EDNA PARK AGAIN
PLEASES PATRONS
Dainty Lady Presents whats Your
Husband Doing?"

Whats Your Husband Doing" as
presented last night at the Pastime the
atre, is really a most amusing play. GU
might say that most farces are amusing.
On that. opinions differ. Some of them
are tragic The play of last night as
presented by Little Edna Park and Hef
Players had scarcely a laughless moment.
1t has fun, situations, intoXication ana
dreaming lines. Although it is Varl-
alton of the good old idea of he frohc-
some restaurant at which husbands and
wives appear in surreptitious mlXup-
the ancient Pink Dominoes' notion
the variation is so novel; ana the hamor
is so American, instead Of Gainc, that
really if you cannot laugh yoI are i'll
bad way.
There is one scene, where a very
dulcet little lady CEdna Parho sleeps
patheticalIy on the shoulders of two per-
fectly helpless husbands, that titllates
most forcefully. There is an episode of
inebration that is funny without being
vulgar. The absinthe gets in its fatal
punch" and the misdemeanor lurking
in that punch causes wholesale arrest.
Oh, those "Honeysuckle Dreams"
Another thing in favor of this farce
is that the last act is quite as good as
the second. 1t takes place at police
station in Westminster county. where all
the cast appears. AS one of the hus-
bands is magistrate, he mas hlmseiI
compelled to judge his own wife. In this
scene there is a comedy police chief,
who is quite one of the funniest of
characters. The finale of the piece is
artistic. The unspoken word for which
they all seell-"Honeysuckle Inns the
curtain. and comes down with the
laughs resounding from a well-satisfied
audience.
Edna Park, with her innocuous Jag, "
was most charming. Jack Edwards and
Clay Cody as partners in crime, are
extremely funny. Ben Ezzell, as the
funny policeman, is a scream. Edythe
Bryan, as Sylvia Pennywise, had a part
that she presented in a most artistic
manner. In fact, the players were all
at their best in this sizzling comedy.
New faces were noted in the cast. A
feature well received was the excellent
vaudeville introduced between acts.

Ike Hirschman. The President

roulette wheel and several braves won
additional silent boosts.

alton, was introduced. Harrell B.

some minutes on the history of the

members of an organization whose
motto is I'VE Build" to get in be-
hind the old Spanish Trail and help
build ii. He said the idea of the Old
Spanish Trail was conceived in Pen
sacola, and declared that the honor Of

have today to wsrk with in their
search for the slayer of Thelma, six
months old daughter of Orvil Wat
kins, who was found by firemen in
blazing room last night with a deep
cash in her skull, such as might have
been made with an axe.
Gladys Comacho, 9 years old, from
the window of a house next door saw
the man enter the Watkins home and
rush out a few minutes later, she told
the police. Then, she said, she saw
burst of flame shoot suddenly from
the front of the house she was watch
ing. The firemen, who responded to
the alarm she gave, worked desper-
ate1y to save Thelma but found the
infant dead in it's crib.
Mrs. Watkins, the mother. had left
her home in charge of her 6-year-old
son Francis, while she went on an err
rand. The boy became interested in
a game in the front part of the house
and said he did not notice the coat
less mans entry. He escaped unin-
jured from the burning home.
