washington. June 2f-The govern

that has given rise to the greatest
apprehension. Steamers and schoon-
ers have disappeared from the ocean
lanes. leaving no clue to the manner
or cause for their vanishing n r. no
new thing for a ship 70 sail and not
be heard from again--the incident ~
the Cyclops during the war is an Cx-
ample Of this but now three and per-
haps more steamers have gone. with
no storms reported along the routes.
One theory II that the crews of some
Of these vesseig nutinied. seized the
vessels and are taking them 70 Russia
to make up 2 BoIsheyik merchant
narine. Crewiess ships have been re-
ported drifting on the ocean One has
smashed on a beach with no trace ~
anybody having been On board
5c uncertain are the officials who
have cognizance Of the disquieting
situation that they refuse 70 state what
ships are missing; they do not see
how it could be but they say there Il
a possibility that these vessels are sim
ply disabled and may show up some
time. and they do not wish 70 alarm
the friends Of those on board by pre-
mature announcement. Again the eie-
ment of coincidence makes this i'm
probable. One ship might have lost
its rudder or suffered a breakdown
but that several ia the same zone

What's What in
New York
BY WALTER T.. EBERHARDT.

"A Bill of enforcement (CharleS
Dillingham; has been proclaimed the
hit of the season. 1t is. Convincing
in its simplicity and sincerity it pre-
SCENTS with dynamic force a drama of
hereditary insanity, pitiful in spots,
but never Eruesome. In moments
Allan PollOck's voice has the rasp
of the dog catcher and the whine
of the mendicant; but it is when his
intonations relax into plaintiNe,
childish appeal that the drama has
its most impressive moments. But
it is Katherine Cornell. the Buffalo
girl who graduated from the Wash
ington Square players, with whom
Mr.. Pollock must share the honors.
Her portrayal of the hoydenish but
withal deep-thinking ingenue part is
the finest thing the stage has seen
this season-fine in its. naturalness
and appreciation of shades. The play
has been running nine months In
London and gives every indication of
equaling that record here.
AS different from Sussex downs to
palatial edifices is Messrs. Shubert's
lavish revival of THE Chocolate
Soldier" 1t goes to show that
operettas can be musical. Compared
to the original version of a decade
ago it is superior in cast, the rendi-
ton of melodies and settings. The
Straus waltz still remains the favorite
musical offering on the program and
Tessa Kosta's singing of it is a dis
tinct hit. Donald Brian in the title
role has actually been transformed
into a singer. Formerly one OF the
most nimble dancers on the stage,
he has retained all his lltheness of
movement and added the power to
sing pleasingly.
Patrons who are disguised with
the wishy-washy material the sea-
sons new offerings have brought to
life. will be able to attend the thea
ter and be satisfied if producers will
continue to produce revivals as
superior to their original form as
THE Chocolate Soldier"

Sylvia Tell, the youthful and win
some prima ballerina of the San
/ Carlo Grand Opera Company, is a
native of Chicago. She was for
merly premiere danseuse of the
| Chicago Opera Company, but de-
| spite all those honors she is barely
| 20 years old. Unlike most cele-
\ brites, Miss Tell does not even
| claim to be an extraordinary child,
in fact, she never knew that she
had any special gift for dancing
/ until she took il up as means OF
| improving her rather delicate con-
| stitution.
She first attended a night schooi
where folk dancing was being
taught Her progress was SO rapid
that she came under the attention
of DIR. Ziegfeld, of the Chicago Mu-
steal College. Then her study or
dancing began in earnest. For four
years she worked constantly to per-
feet herself under the direction of
Marie Yung, the European ballet
mistress. At the same time she con-
tinued her school work, studied
music and later undertook the
added duties of dancing instructor
and appeared at recitals and fes-
rivals.
What few spare moments sne
could find were spent in watching
operate performances or famous
dancers. Accompanied by her
mother she also wandered through
the various foreign quarters of
Chicago studying the costumes and
expressions Of the many races
there.
1t was on her 18th birthday that
she made her debut as the premiere
danseuse of the Chicago Opera
