went into conference with Chair

a short stay at Washington, the
governor will leave for Huntington,
W. Va, where he will make an ad-
dress tomorrow night. Then he
goes into Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
Just before leaving Cow Cox is
sued a statement attacking the
Saturday Evening Post. The Demo

zine with carrying an ''insidious
cartoon" levelled against him. Tn

Gayety-aFoIIies of the Day.

There Is no heavy story or plot
to worry about in Barney Gerard's
latest edition of The Follies of the
Day" this weeks Offering at the
Gayety Theater, and 1t, therefore,
naturally classifies itself as a musi-
cal revue, but there is an abund-
ance of hearty, wholesome laughs
in its book, plenty of tuneful must
cal numbers, cast OF clever ac-
tors, comedians and singers, a Choir
US of shapely and talented girls and
a scenic and costume investiture
that would cause the ordinary bank
account to shout for mercy.
Mr.. Gerard is again the author as
well as producer, and his proiho
pen has rounded out a revue which
takes many an original turn, and
which possesses numerous unusual
features, certain to make it q much
commented on offering. The action
shifts rapidly, but smoothly and
consistently, from spots in New
York City to points as far distant
as Mexico and China.
A gambling house in the metrop-
oils, a bull ring in Mexico, a slave
market in China, all serve to fur-
nish opportunities for out-of-the-
ordinary situations, and many odd
and humorous complications ensue.
The author, in workmanlike style,
leaves the comedians an avenue OF
egress in each instance where they
have become involved, transports
them swiftly to another locale,
only to plunge them there in still
deeper trouble. The feature scene
is rEast Is Wet" an ingeious
buriesque on the Fay Banter
drama, East Is West" The prin-
cipal members OF the cast are Harry
Welsh, Johnny Weber, Mildred VAL

The Woman in His House"
Louis B. Mayors first super-special
production, which recently broke all
attendance records at CrandaIrs
Metropolitan Theater, yesterday be-
gan a continuation of it's world
premiere presentation at Crandalls
Joy Theater, at the corner of Ninth
and Z streets. The same enormous
crowds, the same enthusiastic ac-
claim and the same wonder at it's
visual beauty and tremendous ap-
peal as upon its first appearance in
Washington greeted the reopening
of the run.
THE Woman in His House" is
based upon theme as old as the
ages-mother love-and made the
medium of one of the most power
full bits of propaganda against di-
vorce that has ever been conceived.
Briefly, it is the story of a young
married couple who drifted apart
until the breach seemed too great
to mend, but who finally were re-
united through the desperate illness
of their little son and the miracle
of healing worked by mother love.
In the title role Mildred Harris
Chaplin has the finest opportunity
and does the most brilliant work of
her career. In the opposite role
Ramsey wallace is equally force
full. other splendid characterize
tions are contributed by Thomas
Holding. Gareth Hughes, Winter
Hall, George Fisher and numerous
others.
The production is a marvel of
variety both in scene and action.
