Drys Are Willing
For a Wet Interim,
As Object Lesson
Anderson Predicts That if
War Time Prohibition
Ends in Time, Orgies
Will Disgust Whole u. $.

The end of wartime prohibition
can't come too soon for the drys
lillian II. Anderson, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League. made this
plain Yesterday when he said:
"lf the wartime dry period is de
clared off before next January the
vets will give such an exhibition Of
excesses that the people will be rc-
conclled to the constitutional prohibi-
tion that will follow. They'll never
want liquor to be sold again.
"Of course, we don't exactly hope
that the President overrulcs the pro-
visions of the wartime dry bill. and
declares the country wet before the
war has actually been ended by the
ratification OF the peace treaty But
If he does so we should worry"
Meanwhile, owners Of cafes, hotels
and cabarcts are swamping the office
Of the State Excise Department, 1851
Broadway, with applications for IL
censes so that they may take advan-
tage of the wet spell if and when it
comes. The office was kept open all
night Wednesday and Thursday to
meet the rush of business. Licenses
date from October !.
5000 Licenses Predicted
The rush for certificates viii be
over tonight, it is expected BY that
time John T. McNeill, Deputy Com
missioner of Excise in charge of the
office, predicts 5000 licenses Will have
been issued.
We are issuing practically as many
certificates rs We're held before July
L. said Commissioner McNeill yes
terday. with the straeglers that win
drift in during the next few weeks
believe the total viii reach 5000
predicted this weeks ago, but no one
would listen to me-
Ono of The fondest hopes of the
wets-the decision of an Ohio court
that the ratification of the prohibition
amendment in that state will have to
go to referendum was secuted yes
terday BY Mr.. Anderson.
Il don't believe the United States
Supreme Court Will uphold that deci-
SION he said. "But even if it does,
it, no great matter. Ohio is only one
state, and we have plenty to spare.
And Ohio is the only state whose ref
erendum law can possibly be so con-
strued as TO make it necessary to
place a Federal amendment before the
people for direct vote
Says They'd Vote Dry
But even if referendum is or
dered in all the states which have such
laws, the vets have no chance. Most
OF the referendum states nave been
dry for years, and VIII III no case vote
wet now.
mo dry state has ever changed ir.
uind and cone wet since the passage
Of tho Webb Kenyon law. making it
possible for the states to enforce their
prob oition acts. Those who have vot-
ed on the question have decided to re-
MAIN dry by a larger majority thar.
the original vote. For instance, Mich
igan went dry in 1916 by $4,000 votes
and confirmed its decision in April
Of this year by a majority of 206,OG0

The newest Zlegfeld Midnight Frolic
is one of the most gorgeous of the
series. Probably no musical number
ever presented in America has been so
richly costumed as the song "Beauti-
ful Birds" in which drcssmaking seems
to have definitely won its place among
the fine arts. However. nobody has
yet been able to construct a costume
which could divert attention from Miss
Fannie Brlce. who was the outstanding
Individual hit of the entertainment.
Miss Brice has high talent for bur
lesque which is not much short Of
genius. Her appearances last night
as an apache and as q barefoot dancer
Interpreting Spring were hilariously
amusing and distinctly inventive ere
ations. Frances White, back after q
season in England, has nothing in her
new set Of songs which equals "Missis-
sisippi,' but she did not fail to utilize
all her old favorites successfully. Sa-
voy and Brennan were excellent with
new jokes, often vulgar, but usually
amusins,, and w. c. Fields scored heav-
lily in one Of his shrewd turns of min
gled difficult tricks of Juggling and
funny ones. In fact, everything had
the traditional kick Of the roof except
the refreshments

Dram a
''Ihe Storm, atthe Fortv-eighth

New FrOlic
By Haywood Broun

Helen MacKellar came through for
est fire with great honor at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre last night, when
Langdon McCormick's melodrama, "The
Storm" was produced 1t was a good
tire at that, but we liked Miss Mac
keiiar better than all the smoke, the
1alllng trees and the waving red rib
oons: Mccormick play is old fash
loned IN type and not particularly ex-
pert, even of its own school. but the
talnment, through the appeal of an
unusually excellent performance
>, MISS Mackellar plays the part of
little t'rench-Canadian girl. and though
ner accent is nothing to boast of. she
brings a charm and sincerity to her
work which makes the somewhat con-
ventlonal character alive and interest
ing. Another very good performance is
that of Edward Ernold as a robust.

a performance full of attitudes and
chest thumpings, but ali done with

before the performance is half over.
Arnold has won his audience so com
pletely that it is apt to break into
applause when he speaks slightingly
OF knavcry and trickery as if he we're
enunclatlng doctrines never before ex-
pressed on the stage. Robert Rendel
Is a so effective as the somewhat Will
anish rival of the doughty woodsman.
Most of the work falls to these three
players. and the two remaining minor
roles are acceptaby filed
The play tells of the problem pre-
scnted 70 the woodsman and his friend
from the East when a young girl is
suddenly thrust upon them as their
companion for a snowbound winter.
AS everybody knows, two is company
and threc's g triangle, and bitter rivalry
develops between the two men, who
promptly fall an love with the girl.
In the end the right man wins, al
though it must be admitted tnat it
took forest fire to convince him that
he was truly loved. The story moves
somewhat slowly and its scenes Of com
edy relief are often more amusing than
the moments of crisis. Mrs Lillian
Trimble Bradley has staged the piece
admirably.

mayors veto and favored the paving
of the street as a public necessity. He
moved that the mayors veto be not
sustained.
1T is Of the utmost Importance to
the growth of this end of Perth Am
paved" Mr.. Waters declared. II
should like to see the street paved all
the way through to Washington
street as well as anyone If anyone
here-has civic pride he will vote for
this Improvement"
well, I'm going to vote differently
from my colleagues on this question
and 1 shan't hold my head in shame
either" replied Alderman Clark.
Comparing the mayor to the head of
a board Of directors whose advice he
said is usually followed by the direc-
tors, MI. Clark continued, II for one
am going to follow the advice of our
president in his letter. There is alb
solutely no necessity for the work to
be done at this time. When we
agreed to do the work it vas to give
opportunity for employment to. re-
turned soldiers. There have been no
soldiers on the street work, 1t is done
by aliens" he concluded.
Alderman at large Grouse respond
ed that the mayor as well as every
one else OF the board agreed hat this
work should be dom n unless he
can show excellent reasons why the
work should not be done this summer
1 intend to stand by the agreement"
Attention was then called to the
claim of Alderman Riedy of the sixth
ward that the taxpayers there payed
one third on all of the improvements
in other parts of the city and yet were
granted very few improvements in
their w ward. when W. ask for
only one street a year and can't get
it It's pretty hard" he said. "As long
as we're going to cut out Laurie street
l say cut out both"
Alderman Wilson said that he could
not see that the work was SO expen-
sive in either case and that he thought
that the traffic on Laurie street was
heavier in proportion than on High
street. IT fail to see the consistency
of the stand taken by my fellow
board member on this matter n be-
lieve that If he reconsiders we can
get them both through" Mr.. Wilson
said indicating Alderman Waters.
Mr.. Waters then made another ex-
PLANTATION of his stand saying that he
wished the improvement to be made
now to ave the wear and e on
Smith street and to facilitate traffic
regulation.
The board Of aldermen accepted the
resignation of Patrolmen Charles Nell
son without comment.
A complaint was received from the
Western Improvement Association
protesting against the condition of
the sidewalks in the vicinity of School
No. 8.
An ordinance providing for the
grading Of Hanson avenue from its
