Like a tiny and very naughty
rubber doll come to life Is Miss
Daphne Pollard. Plump as a dump
ling though she is. she bounces
around with uncanny elasticity and
speed in a series OF vimful and imp
ish impersonations. In her first
number, she pranccs forth in
hustled creation that makes her
look like one of Dickens oldest
characters. The impression is
rather heightened by the fact that
she elects to adopt gait strongly
reminiscent of sportive lady
orang -outang. In this seanCe she
sings Nancy" to the unmitigated
delight of the audience. But the
best is yet to come. For does not

mention iD the upper section of

with a couple of large begemmed
cabochons on the bosom. oh. yes.
and we think she wore some sort
of a skirt or fringe or something.
We really couldn't notice very
carefully because we were so busy
watching the CabOChOnS which
seemed to serve Cleopatra as toys.
After this Daphne disported herself
in the role of n lOVelorn kitchen
maid seeking to win a London bob

Home Thoughts From Abroad

Oh, 10 in England
Now that Apr1s there,
An whoever wakes in England
Sees, morning unaware,
That the lowest bOughs and the brushwood shtaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny sheaf,
While the chaffinch sings the orchard bough
n England-now!
after April. when May follows
And the white throat builds. and all the swallows!
Hank, where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge
lie to the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops-at the bent sprays edge
wise thrush he sings each song twice
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!
And though the fields look rough with hoary dew.
All will be glad when noon tide wakes
The buttercups, the little chdrens dover
Far brighter than this gaudy melon flower!

Avery Hopwood's knowledge of
stage technique and the art of the
playwright has long been accepted.
His intimate knowledge of the life
of'those who make a living in the
chorus Is another question. If one
accepts his conception of the aver
age girl OF the ensemble as II Is
portrayed in The Gold Diggers,"
then the life OF the merry merry"
away from the footlights Is a con-
tinual quest for the male of a
species and his pocketbook. A play
for the sophisticated and always in
teresting even though one disagree
dramatic picture.
In the vernacular a gold digger"
is one who prospects for the eligible
male with all the arts and feminine
tricks Of Cleopatra of old or the
modern vamp as portrayed in the
films. Jerry Lamar" is not Of this
type although her social COM
panions. singularly enough, all prac-
tice their alluring wiles in her
apartment, and Glibly recite their
conquests. Jerry" escapes such
contamination and is obsessed with
a longing to marry off Violet" her
innocent little ward. to a most de-
sirable and wealthy young catch.
"Wally Saunders" Wally's uncle,
who is also guardian of his for
tune. is opposed to any family al
lance with the chorus and in his
efforts to end the romance comes
to "Jerry's" apartment for a con-
ference. Uncle Steve" becomes
fascinated by his closeup of the
life of the chorister and though he
is the victim of a brazen subter-
fuge exits at the final curtain
headed for orange blossoms with
Jerry" and putting his o. X. on
the matrimonial intentions OF
"WalIy."
All OF this gives Playwright
HopwoOd abundant opportunity to
moralize along cynical paths on the
aims and purposes Of the chorus
girls whose nocturnal hours are
spent in the lobster palaces of
broadway and the other haunts OF
Bohemia where the sons Of preda-
tory wealth. and even the captains
of industry themselves, may be
found. There are flashes of brill
liant dialogue. some very spicy,
and most of II too clever to be
spouted by the modern chorus
fapper These footlight beauties
seem more like the reformer loves
to condemn from his pulpit than
the genuine article. but maybe Mr..
HopwoOd is right.
Ina Claire annexed a considerable
reputation as the original Jerry"
during a two-year Broadway run.
Gertrude Vanderbilt plays it now
and most acceptably. If Jerry"
seems hardly as convincing a per-
feet little lady as Mr.. Hopwood
would have her. it Is not the fault
OF the actress. Bruce McRae is the
Uncle steve" and his characterize
ton is finished. Other important
roles are handled acceptably by II.

ALASKA MAY RECEIVE
 SHARE OF WAR STOCK
 TO BE DISTRIBUTED

That Alaska will be included in the provisions of the Townsend Sen ate Joint Resolution, calling for the distribution among all the states of all surplus war material remaining on hand, is the information just re- ceived by Governor Sone from Wash
 ugton. Senator Townsend intro duced the resolution last spring and its passage is predicted.
 At the time it was introduced no mention was made of Alaska sharing in the distribution. Governor Bone at once took the matter up with Senator Townsend and asked the Delegate to do likewise. He has been informed that Senator Town send will approve oI the inclusion of Alaska.
 The resolution calls for the distri- button of surplus war material, esti- mated to be worth $l,OOO,OOO OUO, among all states on a ratio propnr- donate to their population The material is said to include many ar lcies that can be utilized by ti e Territory for various purposes. If the resolution passes, the various state governments will be furnished with a list of all materials ana can secure their propOrtionate shares by making acquisitions on the Secretary of Agriculture through whom the Secretaries of Navy and War are re- ouired Co carry out the distribution.

MINING
 SHOWS REVIVAL
 IN 0LD MEXICO
Good Profit Shown With White Met al Price Quoted Near Seventy Cents.

1 Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mex leo, Aug. 2S.-Silver mines are be- ing operated in Mexico at a good profit, it is said, with silver selling around 70 cents an ounce,
 When silver is below sixty cents mines in this country cannot be worked at a profit, as a rule When silver is above this figure a small profit, hardly worth while. as the usual thing, can be made, but when it reaches 70 q profit of around 10 cents an ounce is made. With silver selling at 70 cents, or whereabouts, consequently there Is a big revival in the mining business of this coun- try, and especially in the state of Chihuahua which produces the prln- cipal part of MexiCo's silver yield.
 Old mines are being re-worked thoroughly, and prospecting is going on in almost an unprecedented de- gree.
 During the six months just past, there passed through Jaurez, Chihua- hua, alone, the Mexican consulate there reports, silver In refined form valued at $4l9,974 and ores con- ta.ning silver and other metals tmustly gold and iead) valued at .Sl4,OS9. During the same period in 1921, total silver, silver ore and com bined metal ore passing through that port was valued at only S549. Juarez is the most important port for ex- portation of silver from this state to the United tSates.
 The average price of silver from 1910 to 1914 was 56.445 cents an ounce. Labor and other costs were lighter then, and some Chihuahua mines produced at a profit at that figure. In 1921 the average price was G2.G2 cents.
 Present price of silver is caused by demands from India and China, 1t was stated. The worlds output ia 1921 was 5,OOO,OOO ounces, of this Mexico produced 3g per cent, and the United States 31 per cent. More than 4O,OOO.OOO ounces of this went to India and 52,OOO,OO to China, be ing purchased by Chinese bankers.
 The government of Mexico, realiz- ing the importance of a revival ih silver mining, is encouraging the re- opening of mines, some of which have been closed for ten years.
 It has been announced at the capi- tai that in order to stimulate pro duction, the duty on dynamite is to belifted. This will help mining con siderably, as it is used extensively in mining in the republic. The duty on dynamite is S1.O7 a hundred pounds, American money.
