"IUTCHY KOO,

Stan Stanley will play the role Gre
ated in New York by Leon Enroll
when ''Hitchy KOo" is seen at the
Oliver theater Monday evening.
Stanley was engaged to appear in
"Hitchy KoO" by Observation-Disclosures
Sampler hearing that he was not
altogether pleased with his vaude-
vile bookings through the South
and Offering him a very large salary
to drop his tour and come back to
New York to begin rehearsals for
'Hitchy koO." Stanley ended his
vaudeville tour in Birmingham. Ala.
and came straight to New York to
play the Enroll part in this sensa-
tionally successful musical comedy
revue.
Stanley is an Australian by birth,
but an American by adoption. his
big success as an eccentric come
dian of the very first rank, both in
vaudeville and musical comedy, hav-
ing convinced him that America
likes his form of fun-making even
better than his native land. In less
than four years Stanley has jumped
from a relatively unknown position
to that of a vaudeville headliner
and musical comedy star of the first
magnitude.
1t was only by the merest chance,
as Stanley tells it. that he did not
become a shoe store proprietor in
Australia instead of a leading come
dian in musical comedy in Amer
lea. The youngest of IL. children,
he was put to work at the age OF
3 years as clerk in a shoe store
at the munifcent salary of $1.25 a
week. Above the shoe store was a
/ piano agency-at the same time
| Stanley's undoing and his making.
For he used to sneak upstairs and
rag" on the piano during working
hours. And finally the proprietor
caught him at it and promptly fired
him. 1t was then the boy decided
to try making his living as an en-
tertainer. In short order he learned

.sTHE VERY IDEA"

''The Very Idea" is the right name
for the comedy which comes to the
Oliver theater on Tuesday for a
two days engagement.
IT arrives here with the recon-
mendation Of a highly successful en-
gagement in New York. where it ran
for six months at the Aston thea
ter. and with long runs in both Chi
cago and Boston.
The qualifications Of the plot are
many. but the story starts from the
fact that little Gilbert Goodhue, a
cheerful nonenity, and his able
pated. pretty wife were over-fond
of children. but had none of their
own. They might have adopted one
had not brother-in-law Alan. whose
one-tracked mind was burdened by
an EN- barge on all save eugenics
ideas, and who indeed has written
a book on the subject. stepped in
with a better solution. Why should
Gilbert and his wife content them
selves with an orphan child. when
they might assure themselves OF
the quality of their little one by
intelligent experiment in eugenics-
in other words. by choosing not the
child but its parents-to-be and
then taking over ownership in the
result? They finally agree TO his
scheme but all does not turr out
as planned and only the interven-
ton OF Providence brings solace e
the two sets OF parents.
That important parsonage whom
every one loves. namely, the hu-
man baby. is handled throughout
with the highest regard and re-
spect.
The principal comedy role OF lit.
tie Gilbert Goodhue, the childless
husband. is played ~ that sterling
Broadway comedian, Frank Readick
jr.. who handles the part
with great skill. Mr.. Readick has
appeared in numerous New York

mess along with it's own, under its
own state charter.
The capital stock of the First Nat

its last published statement, amounted
to practically $4,000 more. The cap

have been placed there by local author
ity for alleged violation of Mexican
law. American government tells Mex
lean government that it has no au-
thority to imprison Jenkins and he
must be released forthwith. Mexican
government replies that Jenkins is
under jurisdiction of local courts and
that he can be released on bond of
$500. American government, declin-

bond; but insists upon the immediate
release of the consular agent. Things
look very serious until there comes
news that Jenkins has been released
on bond. Jenkins says he did not
put up bond and does not know who
did. The American government has
not yet been able to learn who is r"-

phase of the situation has passed: but
the real issue, whether or not MeXi-

lowed to imprison an American con
sular agent, remains to he settled.
