SUFFRAGE FIGHT IS
MAKING PROGRESS
Utah is 18th State to Rati-
fly the Amendment to
the Constitution.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the National American Wo-
man Suffrage Association has issued
statement calling attention to the
fact that with Utah's unanimous rati-
fication of the Federal Suffrage
Amendment on September 30, the sui
frage cause is almost halfway
through its final stage. Seventeen
states have now ratified in four
months, and nineteen more are to
come. Utah is the fifth full suffrage
state to ratify the fourth to call a
special session to do so, Michigan
having been still in session when the
Federal Suffrage Amendment passed
the United States Senate.
"These four states have" Mrs. Gait
says "set an example of pure altru-
ism, their action having been perform
ed for the woman of the nation, the
political rights OF their own women
within their state boundaries being
already protected by the votes of the
people within t1,eseYeral full suffrage
states.
THE full suffrage states recognize
however, that the force of the point
that their own women citizens are
not fully enfranchlsed until al! wo-
men in the United States have the
vote. New Jersey, Connecticut, Mass
achusetts, Vermont, and Pennsyl
vania, touching New York, may all
completely disfranchise New York
women.
at was an act of protection to Utah
women, therefore, as well as an act
of courtesy for Governor Bamburghel

Federal Suffrage Amendment. The
seventeen states which have already
ratified represent much more than
half the population of the United
States-nearly 100000 Of its 81,

Ii :. e Robertsop-Cole production, ~
Mans Country at the Princess if
Il viewed from the critics corner. II
belongs to the school of melodrama,
the Kind that is loved by the ordin-
airy throng; but the reins of produc-
ton have not been governed by skill
hands. There is, for instance, action
plenty, enough gunplay to satisfy the
obsessions Of the small boy or melo-
drama loving adults; but the convinc-
ing tone that should make one follow
with increasing interest the character
and plot of story is lacking. The
thrilling days of California's '49
should have inspired an infinitely bet
ter direction tina mis- evident in "a
Mans Country" las presented, the
outline Of the plot is not clear.

81 years run in the Princess theatre,
New York, would seem to indicate

subtle humor and delicate touches.
There are some sixteen tunes that are
really whistleable, which will likely
be heard long after the show has been
here. Pretty girls always feature a
Princess production, and the producers
have made extraordinary efforts to
select chorus that is notable for the
three virtues, looks, talent for singing
and ability to dance well. Some beau

BurleSque Fills the Bill.
Problem plays and the heavier
form Of dramatic shows have little
place in the theatre today. The light
or form of amusement is what the
public seeks and demands. Surely

aches" and produces enough tears,
without going to places of entertain
ment to shed more tears" over the
supposed troubles of some hero or her
oine. "Burlesque" is really the pres

amusement and when properly pro-
duced, serves to combine in an even
