MISS VALESkA SURATT
IN CHINESE PLAYLET

China, which IL constantly coming to
the fore on the stage. no matter how
much the European Powers may push It
to the background on the map, once
again was evident on the stage of the
Palace yesterday. this time rallying to
the support of Valeska Suratt. Miss
Suratt appeared I'm Jade" a playlet
compounded by herself and Chester Du
Vonde. which dealt with the under
world at Shanghai and then went even
further afield by taking an excursion
into the beyond of mysticism. The ac-
tress, we'll supported by her company,
was interesting even when she did moth
ing. for her dazzling gowns always
called attention to her.
Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman. in
Tunes Of the Hour; Ed Gallagher and
Ed Shean, reunited in Egypt: William
Brack and his gymnasts and Jack wy
att and his Scotch Lads and Lassies
were others who sought to make life
painless.
At the Riverside Harry Carrolrs new
tabloid musical comedy. The Love
Race" wore the winning colors. Victor
Moore represented the peak at the
Eighty-first Street.
Proctor's Fifth Avenue coped with the
world with Patricola. Proctor's Twenty
third Street had Keegan and o'Rourke
spread on the stage and Wet Gold"
spread on the screen. Proctor's Fifty
eighth Street set great store by Dora
Hilton and company.
The Santos and Hayes Revue struck
tho leading average at the New Brigh-
ton, with Buster santos typifylng all the
solid, substantial elements OF the stage
and jacques Hayes the lighter side.

last that shot has been fired. But there
is further shooting to occur, for there
is almost enough to suggest a satire on
mystery plays like Seven Keys to
Ealdpate." and to bring this comedy
within the scope OF the disarmament
conference.
OF course every spectator has pretty
well grounded suspicion as to who fired
that shot, but the real surprise of the
evening lies In the manner In which the
Identity OF the murderer is pinned on
one OF the characters, so that first night
ers trained In the hard school of detec-
tive playgoing were baffled. This Is
only one OF the tricks. theatrical yet
rome the less effective, that the authors
have put into their piece with such skill
that they must have written the play
backwards. There Is hurried marriage
between the young banker and the ward
in his home about whom tongues nave

The cast on the whole worked In a
natural tempo even when startled by the
f4silade of shots. Jerome Patrick as the
Chicago banker. was the most solemn
acrson in the company. but perhaps he
felt the weight OF responsibility incum-
bent on looking like the handsome men
In the collar ads. However, he showed
good acting values, even II ne did pop
out his eyes occasionally. Miss Eliza
beth Risdon did her bit as the wife Of
the slain man very effectively. but Miss
Flora Sheffield. despite charming ap-
pearance. twisted her lips and her shoul-
ders enough to rouse the envy OF Miss
emily Stevens. Ronald Colmnn. Jack
Rafael and II. Dudley Hawley were
skilful enough In keeping UP the ex-
citoment and the amusement TO make one
forget the piece was arbitrarily divided
into two long acts.

The best type of citizen is the
product Of the American home. That
alone has the right to hope for the
highest place the nation can offer.
The children Of Americans ought to
be the best asset of the nation. We
would not discount the loyal citizens
who have come from across the sea,
but they can never feel the same thrill
as they pass beneath the Stars and
Stripes as does the boy who Is born to
them. The age needs to recognize his
worth and give him the best chance
possible. In him is stored the posi-
bilities of Lincoln. This sun-tanned
son of the field may be another Wash
lngton. All the forces OF the past
have yielded their heritage to him.
The social, economic and religious
forces of ten thousand years converge
IN him, giving into his hand the desti-
ny Of the future.

The animal pets We mike and learn


The animal pets we make and learn
to love do not talk to us--in words
and they use no language that we rec
ognize with one another. "The dumb
brutes,' we sometimes call them. Yet
when your dog stands at your knee
and looks up at you, how eloquent
are his eyes His friendship proclaims
itself in speaking silence; his whole
attitude is loquacious Of his fondness
and his loyalty. Two are friends when
they have learned to interpret Alright
| the silence that falls between them.
They know that the understanding Is
complete and that no words are neces-
sary to an explanation. 1t is a relief
when one may without reservation
trust and be trusted, though nothing
IS said, says Philadelphia Ledger. We
might, indeed, learn from our humble
dependent the dog a valuable lesson
of implicit faith that does not need
the medium Of writing or Of speech.
