SLEEPING PARTNERS
Beautiful Edna Goodrich viii Appear
PERSONAL---VERY. Opera House

Among the announcements made of
attractions that will play the Ben
.nington Opera House this season, none
will probably appeal more to the
ladies', than the announcement that
beautiful Edna Goodrich will appear
personally Thursday, Aug. II at that
popular playhouse in the Kday French
farce Sleeping Partners by that dar-
ing French author Cacha Guitry. The
play was translated from the French
by Seymour Hicks and has enjoyed a
years run in London and an engage
ment of over seven months at the
Bijou Theatre, New York.
1t is hardly possible that Miss Good
rich has had a role more suitable to
her than the French wife in Sleeping
Partners" With her wonderful beauty
and natural vivacity she possesses all
the charms of the French ladies of her
Imagination.
Aside from Miss Goodr.ch's beauty
she has always been accepted as one
of our best dressed stage women.
Among the many beautiful dresses she
wears in Sleeping Partners" is a
handsome afternoon dress conceived
and executed by Lady Duff Gordon.
The material is of black taffeta, and
the style shows the new silhouette,
the tight waist and the distended
skirt.
Sleeping Partners is described as
a Garden of Eden Episode in three
acts. The engagement here is for
Thursday evening, August II.

DAYLIGHT SAVING WINS.
Massachusetts Senate Shows Unex-
pected Strength for It.

BOSTON, Marrh 31.-Nothing short
of veto by Governor Coolidge will
keep Massachusetts from going into
the daylight saving game, it was made
evident by the unexpected zeal with
which the senate rallied to the bill yes
terday afternoon. Twenty eight SEN
ators were counted for it and but eight
against it, on a rising vote. The
measure was ordered to a third read
ing at the end of three hours de-
bate. Pleas to spare the farmers fell
on deaf ears. Their opposition was
overcome by the tremendous drive OF
industrial interests.
With an amendment to provide that
it shall take effect the last Sunday in
April, the bill is now pending in the
senate on the question of engrossment
another debatable stage that may moi
be reached before Thursday. If yes
terday s sweep is maintained there
will be better than thirds majority
necessary to attach the emergency pre-
amble to make the act effective a

Belief still is general that Governo
Coolidge will refuse to approve th
proposition, because he is known to b.
unfavorable toward it.
