Century Promenade
Is New Babylonian
Garden Of Beauty
Real Marathon of Music
and Frivol Amid Rich
Appointments ON Roof
Overlooking Central Park

Another garden of Babylon lowered
in beauty and opulence last evening.
The richly appointed Century Promen-
ade, on top of the Century Theater,
was added to New York's show places
where one may dine and dance and
please eye and ear. The new venture
Of the Shuberts might be the twin of the
ziegfeld enterprise on the roof Of the
New Amsterdam Theater, save that it
is rather bettex blessed in a situation
overlooking the cool woodland expanse
of Central Park and also that it has
marathon of music and frivol whose
velocity outwings all reasonable de-
sires.
The combined entertainments, which
are called "The Century Revue" and
"The Midnight Rounders," total fifty
two scenes, nineteen and thirty-three,
respectively, both for one admission
price. The principle of moneys worth
is perhaps too conscientiously applied.
In all probability the show will have
to be abridged. In that event friends
of "The Midnight Rounders" sincerely
wish oblivion upon several features
that do violence to the nice taste which
pervades the remainder. A scene in
which a renegade church deacon ex-
plores young lady's seminary is studi-
ously offensive. Some of the "Wine,
Women and Song" lines given to the
comedians, Harry Kelly and Lew Hearn,
might give place to more wholesome
humor. And just why the question of
the Empress Josephine's fidelity to Ma
poleon should be made into a topical
song of very questionable taste is an
other thing that passed comprehension,
even when the first precedent was set
in GAS You We're" to be followed by
George White in scandals of 1920"
However, it can be said for Mile. Made
Ion la Varies singing of the song that
her bad English furnishes some protec-
tion to ears of delicacy.
The Century Revue" is filled with
girl beauty, color, costume, music,
travesty, acrobatic dancing and a
wealth of specialties, mostly new, but
few familiar to vaudeville. Some Of
the principal scenes are "Conscience," :"

ographic and ranging from footing Of
the classic Greek type to Russian bal

patrons yesterday.
Pat Rooney and Marion Bent, with
their clever company of singers, dam
GERS and comedians, presented "Rings

production. 1t has several scenes and
great deal Of entertainment crowded
into small compass.
Hilda CARING and company from the

of the Genee type. She has good looks,
personality and exceptional technique
Her supporting ballet of Scandinavian
beauties was agreeable to the eye.
Mile. Nitta 10, the Partisan chan
teuse and exponent of apache song,
now a first favorite of Broadway, gave
some new numbers.
Ivan Bankoff and company danced

noteworthy is g scene Of Norwegian

worth while among the thirty-three
scenes.
A word Of explanation is required
regarding the division between the
Century Promenade and the two musi-
cdl productions, the Century Revue"
which takes place at 8 o'clock, and
the boards at 10 o'clock. Roughly
speaking, the roof is referred TO as the
Century Promenade, hut as matter Of
fact the Promenade is that portion of
the roof devoted to outdoor dining and
dancing and is restaurant and dance
place distinct from the roof theat ter.
A fee of $11O is charged as admission
to the Promenade, which includes a
seat at table. This is open at $3.50
p. m.
The, theater also is dining place,
the auditorium being filled with tables.
One may have dinner served at 8
o'clock and remain through both per-
formances. The dance floor is open
both to patrons of the thcater and of
the Promenade and from tho dance
floor an unobstructed view of the audi
torium and stage Of the roof thcater
is possible.
On Sunday evenings the entertain
ment in the theater will consist of two
star concerts at the usual hours.

Victor Herbert's considerable talent

praised certain members of the COM

"an artist--that is, composer--always
prefers to have his music we'll sung
rather than we'll danced" But it
seemed to US that there was more en-
tertainment in the steps of Hal Skelly
and the tumbles of Johnny Dooley than
in anything the singers had to offer.
Despite the testimonial offered by Vic

THE COMPETITIVE Ell
EMENT is LACKING

Under any form OF political opera
tion OF industry II is hard to cite a
ase as efficient as private manage
ment of'the same.
Take the frauds uncovered In var
risk nsurance-where officials ac-
cepted big fees to collect and expc-
diate claims Of disabled soldiers.
When charged with delays and ex-
tortions the officials said II was the
fault OF the soldiers themselves who
had given insufficient or Inaccurate
information.
It Is alleged that soldiers claims
were withheld so long that In desper-
alton. they accepted the offer to OBJ
tain settlement for fee as high as
so per cent.
As a matter OF general practice
insurance companies rival with each
other in making prompt adjustments
because OF business competition If
for no other reasons.
The competitive element Is entire
ly lacking in political operation OF
any industry.

WOOD CONSTRUCTION
RESISTS CALIFOR-
MA QUAKES

Recent earthquakes in California
have turned the attention of the ma
ton generally to this type Of misfor-
tune and its results. In a general
discussion of these earth tremors in
the Scientific Monthly. DR.. Andrew
II. Palmer has this to say with re-
spect to the suitability of various
types of construction to such condi-
tons:
steel frame and REINFORCED con-
rete buildings will stand through a
severe earthquake. Wooden build
ings, too. will remain unframed in
destructive shocks. since they will
yield to strains. Brick and concrete
block buildings are easily destroyed.
But the most dangerous type Of con-
struction is the primitive adobe,
which is still in use among Mexicans
and Indians. The lives lost in the
Imperial valley earthquake Of June
90, 1915. resulted from the collapse
Of adobe buildings"

THE public anxiety for CARTEL

THE public anxiety for Garfield
l. through hls long battle with
death was deepeped by general dread
Of the vice presidents succeeding to
the presidency. The people as whole
knew nothing of Chester Alan Arthur,
except that he had been only lately
removed from the collectorship Of the
port Of New York as q machine pol
itician, and that he had been nOmi-
mated for the vice presidency us q
henchman of Roscoe Conkling.
After Athur had been sitting In the
vice presidents chair only little
more than two weeks, he opened biz
White House envelope one day and
flushed as he glanced at the unexpect-
ed cOntents-the nomination Of n hated
"Half-Breed" to the collectorship OF
the port Of New York. With an ea-
cited gesture, he summoned Senators
Conkling and Plat, and the three
"Stalwarts' famed up with rage at
the challenge to them from the new
administration. When the New York
senators resigned thir seats and ap-
pealed to the legislature of their state
to re-elect them as protest against
the administration, the spectacle Of
the vice president descending to that
