Josiah and Maria must have had
300 chickens. with feed enough to
last 60 days.
Multiplying 300 by 60 gives the
number OF individual daily chicken
meals as 1900. Should Joslah's
suggestion be followed and Is
chickens sold off, then 225 divided
into 1900 shows that the feed
would last so days. whereas If Maria
purchased a hundred extra fowl,

Two holiday audiences OF capacity
proportion, heard the popular Savage
production, "See-Saw," at The Play
house. yesterday afternoon and even
ing and put the stamp OF Wilmington
approval upon It. "See-Saw" is pre-
emlnently a comedy OF buoyant light
hearted youth. The cast Is young, ex-
cept for a few necessary chaperones
and parents, and the chorus looks ike
a flock OF sub-debs Just assembled from
a girls boarding school. It is a hun
dred per cent pretty chorus, with many
daintily graceful dances during the
comedy.
Dorothea Mackaye, roguishly dim
pied heiress that she was, possessed
beauty enough to capture almost any
mosculine being who happened 10 be
about, be he English Lord or American
young business man. There were quite
a number Of men In the audience who
sighed heartfully whenever she ap-
peared. This petite young maiden
proved remarkably. clever in several de-
lightful dances.
The song-hit OF the play, the one that
fingers longest in memory. when TWO
Hearts Discover They're One" was sung
by Miss Mackaye and Frank Carter This
smOOth-lOwing melody was encored
over and over again. Mr.. Carter re-
ceived a big portion OF the applause In
his agile and novel eccentric and ball
room dances. He was admirable in his
Of one OF the most strenu-
Gus roles Of the play.
The blonde beauty OF Adele Hsspn
was in picturesque contrast 10 The
dark-haired charming princess. Mss
Hassan Is gifted with talents OF high
degree in many directions. Her voice
is clear and sweet. the best feminine |
voice in the company. She acts her |
urt with vivacity and charm, and her |
dancing was particularly graceful. Miss |
Hasson carried of the honOrs in two OF |
the favorite songs "See-Saw." in which I
she was sololst with. the company as
chorus and "Peep-Peep", with Guy |
Robertson and the girls.
In "Peep-Peep." one Of the most /
'trikingly beautiful failures Of the
play was given, namely a whistllng ac-
Of bird voices by Byron
IIallstead, which evoked enthusiastic
applause.
The specially dancers Of the cast.
nlrice COll'nette and Dorothy Gil
)ert, were high favorites with the au-
Hence.
Perhaps no item was more amusing
han the quartet Of colored porters, the
Twentieth Century Four" with the
'olored bell boy. Jimmie Parker. They
hot an astounding cHap game in the
midst Of thei rmusical mcdlies.
Another hit was the burlesque on
spanish rOmanticism given by Cleo
Helen, Trimmerl and Billy, the catchy
Ong, "Sen0ritag Join the Navy" by
BILLY and the sbilors, was another pop
liar affair, its popularity being doubled
when Miss Collenette Joined the navy
nd kicked the navy's caps.
Music and dancing ale the chief ex-
ellence OF this popular New York sue
ess, but there is quite a bit OF story
ttached to the comedy. There Is an
.nglish lord with his recurrent, "Oh.
earl o Lord. o Lord Oh, dearr' ef-
ectively acted by Charlie Brown. Frank
bertrand was admirable I'm the part OF
he valet, while Charles Meaklns was
BLUM, publicity man, and George Bar
Ter typifed a Detroit millionaire.
Naturally jokes on Ford cars. and
pom prohibition abounded in the play.
"See-Saw' will be seen at the Play
ouse tonight and tomorrow night I.
With a Saturday M tinee.
