OUTLOOK FOR PEAS
THIS SEASON NOT
AUSPICIOUS NOW

The outlook for the canning season
this year is hardly auspicious. The
Wausau Canning company started op-
erations on June "a, with the prospect
Of one of the shortest runs on record.
Manager Frank Stare states that the
season Of 1921 differs from any he
has seen during the twenty-eight
years he has been in the business.
Did Not Mature.
"The peas did not mature;" he says,
they simply dried up. This has re-
suited in an .abnormally large percent
age of small peas, of miserable quail
ity, and very, very few of the larger
siftings. They did not last long enough
to get big. The Alaska pack probably
will not be more than 40%o to- 500 of
that of last year.
THE 25th of June saw 500 of the
Alaska pack in the can. BY July LIST
all but an isolated few will have fin
ished. Most Gamers have finished
their pack by the time they ordinarily
get started. Instead of having a three
weeks run on Alaskas, the average
Gamer cleaned up in six to ten days.
Same in South.
The same conditions prevail in
southern Wisconsin where the sugar
peas predominant. Many packers are
forcasting an almost total loss of the
sugar pea acreage, due also to the
weather conditions. The northern Wis
consin crop is not yet in such bad
shape as the other parts of the state.
Immediate rains and cool weather
might save the greater part Of II. This
would effect only partial relief to the
market, because only small percent
age of the total pack of the state
comes from the northern counties.
Effect on Prices.
Similar conditions are reported from
other parts of the country. California
Is harvesting less than half of the av-
erage pack and like situation pre-
walls in the Baltimore district. Unless
the New York and Michigan pea crops
are much better than those of Wiscon-
sin, which Is held to be unlikely. the
entire crop will be reduced about
fifty per cent, below the average The
.quality Is also low, and the stocks held

Its Tenth Anniversary
Stars, Past and Present, Take
Part in Celebration After
Night Performance

The Winter Garden celebrated it's
tenth anniversary last night after the
regular performance of "The Passing
Show of 1921" Several musical comedy
and vaudeville stars who were developed
at the Winter Garden took part in the
program. kilograms of congratulation
from all over the country were re-
celved by the Shuberts from leading
producers, actors, managers and nromi-
nent people not connected with the
theater.
After the regular performance Willie
Howard opened the proceedings ~
stepping to the footlights and making
speech on the significance of the oc-
casion and giving an imitation Of AL
display of the scores of stars who have
appeared there. A full stage setting
disclosed all the members of "The
Passing Show of 1921 together with
Winter Garden alumni. ,iarie Dress
ler and John T. Murray acted as joint
masters Of ceremonies. They intro
~.uced the old homefolk in song num-
bers from various Winter Garden sue
cesses.

New Burlesque a Misnomer

"Jollities of 1920" is certainly a
misnomer for the show at the Colum-
bia Theater this week. Whoever is
responsible for the titling is both lack
ing in sense of humor and many years
behind the times, for it works two
ways. Sam Howe, who makes the pro-
duction, does not seem to have grasped
the idea of "newer burlesque" which
the Columbia Amusement Company is
seeking to instill into the minds of the
various producers. He evidently has
been under the impression that horse
play and double entendre is appreci-
ated, but Mondays audiences must
have convinced him that another kind
of entertainment is relished by those
who patronize this theater.
The cast is headed by Cliff Bragdon
and Sammy Howard, neither of whom
is a real comedian. Harold Carr and
Frank Mallahan afford their chief sup
port. The Jollites Jazz Band was the
vaudeville feature

New Lyric Soprano Heard
Marguerite Dana Pleasing in
Aeolian Hall Debut

Marguerite Dana. who made her de-
but here in song recital at Aeolian
Hall last night, is a welcome addition
to our concert lists. Her voice is a
lyric soprano, high in range and of
light texture, but effectively used. She
is singer of gracious presence and in
telligence, of refinement and cultiva-
tion and nice sense of style.
Within a somewhat limited range her
program provided a good deal of va
riety, with wise avoidance of songs
of heavy aentiment or dramatic in
tensity. Especially attractive numbers
were "Aria di Poppea," by Handel
Bibb; Mozart's "Warning," Lullaby"
and "vain Suit" by Brahms; "Clair de
Lune," by Szulc, "Serenade" by
Poldowski and "Hayfields and Butter
fes," by Teresa del Riego. Her ac-
compartments were admirably played
by Richard Hageman, whose song "Hap-
piness' was her concluding number.
Miss Dana has sung with success in
Canada. She was enthusiastically re-
ceived last night by large and dis
tinguished audience and was the recipi-
ent of many beautiful flowers.

Study in Tender Passion as
Produced at Bijou Also
Discloses Phoebe Fosters
sympathetic Dramatic Art
TUE CAST

"Transplanting Jean," late adapta
tion from the French, was respectfully
restored to the original by producer
grown sadder and wiser. Yet where the
unwise rushed in, 10! there treads Lee
Shubert, trusting to his angel, and taxi
ing with him Leo Ditrichstein and
"Toto," another study in the amative
regions, adapted from the French of
Maurice Hennequin and Felix Duques-
nal. The new play was ventured last
night at the Bijou Theater.
Achmed Abdullah, the adapter, might
have been adepter. Whereas "The
Tyranny of Love- transplanted the
characteristic French play into New
York setting, the case of "Toto" is re-
versed. Some of The characters appear
sufficiently Americanized to Justify a
demand for department that does not
scandalize Main Street.
Mr.. Ditrichstein is seen again as a
great lover-that is, the middle-aged
man who loves habitually, generally
and in wide and unlimited scope in the
world of Partisan frocks. His apart
ment is his court, and his followers
call him King Toto. Back in the coun-
try Toto has wife who stews in spir-
ituality: She is bit beyond the cir
cumference of his love, and he has not
looked over the circumference in twenty
years. But he does love their daugh-
ter Louise, and because she vows she
will never be married until she has
brought her parents together Toto
quits his court, with mental reserva-
tions, ana pretends penitence. The
daughter is consequently married, and
the attendant pleasantries did not
bloom on a sensitive plant.
Toto's reformation and that of his
wife finally become complete. But the
way thereof is not the way Of Pilgrims
Progress.
Whatever distinction "Toto' has is
the bestowal of Mr. Ditrichstein and of
Phoebe Foster, who played the role Of
daughter Louise. Mr.. Ditrichstein's
portrayal of the title role was smooth
and unruffled, where there was oc-
casion for much discontinue 1t almost
brought conviction that folly is not
necessarily folly, but it all depends
upon the manners of the person COM
mitting it. You incline to forgive
the folly because of the dash and i'm
pudence with which it is done and of
the vigor of a mind valiantly defend
ing its own weaknesses. Miss Foster,
much plumper than of yore, played her
part with great deal of charm.
