Drama
Judicious Pruning Will Make
'sThe Lady in Red" Regular
Summer Show

After little judicious pruning "The
Lady in Red" musical comedy which
opened at the Lyric Theatre last even
ing, will no doubt settle down into
very fair sample of all that is required
of summer show" The book and
lyrics are by Anne Caldwell, and the
music by Robert Winterberg.
Bruce Vernon's portrait of Sylvia
Stafford, painted "from memory" and
the result of love at first sight, as "The
Lady in Red" and the young wornan's
discontinue at the scantiness of
draperies supplied by the painter pro-
vide the slender thread upon which the
incidents Of the plot are strung
Dancing, however, is the feature Of
the show. This began early in the
evening with Donald Mcdonald and an
intrepid chorus, and eliminated in the
kif, near the end of the third act. 1t
was the sensation of the evening The
Glorias contributed a whirlwind feat
ure in the second act, and later what
the programme called "the worlds
famous skating imitation Dance" Of
which it also proclaimed them the
originators.
Adele Rowland was the life of the
cast. Her sense Of humor never failed
to awaken response. Her dancing was
nea and rhythmical, if not spectacular.
Ruth MacTammany, as "The Lady in
Red" sang, prettily and displayed a
Junoesque beauty to advantage. Her
voice is sweeter and softer than those
usually met with in musical comedy.
She sings we'll and is at home on the
stage.
Tom Richards laid a strangle hold
on his songs. This businesslike meth
Cd interfered with the general air Of
heartiness and geniality which he
otherwise impaired to the character Of
the painter. A comic soap manufac-
turer, played by Franklyn Ardell, and
an Italian vampire, acted by Bertee
beaumonte, were the other conspicuous
members in the company. The music
was pretty, but commonplace. "The
Lady in Red" and "Play Ne That Tune"
probably will outlive the other num-
bers and achieve wider popularity.

Women's Work Endless.
Says Mrs. McVicar
Committee ''Head Over Ears''
in War Service in Spite of
End of HostiIities

What Mrs. Edward Mcvicar, chair
man Of the New York City Committee
Of the National League for Woman's
Service, has not done in the way of war
work is hardly worth mentioning.
Don't ask me what our reconstruc-
tion programme is just yet" she
warned. eve are still head over ears
IN war work. Between keeping our
ambulances on the run, supplying mill
tary and civilian hospitals with help
ers, outfitting returned soldiers and
sailors, distributing flowers among the
convalescent, furnishing the flats of
prospective military bridegrooms, con-
ducting classes in occupational therapy
having parties and dances for returned
men, teaching them Spanish, conduct
ing Americanization classes and, lastly
finding them jobs, we are pretty we'll
occupied"

Sc Allegations in Action
to Gust Him as Trustee
Protested in Mot i o N
Before Supreme Court
: Proceeding Up To-day
Defence to Ask Dropping
of Clauses Before Charges
Themselves Come Up

George J. Gould, through his attor-
news, Chadbou.ne, Babbitt & Wallace
moved in the Supreme Court yester-
day for the striking out of many of the
allegations made in the proceeding
brought by his brother, Frank J. Gould
70 have him removed as trustee of the
estate of their father. The charges are
made in behalf of Frank J. Gould and
their sister Anna, Duchess Ge Talley-
rand, who is supporting the latter in
the proceeding. George j. says the
charges are "scandalous, impertinent
and argumentative.
When the application to remove Mr..
Gould from the trusteeship comes be-
fore the court to-day it is likely that
his attorneys will ask that his request
to strike out these charges have the
consideration of the court before the
charges themselves, for, if the motion
of the defendant prevails, it will be-
come unnecessary to consider the
stricken cut charges. Mr.. Gould asks
for the elimination of practically all
Of the affidavit filed by Walter B..
Walker, attorney for Frank J. Gould.
Failing in this, he will ask that eighty
six portions of Mr.. Walkers replying
affidavit be stricken out.
Some Offending Charges
Some of the things that Mr.. Gould
wants eliminated are: 1. "That Edwin
Gould has not for years been aware
that George J. Gould, his co-trustee,
has shown in his management of the
estate such a lack of personal honor
and integrity as untitled him for his
duties as executor and trustee OF the
estate"
2. "An allusion to Helen Miller Gould
Shepard's trusteeship, sin so far as it
may be regarded as indicating that
Helen NJ. G. Shepard had been guilty
Of negligence in respect to her par
ticipation in the management, and re-
psated recklessness in unlawfully
committing the funds Of the estate to
adventurers, speculative and hazard
Gus to an extreme degree"
3.-"An assertion that the payment
to the life tenants of s473,000 in un-
paid interest on International and
Great Northern Railroad securities
was a gross and wilful fraud on the
remainder, in view of the fact that the
trustees were life tenants"
Protests Fraud" Statement
4.-"That when the estate paid So
$4,000 for bonds Of the Missouri Pa
cihc it represented an increase of 35
per cent in the estates investment in
Missouri Pacific. That the trustees
were guilty of gross negligence in
this respect or clear abuse Of discre-
ton and that safe and sound securi-
ties might have been invested in,'"
Mr. Gould further objects to the
statement Of Mr.. Walker that when he
began his investigation he did not
contemplate any such conditions Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. gross negligenca
and fraud as Immediately began t. he
disclosed" He also takes exception
TO the charge that he made Coward
~ effort to take refuge behind the acts

On the Screen
NormaTalmadge Goes Through
Several Reels of Russian
Thrills in 'sThe New Moon.

"The New Moon" the feature picture
at the Rivoli, is different from anything
that Norma Talmadge has appeared in
for long time; in fact we never re-
member to have seen her as Russian
princess before.
The story opens in the palace and
shows the Princes Marie Pavlovna in
all her regal state being decorated by
her ladies-in-waiting, and we said
"Oh, dear, now Norma will be COM
PEELED to act like a princess all the
time and we shan't have a chance to
enjoy her at ALL"
But the beautiful part of it is that
Miss Talmadge believes that princesses
Of eighteen are just young girls who
believe as other young girls believe and
so one could forgive her even for being
q princess.
1t is not necessary to speak of Miss
Talmadge's performance, for of Miss
Talmadge's ability there is no ques-
ton. The role is one Of the most ex-
acting she ever has had.
The story tells of Russian princess
who, on the night of her betrothal to
Prince Michel Koloyar, is driven from
the palace by the people who are form
Ing themselves into mobs and Staying
everybody in sight. They call them
selves Anarchists, though we thought
they acted like Bolsheviki. Perhaps
it is the same thing.
The princess escapes to another
province, but the prince is left behind.
Finally he, too, manages to escape, dis
guised as one of the band, and when he
finds his princess again she is Sonia
Sazonoff, storekeeper in little town.
But even this is not enough, for one
Of the wicked Anarchists beseeches her
to marry him, and when she spurns
him, because she is still true to her
prince, he issues an edict that all
and thirty-two must become the prop
rty Of the state and that they cannot
marry any one man. Whoever at
tempts to escape will be punished by
death
1t happens that Kameneff's own sis
ter becomes involved, and when she
escapes across the border she is capt
ured and shot. kamene1f, the anarchist
himself, not knowing that she is among
the women, gives the signal for the
soldiers to fire. AS she falls with bull
let in her heart he catches a flash of
her face in the moonlight. 1t was most
startling and realistic.
Of course, Prince Michel manages
to save the princess. at the fifty-ninth
minute of the eleventh hour.
All Of this sounds melodramatic, but
it was so beautifully done that it was
thoroughly convincing and therefore
absolutely thrilling!
Pedro de Cordoba is the prince and
is delightful, particularly when he is
sad. Charles Gerard and Stuart
Holmes are sufficiently disagreeable as
the two arch Williams, and the death
scene of each was most satisfactory
and enjoyable.
Marc McDermott, Ethel Kaye, Harry
Southern and Marguerite Clayton are
seen in small parts. The story is by
II. H. Van Loan, and the scenario and
direction by Chester Withey.
There is comedy. When Love Is
Blind" and the Rivoli Magazine.
The trio from LA Gioconda" is
sung by Ann Rosner, Nine. Pascova
Liszt's "Thirteenth Rhapsody" orches-
trated by Emo Rapee, with czimba-
Ion solo by Bella Nyary.
