portrayed by the rest of the Company
in divers ways.

Advices from Dublin say condi-
tions in Ireland are most disquiet-
ing. Lawlessness has not been dis
couraged by the recent proclamation
and crimes of violence are increasing
in number.
Proclamation without action" is
the description some critics give of
Lord French's rule. His latest man
ifesto proclaimed the Sim Fein and
kindred societies throughout Ireland
as illegal bodies. The Sim Fem had
already been proclaimed such in
Dublin and other parts before the
recent meeting of the Sim Fein con-
gress there. Yet the Sim Feiners
held their congress, even advertised
it and boosted of it, and nothing
happened in the way of measures
against them.
