THE PA SSTNG YEARS HAVE BEEN KINDTO 'ERN1INIE"

where are the police most numerous?"
asks De Wolf Hopper as Ravennes of
Francis Wilson as Cadeaux in "Erminie."
"On the pay roll" responds Cadeaux.
Cadeaux and Ravennes had a perfect
right to know where the police were in
the most numbers because they are just
Jail birds. And they tell you all about
themselves In a strange melody called,
'Downy Jailbirds of a Feather"
In other words, am trying to say that
although "Erminie' is about 80 years
old this sweet comic opera is still young
and is still highly enjoyable. A visit to
English's last night revealed a gorgeous
revival Of 'Erminie" with Mr. Wilson
in his original role and Mr.. Hopper as
Ravennes who might be termed the mas
ter mind of the merry crooks of England
Of years gone by. Then there is a
chorus which is not only pleasing to the
eye but is able to sing the tuneful Jaoko-
bOwski score as it should be rendered.
Then there are such highly efficient ar
lists as Alexander Clark as Chevalier De
BrabaZon; Schwartz Frasier, as Eugene
Marcel who sings the famous song, "Star
OF Ny Life" MSdge Leasing, she Of the
pretty figure, as Captain Delaney; Per
clval Vivian as the mental Simon; Lii
Ian Chaser as Erminie; Rosamond
Whiteside as Javotte, who sings the only
added song to the original score, called
"Ohe, Mama" and many others.
What joy it is to hear Miss White
side sing "Che, Mama" with a dash of
submission and that attribute is wiped
away by a worldly insolence, all done
with so much charm. Again Miss White
side was enjoyable in the second act while
singing the tuneful "a Woman's Dress"
Miss CHASER, of course, stopped proceed
1ngs with Lullaby" the song which
aided IN making "Erminie" a hit years
ago. Here we have real melody with
D verse so tender that ones thoughts go
back to the days when mother sang her
own lullaby. This song is one of the
many bright lights Of the revival. Need
less 10 say that Mr.. Wilson was at his
best while singing the ''Dicky- Bird" song.
Mr.. Hopper struts out on the stage and
remarks, why Didn't Revive Wang?"
and with that he recalls memories in
song. He sings the elephant song from
Wang" Oh, how sweet are the melody
memories revived by Mr.. Hopper and
Mr.. wilson,
It is in the first act where Hopper
and Wilson are seen to their best ad-
vantage from a comedy standpoint. It
is there that the old-time theatergoers
recall the days long departed, when Mr.
Wilson was more youthful Ca
deaux than he Is today, but his CadeaUx
today reflects his splendid artistry
At the close Of the second act Mr.
Hopper and Mr.. Wilson appeared before
the curtain. Hopper asked Wilson to
speak first but Wilson insisted that

Chilcote, member of Parliament, who
is drug fend, and the other John Loder
who is Chilcote's double. 1t is not neces-
sary to go into detail regarding the
ability of Mr.. Post to play both roles.
In his hands, both characters are the
finished product of splendid and sincere
acting. In fact Mr.. Post is worthy Of
the popular acclaim which has been given
him as the result of his work in this
play.
The world touring cast includes Elwyn
Eaton, George Cowell, Elizabeth De Puy,
Katherine Emmett, Katherine Raynore as
Robbins, who is very fine; Ida James and
many others.
The cast lends the necessary support
to the star to make the play, although
highly improbable, possesses moments
of rare dramatic values.

a little further. The lady is sawed in
two before the eyes Of the audience.
There is nothing bloody about it and the
lady is whole in the end, but all the
same the audience sees her sawed in two.
The victim" is bound hand and foot
and a rope is tied around her neck for
good measure. The usual COMMITTEE
from the audience" does the tying and
testfies that the ropes are tight. The
lady is then put in a rough box, re-
sembling nothing so much as the boxes
undertakers use to ship collins. There
are holes in the box and the ropes are
passed through them. The committee
ties knots in the ropes and takes the
added precaution of holding the ends.
The lid Of the box is then closed and Sc
curely fastened. The box is laid on
frame work so the audience can see over
and under it.
Now for the dirty work There are
Sits in the box and sheets of glass and
of steel the latter looking like certain
widely used razor blades built on giant
scale, are passed through the body of
the poor girl. In fact, the box is thus
divided into eight compartments so small
no human being could creep into one
of them. But this is not sufficient. Two
men appear with a large crosscut saw.
They rapidly saw the box completely in
two in the middle Anybody can see
that Then the steel and glass are pulled
out and the ends Of the box pulled apart
1t is a rather tight fit, but the lady is
revealed as whole as ever.
How is it done? Search us. See if you
can figure it out.
This is only one act on an unusually
good bill. One Of the most pleasing
numbers is that Of the Jones family.

act which apparently tends to picture the
work Of the Juvenile court in handling

JACK REID

Costumes of unusual richness and a
chorus that is passing fair are features
of Jack Reid's show THE RecCrd Break

appears in the leading part with his Irish

The music is the usual jazzy type and
some of the members Of the company

rather daring costumes.

MONSIEUR ADOLPHUS AND co.
ARE EASY WINNERS AT KEITHS.

Monsieur Adolphus and company in
Bohemian Life" are the outstanding
hits on the new bill at Keith's. The lii
as a whole does not possess the reg
ular Keith strength. Monsieur Adolphus,
who closes the show has gathered about
him three talented women, one an ex-
pert violiutst and two dancers, one a
gifted artist. Adolphus is a dancer Of
no mean ability, and his efforts were
appreciated yesterday afternoon oy the
audience which greeted his efforts with
applause. The toe dancer with this COM
pany is a delight and her very presence
is refreshing. 1t is a genuine pleasure to
witness acts Of such reansment and
ability Of the individuals connected
with it
Ola Olsen and Chic Johnson, who ap-
pear next to closing, could have received
tons of praise In this department for
their clever fooling, If they had not at
tempted to trife upon the patriotism Of
the audience. These men were the big
hits Of the show up to the time that one

AGAIN THE MASQUERADER"
is WITH US AT THE MURAT.


Mr. Guy Bates Post before undertaking
what is called world tour Of THE Mas
querader" again is on view at the Murat.
1t vas through the persistent effert Of
Mr.. Nelson TrOwbridga of the Murat that
Mr.. Post was booked at the Murat in
THE 'Masquerader" for a three day en-
gagement which opened last night
Besides being aided by the success Of
the novel of the same name 1.-THE Mas
querader' has the services of Mr.. Post
who has played the dual role for several
seasons. The road" has been kind to
Mr.. Post in this play and his business
season after season has been more than
satisfactory.
Mr.. Post is remembered by most theater
goers in these parts by his appearance in
The Bird Of Paradise" years ago. Al
though THE Bird" is probably forgotten
by Mr.. Post, but the public cherished
him in that role about as much as it
does in THE Masquerader." When one
thinks of this play, Mr.. Posts name is
naturally associated with 1t. He has
made It a popular and an artistic sue
cess. In fGct, his ability covers mp some
visible defects Of 1.-THE MasQuerader" as
a dramatic composition.
Although this play in the hands of Mr..
Post has been q commercial success, the
actor recently stated in an interview
that he has never produced a play for
money.
He claims;
"I have never produced a play for
money. have never chosen a play be-
cause It possesses commercial possibili-
ties. I have always selected a play be-
cause 1t appealed to my artistic temper
ament, had charm, and yet the plays I
have selected have always been money
makers, which proves, to my mind, the
great public possesses more real artistic
temperament than the average theatrical
manager gives It credit for having"

dressing rooms arm in arm.
l could go into length regarding other
fine points of this revival but it is neces-
sary only to say that "Erminie' is stiH
young and that both Mr.. Hopper and
Mr.. Wilson have kept the gray out of
their voices and their legs.
1t is not necessary for me to urge at
tendance at English's this week. Every
one knows that "Erminie" is a tuneful
gem which has lived for these many
years and will continue to do so. Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Hopper are equally ia
nous and are both great artists-that
the world knows. The company is excel

The butter market closed last

market probably will work still
lower, until it reaches a storage
basis.
Fresh eggs are plentiful on all
markets and receipts are greater
than for the same time a year
ago, with an easier tendency and
lower market at the close of the
week. Due to the very large
quantity in storage, as compared
with this time last year, less in

Live poultry prices have ruled
a little easier during the week,
as the demand for the Jewish
holidays has been well supplied

OKLAHOMA PROTESTS
AT BOARDING CROWS
(By Associated Press)

Still Water, Okla, April rs
Oklahoma's board bill for crows
from its sister states-north.
east, south and VESTS $780,
900 annually. This pest of the
air, who migrates to Oklahoma
for the winter holidays, is one OF
the most costly visitors to which
the state pays host.
According to a report made
here today by c. E. Sandborn
professor of entomology at the
Oklahoma A. & M. College crows
cause a loss of more than this
sum to farmers each year, chiefly
through their consumption OF
grain. The figure was arrived
at on an estimate of 100000
crows consuming $4,000 worth
of grain per day for 120 days,
the average period of their So
Iourn in the winter.
"Oklahoma boards the crow
during the winter and thus raises
a heavy burden from the north
ern and eastern states" the re
port says "where it appears to BE-
more Of summer resident than
a winter pest. The have acquired
the habit of decoying others and
returning here until 1t appears

adjoining states winter here.
The nature Of the farm crops al
this time of year and the timber
lands makes good refuge fol
them"
