Leu Kelly Says He
Likes BurlesQue Best

"You ask me what l think of bur-
lesque; we'll, ! think it is the great
est form of amusement on the stage
at the present time" Lew Kelly,
dope" comedian at the Gayety is
all enthusiasm over the form of en-
tcrtainment that he entered several
years ago when Jack Singer signed
him.
I'VE all admit that the burleque
shows of the old days were not pro-
duced for the women and children.
All is different today. There is no
vulgarity aor suggestiveness. The
burlesque Show of today is nothing
more than a great big musical
comedy with a few added features.
They are the sort of shows the
people want, the record-breaking
audiences that are packing all of the
houses on the Columbia circuit prove
that. Go to a matinee or night per-
formance of any burlesque show and
you will find as many women pres
ent as there are men. That proves
that burlesq,fe shows of the present
appeal to the women folks. The
burlesque shows have come to stay.
Each year they get bigger and this
season finds a wonderful lot Of
shows on the Columbia circuit"

John Murray Anderson,
"F0Ilies" Creator, Was
Sch0Oled by + ee

John Murray Anderson creator
and director of the unConven-
tional Greenwich Village Follies,
and credited with the supreme ar
,istry Of the production, had been
dabbling for many years i'll mat
tcrs pertaining to period decorating
before he took up professional stage
work. He is the son of a former
governor general of Newfoundland,
John Anderson, and although he was
born in St. Johns, Newfoundland, he
has spent most Of his life in England
and is, to all intents and purposes,
all Englishman. He was educated
at Bishops college i'll Newfoundland,
at Rugby III Warwickshire, and at
Lausanne i'll Switzerland. 1t was his
fathers plan that he should enter
chambers and prepare himself for
parliament. but political life did
not appeal to him. His early ac-
quaintance with the practice of stage
production was gained in the COM
pany of Sir Herbert Tree.
A trip to New York in an attempt
to dispose of his first play brought
him in touch with the American
stage. 1t was Anderson who built
and operated for the late Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish and her friends the first
cf the so-called little theaters in this
country, the Little Silver theater in
East Thirty sixth street, New York.
Later he operated the Cabaret
Barn" for two seasons at Bar Har-
bor-also, of course, society ven-
turc.
The Greenwich Village Follies"
was his first work on the American
stage. The success he met with IS
best indicated by his host of imi-
tators. He followed this with whats
i'll a Name and his genius contrib
uted to the great success of the Sec
ond edition of the Greenwich Viii
lage Follies, now on display at the
Snubert theater, New York. Mr..
Anderson is now in London where
this month he will produce for c.
B. Cochran the most lavish revue yet
attempted in London. "The League
Of Nations" at the Coliseum.

Married Life of Helen
And Warren


Gus other ballets followed-with cos
tunes amazingly abbreviated,

cost 'em much" commented Warren.

"Oh, | don't know" drolly.
That's matter of taste. Saves the
laundry bill, too"
Before the final scene a manager
came out and made some announce
ment which was received with buzz
of approval.
There was stir of expectancy as
the curtain rose on a gorgeous orien-
tai setting. A fountain shot up and
the stage swarmed with veiled fig
ures. The wells, gauzy thin, revealed
the supple forms beneath.
Then the stage was darkened, and
a spotlight thrown on a curtain i'll
the rear. Slowly it parted-disclos-
ing the climatic sensation OF the
evening.
On a black velvet wall glittered a
huge rhinestone SPIDER web, In the
center hung a woman with out
stretched arms--her costume con-
sisting of a tasseled diamond orna-

chain about her waist.

searchlight shown upon her. Then
slowly, amid the applause of the au-
dience, came the final curtain.
1t was not until they were outside,
with the chill air cooling Helen's

ticn at the closing tableaux.
"Oh, | NEVER want to 60 to a
place like that again" .

through the outpouring crowd.

HAYWOOD LOSES
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Supreme Court Refuses
to Review Cases of
|. w. w. Leader

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SUI
preme court April IL refused to re-
view the conviction of William D.
Haywood and more than seventy mine
other members Of the /. w. w.. on
charges Of having conspired to OBJ
struct the war activities of the gov
ernment.
Petition for review was based on
the contention that the federal
agents in conducting. raids on the
homes and offices of officials of the
l. w. w. on September 5, 1917, acted
without search warrants and that the
evidence thus obtained was illegal,
under recent rulings of the supreme
court.
A refusal of the supreme court to
interfere closes the long fight to save
Haywood and his associates from
prison. Only a presidential pardon
can now prevent their entering upon
the sentences imposed.
Specifically Haywood and his as
sociates were charged with obstruct-
ing the war draft and violation of
the espionage act.
The cases were tried before Judge
Lands in Chicago and sentences
ranging from one to twenty years
were imposed. Most of the men were
given their liberty on bonds aggre-
eating 100000 pending the out
come of the appeals.-Salt Lake

CONTRACT LET FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF
CITY WATER WORKS
Will Secure the Best
Materials, Machinery
and Devices of
Every Kind
WORK BEGINS SOON
Wheelwright Company
Get Contract for
$190,O00.00

The city council has closed the
contract for the construction of the
additions to the water system accord
ing to plans already discussed at
some length in this paper. The deal
was made on Monday afternoon and
evening, the council holding two ises-
sions, the second one lasting we'll
into the night.
The contractors are the Wheel
right Construction company of Ogden
and the amount Of the contract is
$190,000.00 payable in bonds at par.
The pipes for about ten miles of
mains is to be cast iron, and the
smaller sizes, four-inch pipe and less
is to be Of steel. The council was not
unanimous on the selection of the
pipe, Clark and Tavey being in favor
of using the steel pipe thruout, at a
cost of about $4,000 less money.
In the selection of all other ma
terials the council was united in se-
curing the best materials, machines
and devices Of every kind, and in
securing the cast iron pipe for the
mains they seem to have entertained
doubts as to the steel pipe being as
durable as the iron. Those who
favored the use of steel pipe wanted
to conserve money to buy meters and
to make other extensions.
Work on the new system is likely
to begin right away or as soon as
materials can be obtained. It Is likely
that some subcontracts may be let
to local people, but there is nothing
on this as yet.

FRANCE FAVORS
HARDINC'S STAND
Editorial and Official
Comment Generally
One Of Acceptance

PARIS-President Harding's mes
sage to congress created most
favorable impression in Paris official
and other circles. Particularly
favorable was the reception of the
presidents phrases interpreted here
as recommending ratification of the
Versailles treaty, detached from the
league of nations covenant and with
reservations.
Gable extracts of the address of
President Harding before the United
States congress arrived here too late
and were too brief to permit this
mornings newspapers to comment
upon it edit0rially. The prominence
given Mr.. Harding's message, how
ever, showed the importance attached
to it in this city.
"Pertinax,' political editor Of the
Echo de Paris, was the only editorial
writer to have something to say re-
garding the message.
There is no longer any doubt as
to the policy the new American presi-
dent and his advisers intend to pur-
sue," he remarked. 'rIt was not gen.
orally expected that Mr.. Harding
would announce Immediately his de-
sire to see the theoretic state of war
with Germany ended. France for
the past two years has been con-
sistently mistaken about America.
Shall we now send men to Washing
ton capable of enlightening and de-
Tending us?"
The writer asserted the last phrase
was not meant as q reference to
former Premier Viviana, who, he de-
clared, had "done his best"
Little surprise with the text of the
message was expressed by news
papers here.
"Prundence," declared the Paris
Midi, (which is customary quality
of American presidents, reigns su-
preme in Mr.. Harding's message.
There is no occasion for us either to
light bonfires in celebration or be
alarmed, for if the president is re-
served, American public opinion is
much less SO. In all quarters of the
United States the people are show
ing sincere desire not to hinder
France. Salt Lake Tribune.

SUMMARY OF PEACE
PLANS OUTLINED
Administration Peace
Program Outlined
by President

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ad-
ministration peace program as out
lined by the president may be sum-
married. thus: -
1. Adoption of "a modified Knox
resolution ending the state of war
and stipulating nonwaiver of any
American rights under the Versailles
treaty, but excluding any provision
for the negotiation of a. separate
peace treaty with Germany.
2. Acceptance of such Versailles
peace terms as confirm American
rights and interests, including the
economic provisions, if that can be
satisfactorily accomplished" by rati-
fication of the Versailles treaty with
such explicit reservations and modi-
fications" as will achieve complete
rejection of the league Of nations
covenant and secure our absolute
freedom from ENHANCEMENT in
purely European affairs.
8. Regard in whatever settlement
Is effected for American determine
tion to stand with the allies in hold
ing Germany responsible for the war
and bound to make reparation to the
full extent of it's ability.
4. Eventual effort to create an as
sociation of nations to prevent war
and preserve peace without sur
render of national sovereignty" in
lieu Of the league of nations, which
is IAN agency of the victors to en-
force. the terms of the Versailles
treaty"
5. Statement by the executive of
Americas future policy with respect
to European affairs" to be known as
the Harding doctrine of the partici-
patton of the United States in the
stabilization Of world peace, analog-
Gus to the Monroe doctrine of Ameri-
can policy in respect to European ag-
gressicn on American republics.
Presumably American troops will
stay on the Rhine pending the evolu-
tion of the American peace program.
Whether the Versailles treaty will
be resumbitted for the partial rati-
fication proposed by the president is
a matter of speculation. Either a
refusal of the present signatories of
the Versailles treaty to accept, Ameri-
can ratification with reservations or
great opposition in the senate to the
course proposed, or both, would con-
stitute difficulties which might con-
vince the president of the impractic-
ability of resubmitting the treaty to
the senate.
To ascertain whether the powers
would accept American ratification of
the treaty with reservations, Secre-
tary of State Hughes will enter into
conversations with foreign chancel-
.lories and it is not impossible that
conference of the allied and asso-
ciated nations will be called to dis
cuss this question.-Salt Lake
Tribune. Ja
