METROPOLITAN.

It seems probable that there is not
a laugh left in Washington this
morning. They were all used up at
Crandalrs Metropolitan Theater yes
terday, where the most hilarious all
comedy bill of the season opened a
four-day engagement.
The chief absurdity is Upstairs" a
fast-moving ragtime romance, in
which Mabel Normand assumes the
role of a seuIlery maid in a gorgeous
hotel, who seeks for years TO gain ac-
cess to the fashionable upper floors
Of the hostelry, but always meets with
disappointment. A young millionaire
buys his way upon the force of bell
hops for $50 and aids his below
stairs inamorata to the fulhllment
of her fondest desires. There ensue
side-splitting complications that end
in a thrilling encounter as a result of
which the masquerading bus girl is
rewarded with a certified check for
$1,000.
To accentuate. the fun the Metro
politan orchestra renders a special
overture OF syneopated numbers and
jazz selections.
The foremost of the subsidiary sub
jects is. ''The Simple Lsfe." in which
the stellar role is taken by Larry

HUN PRESS SHOCKED
YET INDIFFERENT TO
MURDER OF PREMIER
Revolution Now Lacks Great
Leader, Says Frankfurter
Zeitung; Terrorism Made
Eisner and Broke Him.

Berne, Feb. 22.-The German press
is partly Mortified and partly indif-
ferent toward the assassination of
Premier ,Eisner
The F'rankfurter Zeitung's comment
is typical. 1t laments ''the great trag-
edy," and continues:
The revolution is now lacking a
great leader. Eisner might have been
one. Many Germans will not forget
his dictatorial position. He ruled with
machine guns during the last elections
and wrecked his party and himself
as he did not win seat In the ma
tional assembly. Terrorism brought
him to the top and terrorism brought
him down.
1T was generally assumed that Els
ner would live in history as the origi-
nator Of the German revolution. He
did not believe In parliaments. but
idolized the Soviets. He was q born
Berliner and Berlin's greatest oppo-
nent. A Jew, he ruled Catholic Ba-
varia. A Prussian. he shattered the
centuries-old Prussian throne. A Jour-
nalist, he constantly attacked news
papers. Formerly a theatrical critic,
he was not fully pleased with his own
on the political stage Of
