Rosamund Whiteside Runs
Away With Performance of
"Chimes of Normandy"

Planquette's old operetta "The
Chimes of Normandy" was given last
night at the Shubert Theatre by the
Gallo Opera Company. Despite the
perennial delight of the old melodies
THE Chimes" has passed its heigh-
dey, and unless given superlatively it
can hardly hold its own to-day It's
story and its humor are alike faded
past all possibility Of return Yet last
nights audience seemed pleased, and
one little woman, the Sepolette of the
evening, quite ran away with the per
formance.
Miss Rosamund Whiteside is a
young woman who will bear watching.
She has grace, charm. good looks, an
adequate voice, and what is rarer than
all-personality. While she was on
the stage the audience sat up and for
gave the librettist. Miss Whiteside is

immigration authorities detained
TWO passengers on the Caserta OF the
Italian line, which arrived yesterday
from Genoa. No explanation was given
by the officials for their action.
The men who we're not permitted to
land are Urelio Bodini, of Cremona, a
tenor, who sang last year in the Chi
cago Opera Company and who is un-
der contract with the Metropolitan
Opera Company for this season, and
Giuseppe Bacchia, who was on his way
to this country to become secretary
TO Pasquale Amato, the baritone. The
latter was making his first trip to the
United States. Agents from the Met
ropolitan Opera Company were q, the
pier to meet them and were surprised
to learn Of their detention.
The Italian steamer had a great deal
of trouble in docking because of the
strong flood tide and scraped against
her dock, flooding the pier in some
places to q depth of four feet Many
bales Of rags were used to provide dry
places on the dock for the passengers
coming off the steamer.
The Caserta brought seventy-eight
cabin and 324 steerage passengers.
Thirty of the cabin passengers were
reservlsts who had been on duty with
the Italian army.

Treated with sophistication and cul-

most professional articles it has a de-
gree Of technical finish. No time has
been wasted in making its crude and
tiimsy structure Of idea any sounder,
but its "strong" moments are con-
trived with excellent stage effect.
The play hinges largely on the crisp,
delightful acting of Miss Larrimore and

performances in the play. These two

What are we going to do about the

to do about the business men who
bought the Liberty bonds from this
youth, without asking a question? Only

bank and deposited $4,000 in cash in
his own name
