No Wonder Cardinal

PARIS, Dec. cardinal Am

ing attention in his diocese to the
immortality OF certain dresses has
caused a certain amount of furry
in the Rue de la Paix. Cardinal
Bourne. of Westminster, London,
has also had occasion to take ex-
ception to certain styles worn In
that city.
Nine. Paquin, president OF the
chamber of Partisan dressmakers,
while admitting that some styles
are rather daring, says:
"Dressmaking is an art, and IL
certain works of art turned out
lately offend good taste, 1T is be-
cause they are imperfect.
"Dressmaking is a very delicate
art, and a little ship of the scis-
sors may spoil completely an ef-

preserved. I can readily see that
Cardinal Annette was sometime
shocked, and am quite in accord
with him, and his desire that cer-
tain styles disappear"

'The race will not be healthy until

Mrs. kalb. ''The sensible woman
wears thin clothes. The thinner the
clothing the more chance the skin

Discussing silk stockings and the

Il agree with DR.. Copeland that
silk stockings are better for the

tries to prove IL by showing that the

wrong. Correct statistics show more

and those who saw him last week
were agreeably surprised when he
put on an altogether new skit, IL
skit 1t may be called. British humor
is not as uproarious as our Yankee
brand, but 1t is none the less pleas
ing.
Those who have heard and seen
Wiikie Bard arc now of the impress
them when they were told that the
English have no sense of humor
Rather the people of the tight little
isle' have a more subtle way of ex-
pressing their fun. Bard gave two
representations. one of a gentleman
coming home after q night with the
boys, His other character was that
OF spinstcr lady of rather ancien,
date who had yearnings to sing grand
opera.
The opening act is time worn, but
assumed new interest last night. as
the team of hand balancers were two
women who did all the feats usually
done by men. The Donald sisters, as
they are billed, received merited ap-
plause.
The Nippon Duo. a pair Of sons of
the Mikado. gave a pot -pourri of sing

one Of the brothers is a pianist of no
little merit, and is also able to get
real music from the much malignec

acrobat
Far and away the hest dancers that
have been here in some time are the

atop the footlights, where a slip
would have precipitated either one
over the heads Of the audience. The
girl is winsome, the man is pleasing,
and the setting was elaborate.
Demarest and Coliete are two musi-
clans of merit who with good comedy
that does not spoil their music, add
considerably to the act. The girl is
very pretty. and the man who plays
the cello has acrobatic tendencies
that provoke side-splitting mirth,
Katherine Murray pleases with her
songalogue. She is attractive and
knows how to put her songs over, to
the evident pleasure OF her audience.
Herbert Clifton is a female imper-
senator of an unusual sort. Instead of
trying to play female part to mys-
tify the audience. he frankly admits
that he is only giving a travesty OF
the weaker sex. and does 1t very
cleverly.
The supposed stellar act sharing
honors with Bard was not such a
stellar act after all. Jimmy Hussey Is
assisted by William worsley, Tot
Qualters and the Six Shimmy Cops.
They have pretty act, a pretentious
setting and good Jazz music. Many
OF the audience were pleased with the
act. but many wished that the per-
formers would get done laughing over
their private jokes before the curtain
rises. Hussey was not SO funny that
he had to stop and laugh at himself
every few minutes as he did through
out his songs, which otherwise were
really funny.

GAYETY.


Lew Kelly, whose Prof. Dope" has
become one of the classics Of the
burlesque stage. is paying his an
nual visit to the Gayety this week.
Producer Jack Singer has given him
an entirely new vehicle and has sur
rounded him with a talented COM
pany of principals.
"The Submarine Man" is the title
of the two-act skit and 1t is replete
with witty dialogue, tuneful music
and amusing situations. Kelly is
prominent throughout the action of
the piece and with Roger" he creates
gales of laughter. Three comely
girls, Annette Shaw, Estelle Dudley
and jeanette Buckley, form a trio
that is hard to beat. Each one is a
gifted singer and dancer. Miss Shaw's
duet with Harry Rose, leader of the
orchestra, is one Of the delightful,

"Flo-Flo" is a musical comedy that
Is really funny. 1t is a grand series
of laughs from beginning to end. Its
music is pretty, but there are no
songs that stand out as unusual hits.
The chorus is good looking. and the
girls gowns are especially attractive.
The plot is a very, very slender
thread indeed. and the interest in the
show lies rather in the uproarious
lines and the antics of the truthfully
humorous characters.
1t is a simple story of a simple lit
tie girl. Angelina, who is in love with
Billy Cope of Oshkosh. Angelina's s
mother wants her to marry a Spanish
count because of his wealth; but just
as the marriage is about to take
place, Billy declares his love for An
gelina, and at the same time Span
ish sweetheart of the count enters
and reminds him of his duty to her.
Flo-Flo is a corset model who carries
on Irritation with Billy and makes
Angelina jealous. It's all so very
simple that's it's hardly plot, hardly
enough to command interest.
Handlers and Mills, as Pink and
Mudd, really make the show. They
are as funny as comedians come.
Their trick derbies are always doing
something funny, and their odd little
mustaches are a scream. They dance
and skip about the stage with wild
abandon. Every glance Is funny,
every gesture causes laughter. Al
Shean, as Isidor. one of the owners of
a lingerie shop, is comical, his role
being that of a tight-fisted Jew.
Harry Short, as Simpson, his partner,
is funny in his comments upon every
thing that passes under his nose.
Mabel Withee. in the role of Ange-
is not particularly appealing. Kath-
crime Stout, as Flo-Flo is a charming
de luxe show girl--ciever, naughty
and dazzling in her dress.
Flo-Flo makes the men in tn eaudi-
ence lean forward in their seats when
she poses in the window of The Bride
Shop as a corset model. All she
wears is a corset, with little bit of
lacy stuff for background. Then
the whole chorus comes out in moth
ing but lingerie-twelve girls, each
with a different style of lacy under
thing as her sole adornment. While
these bedroom dolls parade around
the stage they sing a catchy little
song entitled Lingerie"
ION the River Nile is another song
with a swing, sung by Simpson and
the chorus. II Don't Know What You
See In Me-" sung by Billy and the
chorus. brings numerous encores. An
gelina sings Goodbye, Happy Days."
a very sweet melody
If you like to laugh, and IL you like
to look at lingerie, you'll be very well
pleased with "Flo-Flo," which can
boast both good music and real COM
edy.

FAIR ALLOWANCE
 KILLED BY COUNCIL
(From Fridays DaHy.)

At a very interesting meeting of the city council last night many inn portant matters were taken up and disposed of, Mayor Goldwater pre- siding and all members present ex- cept MT. Davis, who was away on leave of absence.
 The paving of Mt Vernon street was the main subject up and several passages at arms took place between the mayor and others. The mayor seemed to stand alone in the conten- ton that there is a possibility that the city will finally find itself unable to protect itself fully ill the matter of the payment for the paving on Mt Vernon street He raised some ob- jections as to the kind of pavement adopted previously, as it would seem that competition had been somewhat shut off by the adoption of a certain kind of paving, which can be supplied by only a few firms ill the United States.
 However, resolutions were adopted to have notices published for the le-. gal time to give contractors chance to bid on putting ill this particular kind of paving. It is evidently the intention of the majority of the coun-' cil to carry out the plan to pave Mt. Vernon and any other streets that the people petition to have paved.
 Professor Miller of the City band offered to donate his salary for the months of December and January if the council would pay them in ad vance so that they could be applied to paying the deficit of the band ex- chequer. Some money had been raised by subscription, and some byI dances, etc, but they find themselves S250 in the hole. The city, however felt that it could not afford to pay any salaries ill advance. The reso lution was therefore lost.
 The $500 appropriation to assist the Northern Arizona fair was lost on tie vote, Byers and Smith voting aye and Vyne and the mayor voting no. It seems that the city is already in the hole some $7OOO, which made the $500 item look rather large to some.

FIND CACHE OF HILL

Gradually but firmly, the work: and wanderings of the Hill Hard, ware" gang are coming to light ir the county jail, where Paul Gassler and Eddie Williams, two members are incarcerated pending legal inves- tigation of their alleged attempted footing of the hardware concern.
 With the aid of Sid Armstrong, the l4 year old wild one, with whom Will Hams took short jaunt out of the county jail last week the officers yesterday learned that the two young men who entered the Hill store had a cache out by the stone quarry. Armstrong was induced to tell where Williams said the cache was footed, and Sheriff Davis yester- day brought in the cache.
 Canned foods, including that well known drink for which there is req son; handsome black travelling bag containing miscellaneous clothing and other articles, believed by the authorities to have been stolen, were found and carried in to the county jail.

OWL MIXOLOGIST TAKES
 A LIFE COMPANION
(From Fridays pailyl

Surprised! We'll, yes. The many friends of the genial Bobby" Smith head mixologist at the Owl, were not just mildly surprised but almost vio- lently so, when they learned that Wednesday evening Bobby took un- to himself a wife. Everybody has for long time known that Bobby de- served good wife, but he had not advertised the fact that he had a notion of becoming benedict. But it is so. The lady in the case is Mrs. Bessie May Holderness, the charming daughter of Dr. and Mrs. D. L. Car michael Both are well known in the city, have a host of friends to wish them happiness and long life.
 Only a few months ago MT. Smith returned from the battle front in France, and has been at his old grind at the Owl.
 The Rev. C. P. Morris of the Bap- list church performed the ceremony, while Mike Lawler stood up as best man for the groom, and Mrs. Car michael acted as natron of honor. The affair was hastily planned and took place in the home of the brides parents on South Mount Vernon street.
 It is mirthfully told that there are no smokes in the Owl today, as they had all been smoked up by the we'll wishers of the happy couple, and in order to get in a new supply, Bobby had to get back to work at 7 o'clock as usual in order to make up a stock list and order by wire d new supply of cigars. The jokers also have it that it took the aid of the county at torney and numerous supernumer- aries about the various county offices to secure the needed document, a marriage license, as Clerk Wood had retired for the night and refused to get a license for some fellow who had forgotten it the night before. But after a gay time in getting the needed credentials and waking up the pastor, the event went along like c1ocIwork

SCHOOL BONDS PASS
 BY LARGE MARGIN
tNrom Sunday's naiIyl

Thirty-six ritiL1us, comprising the sovereign" power of the voters of School District No. 1, covering the city of Prescott, exercised their con stitutional rights yesterday and voted on the bonds for the proposed new school building for the south side. Thirty-one voted in favor of the bonds and 5 negatively.
 This tremedous majority of over 6 to i decided the momentous issue of whether or not Prescott school children between the grades of one and eight, are to continue crowded into inadequate quarters, or whether facilities are to be provided whereby they may breathe plenty of fresh air per capita.
 Keen disappointment was felt at the showing, but much dissatisfaction was expressed by the school authori- ties over the fact that the vote was in favor of the expansion, instead of against it. It would have taken so little effort on the part of one op-

posed to the bond issue to have beaten it.
 Most of the fund to be raised from the bonds will be spent in erecting school building on block 39, just south of Leroux street and between Cortez and Marina. This school will not only provide closer facilities for many youngsters living in the south side, away from both the Lincoln and Washington schools, but will re- lieve really pressing congestion in the Fourth, Fifth and Eighth grades
 A small part of the bond issue about $5,000, will be used to build an extension to the Manual Arts build ing at the Washington street school and equip it.

JAILBREAKERS USE MOP
 STICK TO BEND BARS (Fran Fridays Daliy.)

The freedom of Eddie Williams implicated by the confession of Paul Gassler in an attempt to enter the Hill Hardware store Wednesday morning, and of Sid Armstrong, all other youthful offender, was as short lived yesterday as it was interesting They breathed the free air of the wild and woolly west just long enough to hike it from Prescott to Kirkland.
 Williams and Armstrong provided the county with another object les son on the iniquity or senility of having cheese-bars across the win dows of jails According to the sheriff's office they used mop-han- dle to pry two bars off the window of the juvenile room on the ground floor of the courthouse, and while some damage was done to the bars, the mop handle was entirely unin- jured. These two were the only in- mates of the lower room at the time. They escaped about midnight night before last and were picked up by a deputy sheriff and returned to Pres colt on the afternoon train.

The officer noted the similarity in the raiment of Gassler to that of Williams and drew him into conver- sation, which resulted in his arrest and the subsequent confession.

BOY ARRESTED WHILE
 HOMEWARD BOUND

Muchacho Imperial, who has been under the supervision of the juvenile court for some time. was on his way home from Wickenburg yesterday from Phoenix, where he had been in company with a blind man who had paid the lads way in return for his company. He was picked up at Wickenburg by the Sfhcers on sus- picion of being a kid runaway from home. The boy knew he was being unfairly dealt with and he therefore escaped from the officers. A lively chase ensued, but the boy was finally captured and sent on his way home. But this was unnecessary, as he was on his way home anyway.
