what the author intended the char
acter should convey-a tender, loyal
wife, yet human, altogether de-
lightful friend. Marie Newkirk as
the maid, Draycott and S. Sydney
Chon as the efficient English valet
are excellent. The general atmos-
phere of the production, while smart
and sparkling, is clean and whole
somely refreshing. 1t may truly be
said that "Tea for Three" is de-
lightful mental stinulant with no
depressing after-effects.
Much interest is evidenced in the
list of principals who interpret the
roles in "The Chocolate Soldier"
which will be heard at the Brandeis

This description is evidently ac-

Morrill,, the "Nadina" of the cast, is
the possessor of asvoice of excep-
tional beauty. power and hexibility
and in interpreting the difficult music
which Oscar Straus has assigned to
the part, she is at her best. Miss
Morrill, is favorite whose vogue is
not limited to Broadway, and having
decided preference for genuine
comic opera rather than "jazz," she
is winning new partisans nightly by
her excellent singing and charming
personality. The others of the cast

his bachelor hero pre-eminently the

And the fact that Norman Hackett,

caused him to speak. Here are some
of them and if they're not trifle
audacious, coming from the pen of
an unmarried man, we don't recog-
nize audacity when we see it:
"All wives lie to their husbands
all sensible wives"
"A man may not have loved, but

"The objectionable SIM" in story
form, first appeared sas "a serial in
the Red Book, and was later publish
ed in book form by Harper & Bros,
New York. 1T has already achieved
national popularity when Major
Hughes himself qdite by accident,
discovered that New York City public
library officials were hampering the
circulation of the story on the
grounds that its subject matter was
not conducive to the best interests #
the general public. Investigation
proved that while "The Unpardon-
able Sin" was available in a number
of the branches Of the New York
Public Library, the number Of copies
on hand was not nearly adequate to
supply the demand of those who
wished to read it and, moreover, that
it was not the desire of the public
library officials that the general pub
lie be afforded the same opportunity
to read "The objectionable Sin" thai
was accorded them in the case ct
other pieces of popular literature.
When this condition was brought
to light, ex-President Roosevelt wrote
one Of his Characteristic letters, criti-
Ching the public library people for
their unauthorized censorship, and
advocating the widest possible circu-
lation of the story in the interests
of public welfare,
"The objectionable Sin" was sold in
the hundreds of thousands before this

Since the beginning OF the war the
