There's no good In specializing
what Mo1nar WAS driving at in the
Fashions for Men that the Gar
rick offers this week. The more one
considers Its disconnected moments,
the more one believes that the
adaptation has dropped Moinar
overheard and substituted some
thing else for dramatic reasoning.
II cannot be too often repeated
that the play is one OF profoundest
deifcacy and charm of treatment.
The direction Is remarkable, even
without making allowances for its
pointlessness. The acting is Of the

trait of a cheese making nobIeman
that Is utterly engrossing. Clark

OF Indifferent latitude. while Helen

OF superiative charm and appeal,

COSMOS.
Vaudeville,

One of its best bills is being offered
at the Cosmos this week. The head
liner 'Oh, You Sheik" is handsomely
mounted and costumed and offers
some pretty dancing by the Berg Sis
ters. song or two well sung and
some very laughable comedy by the
blackface comedian. who evidently Is
not new TO his business and who
knows just how far to 60 to make
enjoyable fun.
Zelda Santley, who acts as well as
she sings her songs with an attractive
method purely her own, is one of the
best of her type that has ever ap-
peared at the Cosmos. Her imitation
or rather own conception OF the way
Fanny Brice should sing MY Man" Is
bit OF dramatic art that merits both
attention and praise. The Four Min
ers, from the nearby coal fleIds, also
are exceptionally fine both as solo
lists and in their beautiful harmony
songs. Their singing has not been
surpassed here this season.
Oracle Emmett and her company
present an enjoyable and at the same
time amusing little playlet, Mrs.
Murphy's Second Husband" which
introduces a likable character sketch
by Miss Emmett which won both
laughter and applause at the PERFORM
ances yesterday.
Jean and Jacques open with a re-
markable offering introducing origi-
nal contortional acrobatics that are
astonishing at times. The act
throughout Is unique and entertain

BY EARLE DORSEY.

At the imminent risk OF being
denounced as blockhead, one
hereby confesses utter inability to
see in Ferenc Molnar's new play.
FASHIONS for Men, anything
more than a magniicently-m mount
ed riddle. a superbly-staged
enigma which displays. on the one
hand. technical skill Of the
highest quality and on the other.
a theme-if it has one-of the
utmost obscurity.
Nor does Mr.. Molnar afford his
audience a chance to blame this
obscurity on its own Ignorance
For two acts he indulges an au-
thorial mood that literally screams
for moment of clear resolution
but inevitably. the third act cur
tain descends without that one
single. Illuminating flash of pur-
pose.
Molnar may be perpetrating here
a gigantic burlesque on theater
symbolism. There is just as much
reason to believe. though. that the
play is mere sentimental drama
with boulevard farce overtones
There is almost no excuse at. all
for thinking that Molnar's point
is missed in the telling, for the
play is vastly too accurately fab
ricated to give much basis for
such theory
1t presents. for instance, in
Hungarian locale, shopkeeper so
super-humanly forgiving and self
effacing that lacking Molnar's s
statement of purpose. he becomes.
in retrospect, something of an ass.
His wife elopes with his head
clerk, admits the appropriation of
his savings and receives his bless
ing for herself and lover on their
departure for new fields.
Later on. in a new job, the hero
falls in love with a girl who. while

Belief is expressed by Shirley
and others that Fisher was killed
by the eastbound freight that pass-
ed Though Silvis about. 5 O'Clock.
That Fisher stumbled and fell in
the path of the train, probably aft

ed the only logical explanation ~
to the cause Of the tragedy.
Fishers head and left arm and
shoulder were completely severed
from the body. the wheels of the
train cutting diagonally from the
right shoulder to. the lower left
side.
Shirley was scheduled to 20 on
duty at 1880 o'clock this morning.
At $40 William Hughes, fireman,
noting the absence of Fisher, call
ed Shirley and asked him to take
care of the station until Fisher re-
ported. Shirley went to the
shAnty near Seventeenth street.
After being on the job for some
time he grew uneasy because Of the
failure Of Fisher to return, and
started out to search for the miss-
ing man. He looked under the
bridge nearby and beat the weeds
at the side Of the tracks, but the
search was unsuccessful. Then, a.
he was about to return to the
shanty, he saw through. the break

and found the body of Fisher.
