 Lola In Love-" which F. c. Cop picus will present at Parsons theater for four performances, beginning on Thursday, January 4, is a comedy with music which is said to possess a plot of unusual gayety and fresh- ness, and melodies of alluring quail ity. It is an adaptation of the Kadel- burg-Rebner operetta, made by Irv- ing Caesar. with interpolated music by Hugo Hirsch. The story tells of the complications that result from the efforts of a famous Spanish danc- ing beauty to intrude her attentions on an erstwhile lover who has recent ly married, and of the mental agony he endures while trying to evade her demands and conceal his past indis- erection.

CURIOUS MIR. CROW


 Sailing over the meadow, old MT Crow caught sight of Jimmy Rabbi hurrying down the hillside. Mr. Grow noticed that Jimmy was carrying something.
 NOW, l wonder what that is," MT Crow muttered He began to glide toward the earth, in order to get ( closer view of Jimmy Rabbit and his burden.
 Its a travelling bag!" MT. Crow exclaimed. Now. I wonder what he has got inside it." He was very curious person-this old MT. Crow. He was always pry- ing into his neighbors affairs. So he dropped right down into the snow- covered meadow, in front of Jimmy Rabbit.
 "Ah, hal" said MT. Crow. q see you're carrying travelling bag"
 Yes" Jimmy Rabbit answered pleasantly.
 T suppose you have clothes in the bag" MT. Crow remarked. T suppose you're going a visiting"
 "No!" Jimmy replied with a smile. NO clothes; and no visiting, MT. Crow!"
 "Then maybe you're carrying your luncheon" the old gentleman ven tured.
 Jimmy Rabbit shook his head.
 He might tell me what he's got there," Mr. Crow grumbled under his breath. And aloud he said, Perhaps it's something for Uncle Isaac Bun n.y." MT. Crow knew that Jimmy Rab- bit sometimes ran errands for Be- linda Bunny's uncle.
 "No!"
 Well, MT. Crow kept on guessing. He guessed this and he guessed that. But not once did he guess right.
 "Ha! l know!" he cried at last. You have Christmas presents in that bag" And he appeared to be quite pleased with himself. But the next moment he looked very glum. For Jimmy Rabbit told him that he had nothing of the sort. At least" said Jimmy, T shouldn't want to give anybody what I've got In my bag. Nobody could wear it or l eat it or even play with it. It wouldn't be any kind of present at lll!" You never can tell," MT. Crow de- ,lared wisely No doubt there's somebody somewhere, who would be delighted to get 1t for a Christmas rift"
 Have you any one in mind?" Jim- " Rabbit inquired.
 Yes, I have" Mir. Crow replied promptly. Let me have what's in the 'ag' I'm sure it's just what need" "Oh, mol" said Jimmy.
 "Oh, yes!" Mir. Crow insisted. Jimmy Rabbit gave him an odd ook.
 Will you wait until Christmas be- ore you look at the present." MT. row.
 MT. Crow did not answer so this time He thought eeply for few moments. It didn't eem to him he could promise that. 'ut in the end he said, "Yes! I'll ,ait."
 Will you promise me not to be ngry when you see it?"
 MT. Crow agreed to this sulckly { nough. Very well!" said Jimmy Rabbit. Take the bag. Let me have it back f n Christmas Day" 7 MT. Crow seized the bag and start i. to fly off with 1t. Haven't you forgotten some- r ,ing?" Jimmy cried MT. Crow stared at him blankly. T Haven't you forgotten to thank " e?" Jimmy asked. i, Certainly not!" snapped Mir.
