CrnndslPs Metropoiitan-SUps
1t seems probable that there is
not a laugh left in Washington this
morning. They were all used I'D
at Crandalrs Metropolitan Theater
yesterday, where the most hilarious
all-comedy bill of the season opened
a four-day engagement, ending
Wednesday night.
The chief farcical absurdity of the
bill is Upstairs" fast-moving
| 'ragtime romance" in which Mabel
Normand assumes the role OF
scullery maid in a gorgeous hotel
and seeks for years to gain access
to the fashionable upper floors of
the hostelry. but always meets with
disappointment. young million
aire finally succumbs to the almost
hidden charms of the slavey. buys
his way upon the force of bell-
hops for $50 and aids his below
stairs inamorata to the fulfllment
OF her fondest desires. The fact
that Elsie mcfarland makes her
debut in stolen fnery furnishes the
motivation of a series of side-split-
ting complications that end in
thrilling encounter participated in
by the heroine, the hero and the
villain, as a result OF which the
masquerading buss-girl is reward
ed with a certified check for $1,000.
The action throughout the length
of the picture is very lively and
very frivolous and the characters
exceptionally well impersonated by
a cast that includes. in addition TO
the star. Edwin Stevens, Cullen
Lands and others of note. To ac-
centuate the spontaneous fun of the
subject. the Metropolitan orchestra
renders special overture of syn
copated numbers and a complete
score Of jazz selections that met
with the unqualified approval of
yesterdays packed houses. Never
has such an accompaniment for a
picture been offered in the Capital

of the production in which Charles
Ray figures both as victim and crea-
tor of the rube situations that touch
the chord OF sympathy at once and
win the spectator with a bound.
As Bill Henry" Jenkins. the star

old-fashioned bicycle, on which he
carries a limited wardrobe. a tire
pump and his sample case. for he is
the county agent for the Little Won

guaranteed remedy for rheumatism.
etc. Bill Henry stops at a farm
house to make a sale Of one OF his
vibrators.
He makes a successful demonstra-
tion on a rheumatic old man, when
the wife takes hold of the machine
and gives the patient a severe shock
by turning the crank too fast. In his
wrath the rural patient-prospect
chases Bill Henry down the road
with 4 hor<ewhip, and succeeds i'll
breaking up his bicycle and inciden-
tally his further business activities
Bill Henry is forced to seek refuge
at his uncle's hotel, Rivera, a few
miles down the road. where he is
cordially received by his uncle. who

of small farm left by her late uncle.
The crooked attorney advises her

Discovered, Bill Henry's financial as
sistance is refused by Leila, who SAYS
everything would be all right II the
I attorney-agent could only sell the
land.
That evening Bill Henry is invited
to join a poker game in a guests
room, but Is forbidden to do so by his
uncle. His desire to make Leila hap

the game. He wins everything in

poker with his grandfather for
matches every night for two years.
With his winnings he purchases the
Mason land for 5000

rice corporation for s1,40o. and leaves
the money with the agent to give to
Leila, saying the proft is really hers.
The agent gives Bill Henry a blank
receipt. and then attempts to prove
Bill Henry a crook by telling his
uncle he has gambled and stolen the
money that should have been given
to LEILA

innocence but loses his nerve when
Leila does not believe in him. When

LONDON, June belief that
Great Britain can have the trade

pite the competition which the
United states has built up there dur
ing the war, was expressed by Cor
don Ross. formerly financial editor
of the Buenos Aires Standard, in an
address he delivered here recently
Mr.. Ross is quoted as saying that
there is in some South American
republics a jealous fear of the ex-
tension of the influence of the United
States and he repeated the state
ment that it had been cynically said
in South America that the Monroe
Doctrine meant not so much Amer.

for North Americans"
Mr.. Ross told his hearers that
British neglect of advertising in
South America had an important
effect upon their trade; that it was
important that catalogues should be
published in the language of the
people and that the prices should
be quoted in the currency of the
country.
