May WirtIl's Toe
Guides Mount i'm
Bareback Stunts
Circus Rider Praises Milk
White Horse Who Obeys
Taps of Tiny Pedal; City
Ihrongs to Garden Show

Some conscientious operate star re-
Gently confessed that even i'll her most
ardent love scenes she counted time
with the toes of her right foot
But even this confession was out
done yesterday by the admission of
May Wirth, star bareback rider of the
Ringing Brothers, Barnum 6. Bailey
circus, that she telegraphed orders to
her mount by means of her little toe.
The youthful rider, whose appear
ance at the Madison Square Garden
performances was delayed by her tardy
arrival from Cuba, showed how she
made known her wants to the milk
white horse that has attracted almost
as much attention at the circus per
formanccs as she. Two taps with the
toe, she said, called for a rolling lopc,
such as is used when she is doing her
somersaults; three taps for the faster
gallop that accompanied her hoop
springs, while four call for the topmost
speed the speed that goes with the
surprises Of the finale.
Miss Wirth, who is but nineteen
years old, claims credit for inventing
this means Of equine telegraphy. She
insists that other bareback riders com
municato to their mounts by means of
verbal orders, while she IS left free to
study her audiences.
II know my horses and they know
me-" she said. 81 don't think the
credit for any success / may have at
tanned belongs altogether to me. The
horse, which is much more intelligent
than the average human being, de-
serves most of the glory and | am
willing it should have it,"
Yesterdays crowds at the Garden
performances appeared to think that
Miss Wirth was the star of the riding
act, however, as they applauded her
riding, her leaps while her feet were
encascd in basket, and her hand
springs from the back of her horse,
long after the equine part Of the
troupe had disappeared beyond the
green doors Of the arena.
The combined circus continued to fill
the great Garden structure yesterday.
Wilbur II. Williams, representing the
new organization, said the city's ap-
pcNte for this style of amusement ap-
peared to have been whctted by its
long war time abstinence from lighter
forms of play.
During the war we sacrificed our
men, our horses and our paraphernalia
In order to give every possible assist
ance IN bringing victory" he said. "W G
have put the two shows under one top
now with the cream of both organiza-
tions, and the demand of children and
adults for the Old time circus joys

Opera
Leoni's ''L'OracoIo" and ''Pag-

tan; Caruso Sings Canio

Franco Leoni's "LOracolo" and Leon
caVailo's "Pagliacci' were last nights
operas at the Metropolitan. and as Mr..
Caruso was singing Canio the audience
was OF gargantuan size and enthusiasm.
The Leoni opera is far from master
piece, but its composer knew the the
atfe, and choosing an admirable libretto
wrote music at once melodious and
oramatlc. In the part OF Chim-Fang
ANTONIO Scotti has won one of the tri
uinphs OF his career, and Mr.. Didur as

MISS haston as AhYoe are worthy CO.

last night, and Sgnor Scotti's imper-
sonatlon of the opium den keeper was
as powerful and as sinister as ever.

York. lie sang it very we'll indeed. and
though his voice is essentially lyric in
quality 1t was remarkably effective. He

On the Screen
Charles Ray as Western Hero
and Priscilla Dean as Female
''Raffies" Screen Features

"The Sherff's Son." which is at the
Rialto this week with Charles Ray in
the title role, is much different from
Rays recent pictures. 1t is serious,
with never laugh in it, for Ray has
forsaken the Awkward, lovable boys
whom he has been impersonating and
appears as Westerner who avenges
his fathers wrongs and conquers his
own cowardice.
Those who have begged for Mr. Ray
III more dramatic roles are going to be
satisfied and perhaps there are plenty
of people who will like THE Sheriff $
Son" better than THE Girl Dodger"
Only we believe that there are other
stars who might match Rays perfor-
nance IN the new picture, while we are
certain that no one else could have
been so delightful in the previous one.
1t is much easier to win sympathy by
heroics than by goucherie.
Royal Beaudry was born in the wild
West. His father was Sheriff of this
particular town to which he returns
later in life, but the place is hateful
to him because as a child he had seen
his father slain by band of rustlers
called the Rutherfords,
At the time of his return the Ruther-
fords are 'acting up" again and he finds
that he is morally bound to set out
and rescue the Sheriff, who has been
captured by the outlaws.
Of course there is daughter of the
house of Rutherford, but she is good
and beautiful and knows nothing Of
the inquities of her tribe.
And, yes, you have guessed it, the
two scions of the feudal houses meet
and fall in love, and Royal proves that
he is worthy /. be his fathers son and
Beulah proves that she is worthy to be
his bride.
There are plenty of nice human
notes in the picture to prove that
Victor Shertzinger directed it. Mr.
Sliertzinger has done most of Ray
recent pictures. AT one point Beulah
falls into discarded mine and the
villain Of the story, mad with whiskey
finds her. But instead of the usual
struggle, with hero rushing in just
as girl is about to give up the ghost
the villain simply chuckles from the
edge of the gully care ye down there
Well, stay there, you Rutherford" The

Few Redecming Features

There are a few rcdecming features
about "Take 1t From Me-" new
musical play which opened at the 44th
Street Theatre last evening 1t is a
curious tumble of burlcsquc, vaude-
vile and musical comedy Most of the
material used is venerable. There is
the usual guy young bankrupt who in
herits the usual fortune at the usual
critical moment, and with the usual
condition set forth in the usual avun-
cular will.
In this case the condition takes the
form Of successfully operating de-

tale
Several of the musical numbers, for
example, "The Tanglefoot" and "The
Call of the Cozy Little Home" probably
will find their way into the hotels
and cafes: The performance was mildly
entertaining. The two most striking
representations were Miss Michelena's
vampire and Miss Hills's amorous
spinster. Aside from preserving intact
her wholly physical attributes, Miss
Mlchelena has evidently been devoting
some attention to her voice. She sang
with considerable skill and acted with
convincing intelligence. Perhaps the
most pleasant feature of the evening
was the clever dancing by the Gardn-
ers.

Committee of Bar
Approves Only III
Bills at Albany
More Than 100 Important
Measures Before the Leg
islature, and Majority of
Them Are Objected To

The committee on the amendment Of
the law of the New York Bar Associa-
ton has given entire approval only to
eleven of more than one hundred i'm
portant measures now pending in
Albany The report on the pending
bills was forwarded yesterday to Gov
ernor Smith and members of the
Legislature.
The provision of the Walker bill,
repeating the law permitting the Police
Commissioner of New York City to ap-
point citizens to perform duty IN the
Police Department during continual
ton of the state OF war, is indorsed.
However, that section of the measure
which would constitute persons here
tofore appointed and others to be en-
listed, municipal guard Of New York
under jurisdiction Of the Police Com
missioner, is disapproved.
"What the bill proposes is to cUn-
stitute an addition to the New ork
Police Force without the safeguards
which surround its present orgnniza-
ton" says the report.
The committee disapproves the Wal
ton-Duke bin to amend the definition
of "vagrant' in connection with pres
ence in disorderly resorts, and also
the Marshall Cheney bill TO repeal the
law that u trust company cannot lend
money to its own directors in excess
of 10 per cent Of the capital stock.
"The bill has all the ear marks Of q
joker is the comment on the Towner-
Fearon bin to amend the insurance
law which the committee says would
permit an insurance agent to Insure
the property of fellow agent and al
low him the premium.
The report strongly disapproves the
Sage Malone bill to amend the law so
that where a check or negotiable in
strument bears clearly suspicious cir
cumstances on its face or back it shall
not put the bank on notice of fraud
or frailty of title connected with it.
Senator Blacks "blue sky" bill is
disapproved because, the committee
says, 'at the present time there are
millions of dollars in valid and market
able securities in New York, the sale
Of which in the ordinary course of
business would be difficult or impos-
sible If this legislation were enacted. "
The Link bill, making it misde-
meancr to carry in q parade any ban
ner or sign not written in English, is
u'S"Pp10Heu "S ~ "outu prevent paying
tribute, In their own language to some
of our allies.
A bill requiring the giving Of trans
fers on surface railroads in Manhattan
and the Bronx, to allow passengers to
travel on underground railroads; an
other requiring the lnterborough Com
pany to build two elevators at Broad
way and l6Sth Street, and q third, reg
ulatine telephone charges in New York
hotels are disapproved on the ground
that the Public Service Commissions
have, power to secure the results
sought,
Among the bills approved is that
to prevent surrogate or county Judge
from acting as attorney in civil and
criminal cases in the Supreme Court.
