Don Weary, a lyric tenor is spoken Of
as being very clever while Mona Mayo,

personality and good voice. The quar-.

Fares On Domestic plffIeultles.


Avery Hopwood in his farce, Fair
and Warmer at the Grand tomorrow,
tells q merry tale Of how two highly
respectable and more than averagely
Npmesticated persons, discovering
that their respective Grant spouses
had taxed their patience till 1t ceased
to'be aivirture, rose in their righteous
wrath and tried to be wicked.
Having little or no experience IN
wickedness and being hindered rather
Z than helped by what they knew OF 1t
by heresay, they involved themselves
in terrible calamities, while the for
mer naughty members Of their fam!-
lies had the righteous indignation all
to themselves.
The innocents, meanwhile, having
even less knowledge OF how to get ou,
OF trouble than how to get into 1t, saw
their plight increase till 1t all but
obliterated them. It is precisely the
sort OF idea which Avery Hopwood
knows best how to put through its
PAGES, getting its finest farcial flavor.
and giving It his deftest characterize
ton and satirical comedy. One scene,
now famous as the Cocktail scene, was
dsscribed by the reviewers as the
best IN the whole history Of farce.
''Fsair and Warmer" begins In the
early evening, stays up all night and
concludes by noon OF the following
day, having in that time disrupted and
re.assorted two households, devastated
9 tame robin" and brought wisdom
and repentance to saints and sinners
alike. 70 has not a moment between
lit scurtains when It's humor flags or
It's situations slacken.

TRY TO KILL PADEREwskl.
Polish Premier Attacked by Two As
sassns-Saved BY Crowd.

Warsaw, Sunday, May 11.-[Delay-
ed].-A Bolshevist attempt to assas-
sinate Premier Ignace Jan SPederewskl
was made here today when he return
ed to Warsaw from Paris.
\ Premier Paderewski's return home
from the peace conference was the oc-
casion for mammoth demonstration
in his honor and when he and Nine.
Paderewski stepped from their rail-
way carriage at the Vienna station
thousands Of Poles were there to well
come him home.
As the premier and Nine. Paderew
ski emerged from the railway station
and were about to enter their motor
car two men standing near them sud
denly shouted e, in unison: down with
Paderewski."
At the same moment they drew re-
volvers and tried to shoot the pre-
mier at close range. Before they could
level their weapons, however, a score
Of men pounced on them, beat them to
the ground and disarmed them. Before
the gendarmes could rescue the two
men the crowd, realizing what had
happened, fought their way to them
and beat the would-be assailants un-
mercifully. Before the police could in
|tervene, to rescue the men, and place
them under arrest they were severely
injured.
!, One of the men is a young Jew nam
ed Isaac Hablum. The other is we'll
known locally as a Bolshevist and is q
Pole.
The whole affair was quickly over
and in minutes time Premier Pad<
erewski again was smiling and bow
ing his acknowledgment Of the warmth
and enthusiasm manifested IN ..o .::s
greeting accorded him.
Despite the incident this was, In
deed, Paderewski day in Warsaw. For
him, the whole city turned out. Not
long ago, 1t was for Gen. Haller, bring
Ing home the army from France. "A
little later, it was for Gen. Joseph Pill
sudski, returning home from Wilma, d
conqusring hero. Today It was for
Premier Paderewski, and in crystaJ
clear sunshine and with bands playing
and flags waving thousands Of people
packed the square irf front Of the vi
emma railway station to welcome his
return to his own people after weeks
Of labor in the peace conference.
