1.-THE CONNiPTlONS OF 1921"
(By.A d. Schwartz

Those who complain that the most
that America got from the war was
prohibition and two doses of the
"hu," should be thankful that they
got back, at least, quite number OF
boys in more healthy state OF nina
and body than when they left.
This much was in evidence at 4
performance given by the members
OF the Robert H. Burns Post No. 10
OF the American Legion, Friday
night, September 2, at the FarkyseH
Theatre.
The performance was written ana
staged by Lieut.. Benz. W. Miller,
who also carried the heavy work
through eleven numbers Of delight
full performance. The show was a
revue, now so popular on Broadway
and the Avenue de lOpera.
The performance was given for
the benefit of civic betterment socic-
ties, but after seeing it, we assume
that the word benefit should have
read uplift, as the performance was
really miniature number of Vogue
or Vanity Fair. While rather lengthy
as to the printed page, each number
as practically a flash Of human wit,
enacted with the celebrity o. a four
minute joke comedian.
Lieut.. Miller was at his best III
the now famous barrel scene, and as
winsome and lovely CD Margue-
ritet in the backyard scene from
Faust. George Johnson played the
very devil in this scene, while FrNnk
Beavers, in addition to displaying a
well nigh perfect figure as a Vamp,
graced the part of Faust with a
romantic and Romeo-like "connip-
ton"
Particular attention must also be
paid to Mr.. Oliver Hebert as a Span
ish lounge lizard Of the fourteenth
century.
The work of Mr.. Charles Doerr as
the heroine in the Revenge of Jack
Dalton should in future share hon
ors with the fame Of Mr.. Julian
Eltinge.
Messrs. Leroy Haynes, Howard
Huddleston and Walter Lasseigne
gave very gratifying support in the
humorous flashes Of comedy that
moved cinema-like before critical
audience.
Mr.. Ben Fontan was a Queen
and Mr.. Sid Frederick perfect
Charley MarshmalloW.''
All this, however, brings us to
the audience psychology which
usually loves to display its tolerance,
or seeks to conceal it's intolerance
over efforts which it really apprs-
ciates, for fear Of risking it's known
reputation for good taste, or lack OF
it, in the opinion of it's neighbors.
At all events, the show was very
thoroughly enjoyed by the actors;
and that portion Of the audience
which failed to respond to the gen
eral enthusiasm over the event, hav-
ing had time to reflect over the trus:
worth of the cause, have probably
concluded, with the rest Of us, that
the "Conniptions Of 1921" produced
through the talent and effort Of the
local Post, was on the whole crec-
itale affair, and well worthy of tbs
patronage given it.
