ADJUSTMENTS
Chin Chin"

chin Chin" quaint Of story and
unique in costuming, with music that
catches the a and Genes that delight
the eye, revived memories Sunday night
at the New Lyric Of Its first appeaT-
ance in Memphis last season and SUI
fered none by the comparison. The
company which Charles Dillingham; has
sent on the road for the second touring
season has been well chosen, is happily
balanced and withal the performance
is most pleasing.
Chin Chin" is one of the musical
comedies which. while coming under
that general classification, is not strict
ly a musical comedy. II partakes more OF
the nature of a musical extravaganza,
for its varied Interpretations, which are
more or less connected with the plot,
are distinct and almost make n forget
that a story Of romance and mystery
Is being unfolded.
Among these might be mentioned the
clown band Of saxOph0nists, which en-
teTtains in front Of a circus tent with
cheering results. Then there Is the VEN
triloquist with his laquaclous dummy,
the bareback rider and the miniature
circus, all Of which are injected into the
second act with dlyerting results.
But it remains for the first part Of
the performance to win praise for Dill
lingham's production, The costuming
Is a delight. to the y with Its quaint
COlOTllBs, us plethora OF Sllken CnlneSe
costumes and the unique settings, And
here Is where the chorus which Dilling-
ham has provided makes It most ef-
fective appeal. A bevy Of more han a
score Of winsome misses, all young and
very pretty, adds an enchanting effect
to the entirety. No prettier chorus
has attended a performance here in
months.
Several of the principals of the origi-
nal production are retained, which Is a
satisfying fact, for their roles are in
capable hands. The story of Aladdin
and his wonderful lamp furnishes the
plot for Chin Chin" with the added
feature Of a romance between Aladdin
and an American girl tourist.
Walter Wills and Roy Binder are seen
in the two leading comedy roles and
they prove wealthy successors to Mont
gomery and Stone, who created the
original roles. Althea Barnes is cast
in the role of the Goddess of the Lamp,
George Usher is the Aladdin Of the
story, Miss Violet Tree is again Fan
Fan and Joseph Robinson Is still in the
role of Abanazar, the villain.
There are a score of catchy musical
numbers which add much ~ the enter
tanning story. chin Chin will be seen
at Monday matinee and night perform

OVERSEAS BOYS WISH TO

YAZOO CITY. Miss, April 7. (spl)-
There ome to Yazoo City from over
seas an echo of the question Of the
abolition of the service stripes, much
before the last congress. Lieut.. Frank
Whitman, a Yazoo county man, is the
writer of a letter. which, he says, ex-
presses the feeling Of all the men who
are overseas, and in which he charges
politics with the reason for the move
ment to abolish service stripes, and
says when the oversee men get back
to vote they will make their weight
felt.
The men of the A. E. F., says the
Yazoo soldier, feel that they are en-
titled to the little distinction that gold
chevrons give them. They feel that
action to the contrary politically is un-
worthy and has at its bottom political
gain.
I'VE are no longer tied to a party
or parties" says Lieut.. Whitman. I'VE

WALKER HOME Is
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Loss is Estimated at $4,000, With
Insurance to Cover; Mr.. Walker
49, Will Probably Rebuild.

Fire on last Monday morning al
eleven o'clock, originating in the
roof of the home of Mrs. and Mrs. T
B. Walker on South Brewer street,
almost totally destroyed the building,
and resulted in loss that Mr.. Wal
ker estimates at $4,000. -.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
building, and $1,000 on the contents.
Neighbors quickly to the rescue re-
moved most OF the household goods,
however, and the loss was minimized.
However, the roof of the building, the
interior walls, and ceilings, are SO
badly damaged that Mr.. Walker con-
siders the loss total, and will proba-
ably not attempt to repair the build
ing, but erect new one instead.
The DWELLING is a two-story build
ing, partly of brick construction with
an addition of frame. The fire when
discovered was in the roof and spread
rapidly over the wooden shingles. The
