 Puppets have to have cousins to take them around and get them into troubles and the only way to do that is to pull them with strings. The names of tha puppets cousins are: Howard Law renee, Richard Sylvester, Knowles En- trikin, Maud Longneqker, Amy Hamlin, Marie Pinckard. Mat Searle.
 Then sometimes puppets will mist behave just like real children do. Not because they want to be naughty, but their strings get tangled and the poor puppet can't walk or turn his head or whatever he wants to do. So when- ever this happens, the curtain has to be lowered till his cousin can pull him up and fix him.. That's what cousins are good for, if they're good for any- thing at all.

illustrator. is soon to leave on an ex- tended tour with the company of ma rionettes that had so delighted and sur prised New, York audiences during tha winter at the Punch and Judy theatre. Here is an art which is little known in America but which is popular all over Europe, particularly in Italy and Spain western tour, to make marionette com panies a popular feature of the Amer ican theatre.'
 Clayton Hamilton. the prominent dra- said:
 The puppet theatre invented and de- veloped by Tony Sarg is unique in the annals of the world. This American artist has expressed more, through the medium of his manikins than any of his many predecessors. The technical car pacity of Tony Sargs inspired dolls IS unsurpassed and, according to all due prediction, unsurpassable Their bodily gyrations equal easily the acrobatic antics of any human athlete; and thelr vocal expression is rendered adequately by 8 company of professional actors.
 Each of the plays presented is espe- cially praiseworthy because of it's ad- herence to the atmosphere of make be- leve This is most to be desired in ess of the wooden-headed actors ar. forded ample evidence of the activity 2t half dozen puppeteers; but the artistry impressed upon the public by the scenery, the lighting, the narrative invention and the harmonizing sense of mise scene, must be registered to- the account of Tony Sarg. His puppet theatre has added to the joy of the living; and noth- ing can do more than that"
 The reperuory of the marionettes ms cludes this season .The Rose and the Ring" from Thackerays delightful story of that name, and a dramatization, With music. of Rip Van Wrinkle"
 The jaded theatregoers have had new sensation with these small actors, who, two feet in height, manipulated by hun dreds of invisible strings, have for two seasons enacted plays with irresistible humor, first on Broadway and later in the "hub" of culture. From all ac- counts they have been sensational suc- cess. Tony Sarg's drawings have for years been provocative of mirth and joy. both in England and America. In the marionettes which he has created one to life, as it were, speaking and moving sees this delicious sense of humor come on tiny stage.

way theatres. Tony Sarg first made his reputation in England and America, as an illustrator of humor and then applied his artistry and irresistible sense of fun to the theatre-the 'fMarionettes" which Birmingham will soon have the pleasure of seeing, being the latest artistry which he has developed.

shop made famous by Charles Dick 'ens."
 For years, Tony sarg, both in
 America and England. has been per-
 fecting his marionettes, until today they are said by many critics to stand las the most perfect examples of their
 kind. He is sending his troupe of tiny actors on tour after startling New York by the beauty of his tiny set- itings, and the life-like movements of his puppets. unanimity on the part of New York critics is rare, but all of them have been of one opinion as to the merits of MT. sargs productions In the Boston Evening Transcript the critic. Hiram Kelly Modcrwell. wrote:
 "A band of puppeteers, under MT Sargs direction, are able. by the most delocate manipulation of tiny threads. Ito reproduce Ibsenic subtleties of dra> matic feeling in their puppet actors. h "One odes not briefly recount all the marvels which glut this play, but one cannot forget the juggler and the dancer who entertain the rich ner- chant. The latter in particular is nine days wonder. With all the marvels that Bar mum could desire. MT. Sarg has an >en.erta nment to excite wonder and
 applause"
 The mechanical perfection of the Tony Sarg puppets seems to be mat ter of interest to science if one can Judge from ienssny article on the subject by A. M. Jungman, which ap- peared in the Popular science Monthly. MT. AJungman writes
 There is no telling what may de- velop from the hobby of a collector. The most life-like puppets that ever graced miniature stage came into being just because an artist had tLe hobby of collecting toys,'' Anne Stoddard, in an article on mar
 iopettes which appeared in the Century

but the more recent production of 'Rlp Van Wrinkle has proved an even more pronounced success says the New York Evening Mail.
 '"The merriment of the audience ovet the puppets movements almost drowned the voices of the actors who talked for the dolls behind the scenes"
 To quote the Boston Evening Train script:
 When Tony sarg's Maronettes were shown. in Boston for the first time 1t was an audience that fulfilled MT. sarg's prediction by succumbing to the Illusion of the dolls. When ThacKsra ay wrote his fireside pantomime and called it The Rose and the Ring, he added that it was for great and small chli- dren, and if this is true of the story as Thackeray wrote it. it is equally true of the marionettes that dramatize it. AS MT, Sarg prunes the story to set upon his miniature stage it retains not only most of the child scenes. but. much or the dialogue as it was originally written
 
 W. B. Seabrook says in The Thea tre" Magazine:
 If Tony Sarg had lived in the days of black magic, he would have been burned as a sorcerer or wizard or whatever it is in trousers that corre- spends to a witch. His puppets are so life-like that they really smell ot sorcery. By making 24 strings sprout from their fingers and joints and the insides of their little heads. and by means of improved sockets at elbows, hips, knees and ankles. he has taught them not only to make practically all including facial expression. but also to perform tricks and gymnastics of which no human is capable. i. The stage, of course with all it's scenery furniture and props, is in exact proportion to the dolls ''Now try to forget for a moment these back stage secrets and take your seat in the audience. At first you merely. see. a miniature drama en- acted by remarkable dolls manipu- lated by strings from above. But presently your imagination is seduced by the perfect proportion of it all, ond you begin to see the dolls as life sized figures; still marionettes. bui magically grown to the stature of hut man beings.
 In an article on ''the many sided genius of Tony sarg." critic of the New York Tribune wrote:
 MT. sarg is we'll known, to theatre goers as the creator of the artistic marionettes which have delighted the grown people as well as the children of New York for several seasons n a score of fairy plays, A marionette stage occupies one end of the artists huge chlntz- hung studio on Sixteenth street where privileged visitors are sometimes permitted to attend a dress rehearsal or a private performance.

FOOL OR HYPOCRfTE? By Winona Wilcox

A naive betrayal of how her emo tions can trick a woman is contain ed in this bit of war aftermath
 "Since my husband returned from France, he has had letters from an American widow who was overseas in some kind of war york; explains A WAR BRIDE. She is now in New York. Her letters come to our home when they might as well go to my husbands office.
 That woman sends them here to get into trouble with you,' says my husband
 Now the widow virtuously refuses to give him her present address; nevertheless, she has just sent him that of another girl whom they ho.h knew in Paris. My husband was an noyed end disgusted. Sincerely so- I know him well! Plainly he could easily get into correspondence with Mona Marion" if he cared to-

MORE ABOUT PAppYs HOUSE
BY THORNTON w. RUl

Jerry Muskrat was more and more sure that his big cousin, Paddy the Beaver didn't know quite as much as he might about house building. Jerry would have liked to offer some suggestions, but he didn't dare. You see he was very anxious not to dis please his big cousin. But he felt that he had simply got to speak his mind to some one. so he swan across to where he had seen Peter Rabbit al- most every niGht since Paddy began to build. Sure enough Peter was there, sitting up very straight and staring with big, round eyes at the platform of mud and sticks out in the water where Paddy the Beaver was at work.
 Well, Peter, what do you think of it?" asked Jerry.
 ''What is it?" asked Peter inno- gently. "Is it another dam?"
 Jerry threw back his head and laughed and laughed.
 Peter looked at him suspiciously. 'I don't see anything to laugh at" said he.
 Why, it's a house, you stupid. It's Paddy the Beavers new house." re- piled Jerry. wiping the tears of laugh ter from his eyes.
 III HUI ClupIQ, 1ClOiLth CNCLs ''How am I to know that that pile of mud and sticks Is meant for a house. It certainly doesn't look it. Where is the door?"
 ITO tell the truth, I don't think it Is much of house myself" replied Jerry. Tt has got a door, all right. In fact, it has got three. You can't see them because they are under wa ter and there is passage from each right up through that platform of mud ard sticksg which is the foun- dation of the house. It really is a very fine foundation, Peter; it really is. But what I can't understand is what Paddy is thinking of by build ing that great pile of mud right in the middle. When he gets his walls built where will his bedroom be? There won't be any bedroom. There won't be any room at all. It won't be a house at all-just big useless pile of sticks and mud"
 Peter scratched his head and then pulled his whiskers thoughtfully as he looked out to where Paddy was hard at work Tt certainly does look queer, indeed" said Peter. T guess Paddy isn't as smart as we thought lie was. Well. I must be moving along: I've important business to att tend to-"
 Jerry grinned He knew just what that important business was. It was
