1.-THE Passing Show

True travesty is almost a lost art
behind the footlights today, but "The
Passing Show" which comes to The
Playhouse on November IA and 10, ~
said TO rise to the highest plane OF
clever and intelligent burlesque. The
new Passing Show" is full of anus
ing skits. parodies on all the principal
dramatic and musica, successes OF the
past season in New York. The
tratesties on THE Bat" and Mecca"
are really fine artistic achievements.
t'Charlle's Aunt at the Garrick.
Nightly the Garrick audiences liter
ally laugh themselves sore over the
antics OF Garry the muchlyworried
hero OF the famous farce up In Ma
bells Room. The play has been meet
ing with immense success and the
players have been most delighted with
the response that has greeted their
efforts. Robert Lynn wins new lau-
rels for his conception OF Garry. The
character is a difficult one 10 present
since all the action OF the piece hinges
upon the poor fellow. Mr.. Lynn has
met the demands nobly and deserves
the best praise for his untir1ng and
humor-prodwcing efforts. Frances
keenan, has a better opportunity than
over before as the Jealous wife OF
Garry. She handles her character IT
q most delightful way.

The tones given forth by insects are,

be imperceptible by human ears, scien-

The peculiar chirping sound uttered
by the male cricket Is made possible
by the circumstance that the left
wing cover is almost entirely covered
by the right wing cover.
This enables the insect TO draw the
right wing with an indented cross vein
on the top of the lower wing cover
with much the same motion as that OF
the bow of n fiddle.

Politics is supposed to b a dull

month to month. But considered from
decade to decade, from generation

game begins to assume a large form.
1t appears as a current in human
affairs. Upon the waves movements
ride and ideas translate themselves
significantly. Tides are visible. Cross
currents bite into the flood and then
slowly turn the tide to a new direc-

Harvard astronomers have discov-

A ray of light travels at the rate

So long as they believed the earth

it for lighting purposes, our ances-

When Columbus and his associates
proved il was round, and floated in
great space, their self-esteem was
punctured. Perhaps that is why they
resisted the idea so stubbornly.
The bigger the outside becomes the

The Lord knows, we had come to
think ourselves pretty small in COM
'parison with the old universe, its
countless stars. its measureless space,
its inconceiva6Ie distances.
But this new one, and with the pos
sibility of other new ones yet to
come, simply withers the magma

Indeed, science has left the imagin-

much bigger, so much more roman

could fancy, as to make tradition and
mythology uninteresting.

how familiar it all sounds, and yet
how strange.
In the early part Of the nineteenth
century, our great grandfathers were
intrigued by the romance Of the
Greek struggle for independence.
Ever since that time we have de-
voted more or less energy TO saving
Christian minorities in the Near East.
When the great war ended, we
imagined the task complete, or at
least, reduced. Having won the world
for democracy, we could not be
lieve that those Christian minorities
would be denied their share. Indeed,
the fancied elimination of Turkey
was, to our minds, not the least sat
isfactory result.
Well, there is no use crying over
spilled milk, even though some of our
friends help spill it, We have always
been the great good thing for Asia
Minor, and it looks as though we
would continue.
Where people are helpless and
hungry, no matter by what circum-
stances, or through whose fault,
there will be found the heart of
America. We are glad that this is
so, even if it does make us look easy
at times. We would rather be kind
to the extent of fouy, than clever to
the extent of cruelty.
Lot the European diplomats go on
playing their backstair game; let
them aspire to the praise of narrow
minded historians; let them continue
TO jockey for foot OF land here, and
a trade concession there. So long as
we can spare the change, we will do
a little to repair the wreckage they
make; a little TO overcome the des-
truction their connivery involves.

our nature, but we shall be careful

Of office as president, addressed the

It is an historic spot certainly. and

For 80 years possibly So the
politics of the world has been :pcv-

held that environment was more i'm

the life of living reature. So all over
the world political parties have been
