BEST FOOD WORLD HAS KNOWN
Literature of Centuries Ago Describe
Poor Food

Rome, Sept. 23.-When all the
world is complaining of what 1t costs
to buy n good dinner, as compared
to the days before the war, an ltai.
ian Investigator has come forward
with the statement that never before
have the people been as well fed as
at present. !,
Signor PedrazzOli has analysed
the descriptions, in old writings, OF
the hundred course banquets OF the
middle ages, and the recitais OF
whole cows prepared for the feast
ers. He finds undoubted exaggera-
tion, and says that when such things
did happen so many people sat down
TO the meal that each individual por-
tion was very small. Such dinners
also were given only in years OF plen-
ty, but more numerous than these
were the lean years. Then the peo-
pie were thin and pale, and at this
time originated the expression
Tighten up your belt"

 Pretty and petite Gertrude Beck carried the house with her in every number. Her chic costumes set off to perfection, her Venus like contours. Her rendition of '"The Old Swimmin' Ho1e'' was perhaps her best bit, and it was by far the best song number on the bill. "Ten Little Fingers and "'The Peacock Waltz were also very good.
 May Wallace was the other support ing female lead who was at her best in the dance numbers.
 Helen Ren2tron1, who played the lead, has @ splendid voice that was heard to effect in "Just Like A Rain bowl and eff You Only Knew To gethSr with Fred Steger, Miss Rem stron staged the beautiful "An Old Fashioned Home'' scene with a re- vival of the quaint songs and customs of bygone days.
