Miss Craft in Operetta
''The Secret of Suzanne'' and
ssPinafOreo Sung at the Park

This week at the Park Theater Wolf
Ferrari's one-act opera, "The Secret of
Suzanne" precedes "Pinafore," with
Miss Marcella Craft as Countess Gil,
Morton Adkins as Count Gil, and Frank
Moulan as Sante, the dumb servant
Suzanne's secret is her cigarette, but
her jealous husband suspects her of a
lover until he learns the truth and de-
cides to share her innocent diversion
For this ingenious libretto the COM
poser has written charming music, Mo-
zartian in character and melodic fresh
ness, combined with very modern in
genuity in delneating the smoke that
curls upward from the delighted
countess's cigarette.
Miss Craft was a somewhat mature
countess, but she sang with customary
intelligence and acted with the tech
nique Of long experience on the oper-
attic stage, Mr.. Adkins was capital as
the count, and Mr.. Moulan's Sante was
amusing.
Irene Williams, Gladys Caldwell,
Sarah Edwards. Mr. Danforth, Mr. Pea
cock, Mr. Mouan and Craig Campbell
are in the cast of the Gilbert and Sui
liyan opera.

National Budget
Urged by Butler
AS u. S. Policy
Columbia President at Hear
ing of Senate Committee
Says 1t Would Promote
Economy and Efficiency
NeW York Tribune
Washtu0tou Rureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Dr. Nicho-
las Murray Butter, president of Co.
lumbia University, who recently an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for President, ap-
peared before the special Senate COM
mittee on the budget to-day in behalf
of budget legislation.
A budget system, said DIR. Butler,
would establish better cooperation be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the United States govern
ment in the formulation of a policy
for conducting the public business.
"The same principles which govern
the organization and conduct of any
great undertaking, whether it be
railroad, bank, great retail store
or university, apply to the conduct
OF the peoples business through gov
ernment," said DR.. Butler.
Chief Political Event
DR.. Butler said that he favored max
ing the Secretary Of the Treasury a
true finance minister by divorcing his
department from all non-fscal bureaus
and by placing upon him the respcn-
slbility for formulating the Presidents
annual financing program.
He recommended that Cabinet officers
be given the privilege of the floor to
defend their estimates as contained
in the budget before the committee of
the whole. and strongly emphasized the
necessity of Congress concentrating
Its appropriating powers in single com>
mittees of the House and the Senate
to complete the reform in view.
"The chief political event of the
year." continued DR.. Butler. Should
be the presentation and adoption of
the annual budget. Upon this the in
terast of the people and of the press,
as we'll as of the Congress, should and
might be concentrated
"The budget would very quickly come
to be looked upon by the people as the
method in and through which they
could get their wishes carried out and
hold responsible for any failure to
carry them out either the President or
the Congress, or both as the case might
be-"
Great Step Forward
DR.. Butler said that it would be a
great step forward if Congress, in con-
nection with the establishment of q
budget system, were to continue the
provisions of the Overman act, ap-
proved May 20, 1918, authorizing the
President to coordinate or consolidate
the executive bureaus, agencies and Of
tlces, and for other purposes in the in
terest of economy and more efficient
concentration of government" and
strike out the two limitations now con-
tanned in the act.

New York City, who reorganized the
financial system of the Mexican gov
eminent, also testified before the SEN

study Of the practice now in force in
administering to the nations finances
from 80 to 40 cents out of every dollar
paid by the taxpayers is wasted. He
recommended budget transmitted tc

ury and voted upon by Congress in a

The ubiquitous Fatty Arbuckle also
is at B. S. Mosss Broadway. We got in
the theatre just as he was selling the
Ford to the customer and watched his
antics for the fourth time since Sunday
noon.
The feature picture is Alice Joyce in
"Slaves of Pride" Vitagraph special
adapted by George Randolph Chester.
Percy Marmont is again Miss Joyce s
leading man, but this time he is an
extremely disagreeable person who
bullics his wife and wants his own
way all the time. There is a suspicious
sincerity in his work which makes you
hope that he does not act that way at
home.
Percy Marmont's work makes you
feel dissatisfied with most other lead
ing men, and he is the only screen
actor we ever have seen who can go
mad and see things and follow visions
around the room without appearing
ridiculous.
We never shall forget the picture
in which James K. Hackett embraced
the piano lamp, thinking it was his
lost wife, and yet when Mr.. Marmont
does nearly the same thing in "Slaves
of Pride" it is impressive.
Miss Joyce as the girl bride, who
calls herself "serf", and who finally
breaks the stubborn will of her lord
and master. is delightful. The story is
slight but pleasing, and the cast is good

On the Screen
Epid Bennett Charming in ssThe
Woman in the Suitcase
at the Rivoli
By Harriette Underhill

Lest others go to the Rivoli as did
we, believing that "The Woman in the
Suitcase" is some sort of mystery
story wherein a woman disappears into
suitcase and reappears at a word of
command, may we not say that it is
nothing of the sort? The photograph
OF the woman in the suitcase is what
1T really means, only that would be
too long to go up in electric lights.
At first one feels cheated when he
hnds out that it is not really a murder
mystery with a guessing contest, but
Enid Bennett soon woos you into a
good humor with her wilcs and you
forget all about your original con-
lecture in wondering how long it viii
be before she will catch Dolly with
the goods.
After series of disappointed bride
roles, Miss Bennett is cast as sweet
girl graduate who believes that her
father has no faults. This is a common
belief among sons and daughters. 1t
isn't, perhaps, that they really think
father is SO good, but that he is so
old. That is how Mary Moreland felt
about her father, who must have been
all of forty, and when she discovered
q PlCCuIc III Ills suitcase ldDeleQ All
the love in the world from Dolly" she
was probably more surprised at Dolly
than she was at father
But Mary also is fond of her mamma,
and so she resolves to Illustrate the
fascinating Dolly and keep father be-
side the home fires. To do this it is
necessary to find out who Dolly is, and
this she does by inadvertently being on
busy wire when father is telephoning;
and then she must meet Dolly and go
to her house, and for this she must
find an escort who knows his way about
in the white light district of New York.
In this way Mary finds a husband for
herself, and from what we saw of this
bridegroom we certainly should say
that it pays to advertise.
This part is delightfully."- played by
Roland Lee, and the outcome should be
an incentive to all young girls who
contemplate saving father. The story
is by c. Gardner Sullivan, and the di-
rection by Fred Niblo.
An Arbucklc comedy, which is one Of
the best we ever saw, is called "The
