About Gail Kane in
The Great Illusion"

A great deal of the effect attained
by Gail Kane, who plays an impor-
tant part in "The Great Illusion"
which A. H. Woods will present at
the Shubert- -Garrick Theater on Sun
day night, will be due to the way
the actress dresses" the part. The
role requires II, and there Is nobody
on the American stage in whose hands
that feature could be more safely left
than In those of Miss Kane. Admit
ting that the selection of clothes and
the wearing of them is an art to the
feminine half Of the world, Miss Kane
may be considered as fine an artistic
in this respect as she is in inter-
preting the role that the dramatist
has created for her

"Nightie Night" to Be
Seen Soon at BelascO.

"Nightie Night" which hasn't lost
a laugh between New York and Wash
ington, where it will be presented by
Adolph Klauber early in February at
the Shubert-Belasco Theater, at the
conclusion of it's successful run at
the Princess Theater, is warning
against meeting your old friends af-
ter marriage. If Billy Moffat hadn't
met TriXie Lorraine upon the train
and promised to reconcile her with
her husband, there would have bqen
no broken wrist-watch, no pink pa
jamas, no troubles in the Moffat fam
ily-and no "nightie night"
Billy and Trixie did meet, however.
and when Billy's attempt at recon
ciliation loses him his wife, his best
friend, and his breakfast, all the
laughter that fills the theater doesn
seem to make up an asset for Billy
in his troubles.

Early in 1919 an American officers
inn was established in Stratford-on-

American headquarters in London,
and also entertained at teas and

Dramatic Editor Tho Times: In

An Appreciation of
CAPTAIN Bairnsfather.

The impending American lecture
tour of Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather, tne
famous British cartoonist and humor-
list. has called forth eulogistic let
ter from ]. e. Harrison OF Baltimore:
who acted as general secretary OF
the Washington Inn, London, during
the war.
In speaking of Captain BARNS
fathers popularity on both sides of
the Atlantic, Mr.. Harrison says: He
will visit America not only as a gal
lalt soldier, a finished artist, noted
author and a brilliant lecturer, but
he also has the distinction OF having
been one of the most genial and gen.
erous of hosts that Americans knew
while in England, during the war
period. Throughout 1918 ard the
earlier part OF 1919 scarcely week
passed that one or more OF our oricers
did not spend a few days in Captain
Bairnsfather's beautiful house near
Stratford-o Avon, where his father
and mother gave them a hearty well
come.
Provisions were rationed very
strictly during a part of this time,
and it often meant sacrifice or the
part of the Bairnsfathers in order
that their American guests might
have an abundance. l could mention
more than fifty officers from all parts
Of the United States who have spent
week-ends at the Bairnsfather home
and every one of them has told me,
over and over again, of his delightful
remembrance of his visit. Not only
did the Bairnsfathers entertain our
men at their home, but they also
arranged with friends in Warwick

About o'clock yesterday afternoon J. D. Kirby bought an automatic re- volver at q pawnshop. An hour later he had been found guilty in police court on a charge of carrying a con cealed weapon, and placed in jail with out bond to await a county charge of threatening to commit an offense
 After Nick Papo. the arresting of ficer, testified to finding the revolver fully loaded upon the person of the defendant, Judge Thomas asked Kirby why he carried the weapon
 T was just taking 1t home so that my wife would have some protection Kirby answered. 'The officer arrested me just about 10 minutes after | had purchased the revolver.
 Didn't you quarrel with q man named Smith just before you bought the revolver" Chief of Police Brisbois asked.
 This question brought a very de- tailed explanation from Kirby He told the court he had been discharged at the ice plant where he worked, and his loss of employment He admitted having quarreled with smith
 T handed Smith an ice pick and told him if he. was q man he would stab me with it." Kirby testified Judge Thomas confiscated the re- volver and suspended sentence on Kirby. Immediately after the police court trial Kirby was taken into GUS : tody on the complaint of F. Fl. Smith and is being held without bond on ! charge of threatening to commit an offense.

'CLARENCE" PROVES
 CHARMING COMEDY
 ADMIRABLY PLAYED

While 'sClarance' which opened brief engagement at the Elks last even ing, might be called one of the war aftermath plays, it is perhaps the only one in which no attempt is made to make capital out of a soldier boy by bringing in the usual devices that make patriotism paying proposition. Other than to make Clarence a soldier for hero worshiping purposes, Booth Tar kington in his clever comedy has not resorted to flag methods, as the result of which he has produced Something decidedly different, diverting and de- lightfu1.
 Clarence" is unquestionably the most amusing play that has been booked here this season. It is a com edy that is singularly free from cheap smartness and is so replete with gen. uine humor that it is a real joy from the first to the final curtain. So many attractions have unrishtfully been termed "screamingly funny" that it has lost it's meaning to the public, but Clarence" is all that and more.
 The lines are unusually bright and II is largely on the cleverness that the play stands. for there is only a thread of a. plot. It is sufficient to hold the interest. however, and to give the dram atist opportunity to draw a few of the most amusing characters the stage has known for some time. There is the tired business man" the irritable and jealous wife, the goyerness, but best of all there are the son and daughter-to say nothing of Clarence.
 Clarence is, of course. the handsome returned soldier who through chance literally becomes one of the family, to be adored in turn by each and every member. Robert Adam, who plays the part, is sufficiently good looking and able as an actor to make this quite possible.
 Ruth Gordon, ITS the impulsive young daughter who transplanted her affee- tion from a grass widower to "Clar- ence," gave a remarkably clever per formance- She was quite up to the de- mands of the ingenue role and was most effective as a foolish young school girl
 Gregory Kelly. her brother, was ideal in the young collegian no one can pie ture as well as Tarkington. He inter- preted the role with just the right touch of seriousness that accentuated the hu- nor. He should be given credit for more than half the laughs of the de- lightful evening.
 The entire cast was splendid. Par ticularly pleasing was the acting oi Byron Beasley, who is always sincere in his work. Grace Filkins, as his wife added quite a bit of color to the play and Betty Murray as the governess was also delightful.

k. However, her mother will not marry until Peggy herself is married. So Peggy. who does not wish 10 marry because of her books, devises 9 scheme for deceiVing her mother. Because of her .'all- of sudden" manner she hur- riedly carries out her plan without thought as to the consequences, the result being that both herself and the Crackenthorpe family are placed in very delicate and difficult situa ton. The scenes which follow bring out story full of mirth and interest.
 Judging from the response given by the large audience which nearly filled the house, the story lost nothing through it's presentation by the ana teurs It would be hard to find any where a person better suited than Helen Casey for the part of Peggy O'Mara Opposite her, Allen Camp bell as the Honorable Jimmy Keppel, played his part in a manner which was largely responsible for the greeting across to the audience the many fine points of the complicated story. The part of Lady Crackenthorpe was taken | by Dorothy Brownfield, who put a spirit of real life into her work which 1 IS seldom seen off the professional
 stage.
 The diffieult- part of Mrs. O'Mara was carried in splendid manner by
 Beulah Chambers. OrviIle Tucker, as Lord Crackenthorpe, and Edwin Ward, as Major Archie Phipps. the
 brother of Lady Crackenthorpe
 brought many a laugh from the audi
 ence by their excellent work. Ruth Gill. as Millicent Keppel; Orne Lewis as Jack Menzies and Silvia Polling, as Mrs. Colquhoun, along with Brodit ! Campbell and Raymond Blount as the buffers, did ample justice to their parts and aided geratly in making the play
 a success.

'ALL-OF SUDDEN PEGGY" REAL TREAT
 AS SENIOR OFFERING

\ truly fitting climax to the long series of dramatic productions staged by the high school during the past school year was the presentation 1f the famous comedy. All f-a- Sudden Peggy" written by Ernest Denny, by the senior class last night. The way in which the young actors brought out the many excellent and amusing points of an extremely novel and interesting story was a revelation to those who did not realize the abundance of real ability which the seniors had to draw from. Every one of the cast caught the spirit of his part and worked into the whole scheme of the play as though the entire story had been writ teh especially for them
 The whole affair was one of the most enjoyable entertainments in every way put on in the high school a practice to attend them for the past several years. The artistically deco rated auditorium, the beautiful stage settings, the costumes of the actors and the excellent quality of the work of staging the play itself. together with the music furnished by the high school orchestra, and group of readings by Miss Irma Jacobs. all combined to make the performance a huge success
 l-of-a- Sudden Peggy" is a com edy which contains many a laugha ble incident and a the same time an in tensely interesting story chock full of life and pep and free of a single dull moment. The plot deals with the ef- forts of the Crackenthorpe family to prevent Lord Crackenthorpe from marrying Peggy O'Mara, whose mother IS the widow of an Irish professor Peggy is not in love with Lord Crack enthorpe. but finds that her mothei
