to disgust the guardian with the sort

sister. or have gone through the other
heroics that have become traditional
when there are weaker ones to be
shielded from the world. But Mr..
Hopwood did nothing so elaborate.
He merely allowed Miss Claire to con-
tinue on the path of disenchantment.
Rarely does a playwright content him
self with such a faint assertion Of
his rights But after all there is plot
enough for the little fairy story that
Mr.. Belasco has chosen to extra Illus
trate so gayly.
So she drinks champagne 30 rapidly

to fill the glasses which are emptied

Alonzo the Spaniard and all the bad
men of Newark who would get into
her path and give her diamonds and
limousines and everything in the
world she wanted but love. just love
and little house, that is to say two
little houses-one in town and the
other in the country. Mr.. Hopwood
here has the courage to get far
enough away from the popular con-
ception of the chorus girl to look at
her with some humor and sophistica-
ton. Miss Claire's speech is almost
burlesque, but II is the most genuine

Mr.. Hamilton probably realizes by

But such a SHOW as "Roly BoIy

The theatre must be a broad canvas.
All kinds of taste seek enjoyment
there. 1t will not appeal to those who
search the theatre for such intellectual

Because a man prefers the back room

BROUGHT BACK PYGMY HIPPO
Hunter Spent Weary Mcrtns in Jun
giles 70 Prove That the Species
Really Existed.

IT seems Incredible, but there exist
hippopotami that do not exceed 80
inches in height. For a long while no
BODY believed that there were any
pygrny hippos in Liberia. The natives
insisted that the Hippopotamus Lib
eriensis lived deep in the forests; but
that was another reason why explorers
and hunters shook. their heads In In
credulity. The hippOpotamus lives
along the rivers. they said, and this
talk about pygmies of this species in
the forests is nonsense.
Nevertheless a pygmy hippo was
caught as far back as 1873. and
brought from Africa to the geological
gardens in Dublin It might have CON
WINGED the world, only it arrived in
dying condition, and persisted before
it could be exhibited After that, peo-
pie took to doubling II again, and
the one recorded specimen
as a freak. But Carl Hagenback. the
famous animal man. made ZIP his mind,
at last, that the pygrny hippo could
be. and should be. introduced to man.
He sent an intrepid hunter Schom-
burgk, after it, and Schomburgk. after
spending a year and half in the jun
gle, reappeared with three pygmy
beasts, two of which were at once
brought to the New York zoo and
placed on exhibition.-New York Her
