Blue Bird Styles Are
Fashions Latest Fad
Maeterlinck's Visit Has Started
New Color in Gowns and
Even Lingerie

."Blue Bird" motifs in women's and
children's wearing apparel and acces-
sories are being stimulated by the visit
Of Maurice Maeterlinck, "Blue Bird
Week." January $40, the premiere of
the opera made from the noted Bel
gian's play, and the recent Blue Bird
ball.
Blue birds embroidered on children's
garments, crib blankets, pillows, bibs,
ETC., and painted on children's furni-
ture and dishes have been in existence
for some time, but the application Of
the blue bird influence to women's gar
ments is new fact. Manufacturers
and retailers are bringing out blue bird
colors in underwear, negligees, waists,
blouses, skirts and millinery.
Several shades are bidding for popu-
larity in these lines, although most
manufacturers have been content to
adopt the shade designated by the
Standard Color Card Associations Of
America some time ago as ''blue bird"
This shade is deeper blue than the
well-known Copenhagen. A prominent
silk manufacturer has brought out q
new shade under a French name in q
blue containing more gray than the a.
sociation's selection.

Women Wanted i'm Politics
La Cuardia Urges Them to Take
Greater Interest in Affairs

F. H. La Guardia, President of the
Board Of Alderman, declared yester-
day in an address before the League
Of Advertising Women that deporta-
tions did not touch the real source of
discontent in this country.
:: The unrest is not confined to the
foreign element" he said "For ex-
ample. the institution of the American
breakfast has practically disappeared
from our country. When I was boy
out in Arizona everybody had ham and
eggs, and cereal with cream and but
tered toast for breakfast How many
people can afford ham and eggs to-
day?
ut is up to you women to get out
and hustle in your local district or
ganizations to change the whole char
acter of American politics, so that a
few men will not control the destines
OF the country and that the elected
representatives in Washington are not
controlled by a few county chairmen

New Farce at the Maxine
Elliott Theater Is a
Sound Example of the
Well Standardized School
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

Some professional reviewers com.
plain that they find the theater monot-
onous, which seems to US uniustif,ed
IN the face of the constant variety Of
theme which is continually being pre-
sented to the playgoer. On Tuesdav% % st
the Lyric, for instance. it was q rhs Hs
Light Of the World" while the nav v
play at the Maxine Elicit last NIGHT
was mo More Blondes" It will come
as no surprise to the reader. we trust
TO learn that the new play is still nm,
other farce of the Grand Ranids school
OF drama, although the beds are rather
less concentrated than usual.
There is, also, at least a suggestion
OF the influence Of Detroit in the man
ner IN which the farce is assembled.
Al! the parts are standardized. It is
Dulit OF tlme-tested and we'll weathered
matcria!, but it an axle or crankshaft
shouid break suddenly there ought not
70 De the slightest difficulty in send
ing around the corner or up the street
to some other farce where the MISSING
part could be duplicated perfectly. Like
most of the sound and stable farces
OF Its school, it is not quite able to
complete the journey on one winding.
1t gets under way quickly and works
up to good speed, but then begins
to weaken and is coughing a little at
the end of the journey.
Otto Harbach has become one of tine
most proficient farce mechanics in the
country, and if there is nothing very
novel about his new play it is gener-
ally amusing, for the first two-thirds
OF the way at least. The play, of
course, concerns man and woman
who through force Of circumstances
have to pretend to be husband and wife,
to the great CONSERVATION of their
true marital partners. In the begin
ming everybody is ready to suspect the
worst on the slightest grounds, but in
the last few minutes the usual sweet
reasonableness of a farce denouement
descends upon all the characters, and
explanations are quickly made and ac-
cepted.
The acting is good, but there is lit
tie too much of it. Such a capital
farceur as Ernest Truck, for instance,
ought not to work quite so hard for his
effects. He has never twisted and
turned so much as he did last night,
and there were times when one felt like
exclaiming, Crest, perturbed spirit!"
But although his work was marred by
an excess of energy, much of it was
amusing. Dalis Wexford was also good,
but we wish the playwright had given
him some opportunity for growing apo
plectic. Leo Donnelly and Eileen Will
son were both effective, and Miss Will
son is also decidedly personable. Anv
one, who has enjoyed the other bedroom
farces ought to like "No More Blondes"

Fight Opens ON Gilbert
Finding in Gas Rate Case
Defendants File Exceptions 10
Decision Tha. 8O-Ccnt Price
Is Confiscatory

Exceptions to the findings of A. S.
Gilbert, special master, that the So

the United States District Court by
the defendants in the case Of 'he New
York and Queens Gas Company against
Attorney General Charles d. Newton
District Attorney Denis O'Leary, of
Queens, and Lewis Nixon, Of the Pub

Mr.. Gilbert holds that during the
twelve months ended Dcccmber 81
1919, and for the first five months II
1920 Incorporating revenues Of the
company were insufficient TO pay tho
expense of gas manufacture and dis
tribution and to provide reasonable
return on the valuation of the COM
pany's property
The defendants assert that Mr. Gil
bert, in selecting the years 1918, 1918
and the first five months Of 1920 as the
basis upon which to reckon costs in
the manufac ture and distribution Of
gas necessarily had to include in his
estimates the abnormal prices prevail
ing during this period, which are de-
clared unusual and unprecedented
