Representative Edward Voigt,
from the Second Wisconsin district,
who last week conducted what Uncle
Joe Cannon pronounced the most
effective one-man filibuster within
the latter's long experience in Con-
gress, is next-door neighbor in the
House office building to Represen-
tative Arentz of Nevada. So power
full was his single-handed obstruc-
tion of the progress of House work
that on Sunday June 25) Repub-
lican Floor Leader Mondell tele-
graphed all absent members east of
Kansas to return and help smother
the husky Badger.

Employees at the Capitol who
cash their pay checks at the office
of the sergeant-at-arms were de-
lighted yesterday to receive nice
new "yellowbacks," or gold-coin
notes.-the first since war time. 1t
seemed a sure sign of returned
prosperity, A month ago Washing
ton newspapers made a splurge over
the announcement that citizens
might obtain gold at the Treasury
on demand, and many went to In
Gle Sans counter to get a five or
ten for pocket piece. Now it
appears on confidential inquiries at
Washington banks that at no time
since early in 1919 has there been
any restriction on gold, We might
have gone to our little old savings
banks and obtained all the coin of
the realm we had notes to exchange
for.

planes of the Russian Ballet and Coch-
ranes revues. AL these decorations
make snmptpous background to the
real Drury Lane drama Of the love of
the Prince Saladin for the maiden who
has been washed up by the sea and
has forgotten her name.
Those who know their Boccaccio will
hardly need to be told that the
"adapters" have dared to borrow from
HIM little more than the framework
Of plot. This they have succeeded
in depriving, without loss of atmos-
Ihere and period, Of anything calcu-
lated to offend the most sensitive. The
result is a series of incidents Of a
powerfully dramatic character, in which
the struggle for supremacy between
virtue and vice is carried en- with all
the determination and savagery of
medieval times. Two noble ladies',
Princess Alaticl CWilc.te Kershaw),
and fedora, wife of Torello d'Istria
GLADYS Ancrum), divide the honors
due to the heroine. The former, as
an unknown shipwrecked maiden, iinds
refuge in the monastery at Media, where
also Prince Saladin Of Damascus
(Cowley Wright) seeks an asylum, and
the two promptly fall in love.
Hither, too, come Torello and a GER
tain Ricciardo Oh. A. saintsbury),
whose demeanor and appearance at
once declare him to be the villain Of
the piece. He declares that Venice
can boast not one yirtuous woman
Torcllo takes up wager on behalf
Of his wife, Rcciardo undertaking to
convince him Of the error Of his faith
in her. The villain conccals himself
IN il chest, which is carried TO Teo-
dora's bedroom. Once there he
, ,despoils the sleeping wife of an amulet,
her husbands gift, and discovers
secret mark, indiscreetly mentioned by
Torelio, on her body. He proceeds TO
accuse Tcoaora of inidelit., and she
is condemned by the Doge to stand
naked in the square. But by forta-
nate chance her punishment comedies
with an eclipse of the sun.
Incidentally, the wicked Ricciardo
has carried of the Princess Alatiel.
Saladin, who has meantime been re-
called to Damascus by his irate father,
whose matrimonial plans for him have
been upset by Alatiel's disappearance.
The pursuing Saladin finds her held
prisoner in a lonely inn by Ricciardo.
He had previously given her power
full opiate, capable of producing tho
semblance Of death. of which he holds
the counteracting potion. BY the use
Of this drug hlatiel escapes the over
lures Of Ricciardo, VINO is killed after
an exciting duel by Saladin. The
Prince Of Damascus then discovers the
identity of Alatiel-the bride destined
for him by his father. Torello and his
: fedora are reunited, and virtue is
! everywhere triumphant in the most ap-
, proved style.

Dating from the times when the
evenings entertainment was disturbed
by the crying Of their wares by orange
girls or by the escapades of registering
gallants, Drury Lane claims now to be
be the largest and best equipped thea
ter in Europe. Last nights production
for which enthusiastic first-nighters
kept a twenty-four hours vigil-was
completely new in the history Of Drury
Lane, though the building has well
coined in its day everything from melo-
drama to performing lions. The pro-
duction of "Decameron Nights" here is
more or less accidental. Robert Nc
Laughlin, who is the manager of two
theaters in Cleveland, Ohio, first in
tended it for production in the United
States. But the American syndicate
for whom he wrote the play quarreled.
Mclaughlin bided his time, revised it
in collaboration with Boyle Lawrence,
and now it is first staged in London.
Two things, by the way, have struck
Mclaughlin in London. One is the
genius Of Sybil Thorndike, of the
Grand Guignol. and the other the quiet
ness of the reheersals at Drury Lane.
The producer never even raises his
voice" he said. ~ should like to bring
over some of our American producers
to show them how it can be done by
kindness"
Boccaccian drama, as the English
dramatic critic Archibald Haddon has
noted, is so alien to the British foot
lights that last nights event at Drury
Lane had nearly all the novelty Of dis
covery. The type has hitherto been re-
which the most important arc Shakes
peare's "Alls Well That Ends Well"
Lord Tennysons one-act piece, THE
Falcon" and a medley of snippets, en-
titled The Loving Heart" which had
brief career at the New Theater four
years ago. Shakespeare did not ap-
preciably lessen the broadness of Boo
caccio, and "All's Well" is only pre-
sented occasionally. The adapters Of
"The Loving Heart" went to the other
extreme, making the story fatty senti-
mental, with the result that the play
is unlikely to be seen again. The
Drury Lane "Decameron" is different
from all previous examples of Boccac-
clan drama in this respect-that the
Tales, or some of them, have been
welded into one harmonious whole, with
distinct and coherent story.
Some seven or eight Of the Tales
have been worked into one story, and
soon after the rise Of the curtain we
enter world which, in its color
gayety and atmosphere, is sufficiently
Boccaccian to induce in the most so,
phisticated playgocr at least some Of
