At the Grand.
Parodies and slap-stick comedy using a
beauty chorus as background, that is the
new edition of Bring Up Father" which
opened at the Grand last night and which
plays again this afternoon and night. Car
toons are mighty hard to reproduce in per-
sonalities, but Bruce Bairnsfather's Better
ole" proved that the stunt can be pulled.
OF course. the producers of Father" did
not pretend to anything SO pretentious as
The Better OLE but they might have
tried harder to copy McManus' characters.
The only one in this piece which resem-
bled the drawings that have set nation
laughing is that of Father Jiggs himself
as portrayed by Danny simmons. Who
ever heard of fat Maggie?
The chorus is almost nine tenths of this
piece. 1t is tall one. Gosh. how tall
those girls do look and they make it seem
longer by those high head gears they wear.
All are good looking, have shapely-er-a-
limbs and can dance bit. as well as sing
a note or two. Lizette Fuller is dancer
of some merit and scored Mt least one
round of applause last night that was
unanimous.

All Americans.

THE greatest contribution from women to
tional politics will be, so many men hope and
believe, in the broader field Of practical atruism
OF sane sentiment Women are blessed with an al
most divine gift of Righteousness intuition. Maybe
they have not had as many direct bumps as have
men, but no man ever gets hard bump, that some
woman does not get it on the rebound and quite in
variably she softens its harshness and eases its
bruises.
Washington has its guests this week the
Daughters Of the American Revolution in national
convention. They body OF women who in
their ideals, their great faith in the United States
their inherited and unwayerng loyalty. have had a
tremendous influence in national affairs, without the
vote The suffrage responsibility to them will be
hardly transition. 1t will be but another form of
record in their work for their country. With them
it will be only another agency through which to
make their influence evidenced.
To the D. A. R. such thing as divided allie
glance is unthinkable. They have in addition the
womens loyalty which is far more absorbing than is
that of men, and far less selfish. Their vision is
broader 1t is less concerned with ttleness and de-
tails they less patient with red tape and more
inclined to 60 straight to the heart of problems.
1t is good for this country to have such an
organization. 1t is good to have it meet here in
Washington. 1t brings in the single organization the
women of the whole country. 1t dates back of all
sectional troubles II includes all sections 1t
is truly national with national view Its influence
is good and wholesome and such as is needed Just
now, more perhaps than at any time since it be-
came national body.
