BELASCO.
Every Little Thing"
Is a New Farce.

beginning next Sunday evening
Arthur Klein will offer Wilson Colli-
sons newest farce, every Little
Thing" at the Belasco Theater. Indi-
cations thus far seem TO justify the
statement that Mr.. Collision has hit
the bull's-eye another powerful wal
lop, and Every Little Thing" which
is Broadway bound. is likely to re-
main there longer than either OF his
prevlous hits, up In Mabers Room"
and "The Girl In the Limousine"
Most of the fun centers about a
young man from Philadelphia who is
suffering from the somewhat bewil-
dering effect OF a taxicab accident and
an infraction OF the Eighteenth
Amendment.
One scene in particular is decidedly
novel. 1t represents a French bath
room.
The cast includes Arthur Alys-
worth, Anzonetta Lloyd, Paula Shap,
lone Bright, Constance Beaumar,
Ruth Tomlinson. William II. Powell,
and Frederick Ozab.

WROTHE STARTED AS
PROMISING LAWYER

Ed Lee Wrothe, known TO burlesque
patrons as the delightful Higgins,
started life as a promising attorney
and counselor at law. Today fnds
him a star comedian with THE Twen-
tieth Century Maids" playing this
week at the Gayety Theater.
IL might be interesting TO know
that the mirth-provoking court room
scene in THE Twentieth Century
Maids" is Ed Lee Wrothe's idea OF
what a real, live. jazzy court room
ought to be. And that is the very
reason that l.. l.. w. is behind the
footlights instead of before the bar.
Wrothe studied law at the Univer-
sity OF Illinois, and so far as we know
stood well in his classes. He even
started practice. but found life in a
court room dull, and as a result sold
his furniture, law library. etc. He
has been in the show business about
six years. At one time he was come
dian In n London variety show. He
IL well known in Washington. and
his return here in his unique role OF
Higgins Is a welcome one to all those
who want to laugh.

FOKINE ILL; BALLET
HERE IS POSTPONED

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Michel
Fokine, famous Russian dancer and
originator of the Ballet Russo. fell a
sudden victim to the influenza cpl
demic. Physicians. hurriedly called
to attend him, refused to permit him
to appearSat a scheduled performance.
and his wife, Vera Fokina, went on
alone. 1t is not probable that the
dancer will be able to appear before
at least two weeks.
Due to the sudden illness of Michel
Fokine 1t has been found necessary
to postpone the appearance of Fokine
and Fokipa,s scheduled to have taken
place this afternoon 'at the National
Theater.
Mil Franklin Kline, manager of the
Chamber Music Society, under whose
local direction the Fokines were to
have given their series of dances, was
apprised by wire last night of Michel
Fokine's sudden attack of influenza.
Mr.. Kline, rather than bring Vera
Fokina, his wife, here alone when he
had announced the appearance Of
both of the stars, decided at once
that he would rather postpone the
event and arrange for later ap-
pearance of both. Present indications
point to the afternoon of Friday, Feb
ruary -, as the tentative date for
their joint performance.

yields of wheat per acre. In this coun-
try, although we produce less than one
half the English yields per acre, some
of our would-be agricultural econo-
mists tell us that we have solved our
production problems, have even al
ready given too much attention to
production. So long as American
farmers produce only about ii bushels
of wheat per acre while England pro-
duces for an average of ten years 1913
bushels of wheat per acre, it is ridicu-
lous to suppose that, while in COMPETE
ton with English farmers, we have no
further production problems calling
for solution. The great American ag-
ricultural problem is greater soil fer
tility and greater yields per acre.
