MUSICAL NUMBERS MARK ANGEL FACE
Victor Herbert-H Smith Musical Comedy at Jef-
 ferSon Monday

There are a gross of 24 solos, duos, tsios. quartets and ensembles in the George ". Lederer presentation of the Victor Herbert Harry Smith mu- sfcal comedy, Angel Face" which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Monday Tuesday and Wednes- day nights and Wednesday matinee.
 In years gone by, when Charles H. Hoyt was the producer of the most popular musical plays of that day, there were about six or eight musical numbers, all told, in any one of his plays, among which might be men toned "A Rag Baby" "A Trip To Chinatown" "A Temperance Town" and "A Dog in the Manager" Four girls comprised the entire chorus.
 The vogue of the present so-called musical comedy, with it's full com plement of chorus girls and complete operatic score, started with George w. Lederer, who staged this produc- ton of Angel Face" when he as- York Casino, which he opened with Lillian Russell in "The Princess Nico- tine"
 After the Gilbert and Sullivan op- eras, which created a furore in this country, came the German, Austrian and French operetta, and the present form of musical comedy is a sort of melting pot of it's forerunners, elabo- rated and idealized to meet the taste of present-day theatregoers.

DOUG FAIRBANKS IN THREE MUSKETEERS
Dumas Story, Masterpiece of Screen, Comes to Strand
 Next Week

When Dumas created "The Three Musketeers" there was none to dream even of motion pictures. But Dumas wrote a story that has made one of the greatest pictures the screen has ever recorded in 'oThe Three Muske- teers," with Douglas Fairbanks as the immortal D'Artagnan.
 DArtagnan as Dumas drew him was rollicking gallant with a sense of humor, and Fairbanks in HThe Three Musketeers" has caught this ioea and made D'Artagnan one of the greatest portrayals the screen has known. Motion picture fans of Bir mingham are going to be able to see Douglas D'Artagnan in "The Three Musketeers" at the Strand theatre all next week, beginning Monday.
 Doug Fairbanks has made a picture that will ever live, critics declare, in his visualization of one of the great est romances ever written. D'Artag- nan is declared a living, breathing man of fire and action. Even D'Artag nan, the romantic. had his lighter moments, and reviewers say that Doug has interpreted these as no ether actor on the screen could do it.

She wore the famous Hope diamond you remember, or which it was said that 1t carried misery and distress in it's wake and it certainly did for Lady Hope, whose marital adventures one after the other resulted so disastrously.
 Any way May Yohe is now the wife of Captain John Shuts, cousin of General Jan Shuts, and the picture I saw showed the once famous beau ty and her husband in the kitchen of her beautiful tea room which she has recently opened in New York city.
 There she stands modishly gowned Apparently her husband wearing a chefs cap and the redoubtable stage beauty reading the menu for the day.

 And why not?
 In going into trade" as they term it in England, the average woman is animated by a multitude of desires to he of service to herself, her hus- band, her children and those de- pending upon her and looking up to her in many instances to keep the ship of state" moving.
 In days gone by-when a woman went "to work" there was great con- sternation among the "elite" who with arched eye brows and a shrug of the shoulders wondered audtbly if the family fortunes had gone to the bow-wows or if anything had hap pened between husband and wife for woman to resort to trade"
 But with the advent of woman's freedom and long before-feminism had made up it's mind that nothing colld keep her out of work, she promptly begun her invasion of the territory formerly labeled Mere man."
 School teaching and giving music lessons"-were practically the only legitimate avenues for woman to fn- wade in the years gone by-drudgery both of them at that time-the poor music teacher going from house to house instructing in her poor way the average untalented pupil. while in dingy school rooms ill-lighted, and poorly heated the school teacher taught and worried over problems which today are solved in the twinkling of any eye.
 A woman doctor" or dentist or chiropodist had never been heard of; and when Dr. Mary Walker attired herself in trousers and made the first bid for "mannish" apparel for women,
