'sIl1uSic Box ReUue" Precious Piece
Of Musical Grandeur
Pretentious Beauty Of Settings
and Its Great Array of Tai
ent Distinguish Irving Ber-
Inns Production as Without
a Predecessor.
| Preuec
Bx HAlRoLD PHILLIPs.

. The Music Box Revue, Irving
Berlin's silk and platinum CIRCUS,
In more scenes than one can keep
count Of, last night opened
weeks stay at the National. In
the field Of music revues, this Is
Pantagruel's little boy astride the
spire Of Notre Dame. 1t has just
that relation to the average tra-la
concoction and dwarfs to pee-wees
those previously considered as
having respectable dimensions.
In gorgeousness Of panorama,
skill in its presentation and horse
power in talent, this Is vaude-
vile on a truly Roman scale.
There are twenty-five scenes
and interludes, the unfolding Of
which courts the amusement
Gourmet with every ingredient Of
entertainment. Dancing, singing,
comedy, dress and undress, and
mechanical delights which feast
the eyes, melt into one another
with cadence that never falters
even for rising curtains. Through
it all there is an atmosphere OF
splendor which pronounces its
producers as men with fippant
disregard for money.
The spectacular sets are four in
number, THE Fam" 1.-THE Foun-
tain of YOUTH" "The Legend of
the Pearls" and the finale. intro
duced by the Eight Little Notes"
Each seems to out-dazzle the
other, but the palm for outright
splendor goes to the Pearl scene,
set before q giant cavalier as
background and delicately screened
by a stage-wide curtain of jew
eled strands, behind which the
pearl pages cavort under leader
ship of Ethelind Terry. The fan
scene introduces a stunning array
in jet atmosphere, all before a
monster fan, mechanically oper-
ated, before which the fanbearers
ascend on individual lifts, in the
finale, under colorful play of
lights. In THE Fountain of
Youth the stage lifts are again
utilized for beautiful effects,
nymphs ascending from the pool
as Age drains the cup OF magic
water, the scene being concluded
with the stream playing upward
on Frances Mahan, impersonating
the fountain.
The general perfection Of the pro-
duction is one Of deep impression.
There has been no debasement of
one department to the advantage
of another. The comedy scenes are
gems, and these, half a dozen in
number, alone would compensate
for the admission price. Florence

COSMOS
STYLE Revue.

K
The free offer of a modish
gown, or a hat, or lingerie too
dainty to describe. would natu-
rally draw crowds without other
attractions. This is what is hap
pening at the Cosmos this week,
and the gifts that go to. q maid
or matron in the audience at both
the matinee and the evening per-
formances, all on display in the
window of s. Kann's Sons Conn
pany, serve to make the crowds
still greater.
But aside from the gifts, which
are independent Of the theatrical
entertainment, the bill Is UNI
usually enjoyable. The headliner,
Monty Brooks style Revue" is
a thing of beauty both to the eye
and to the ear. It features John
Dyer. Alice Lorraine, a charm
ing prima donna with an unusual
voice, and Jack Collins. an anus
ing light comedian, with bevv

considerably more than wear the

Child Labor Control
Is Urged At Hearing
Observation-Disclosures


Washington, Jan. 20.-President
Gompers, Miss Grace Abbott Of the
federal children's bureau, and other
speakers urged a subcommittee Of
the senate judiciary committee TO
favor the child labor amendment to
the federal constitution proposed by
Senator Mccormick shortly after the
United States supreme court set aside
the law that would tax profits Of child
labor The authors OF that legsla-
ton intended to make child labor eX-
pensive and based their act on su-
preme court decisions like the oleo-
margarine and state bank rulings,
which held that 1t was legal to tax
oleomargarine and state banks out OF
existence. When this Was attempted
in the case Of child labor, however,
the court held the act was Illegal.
The Mccormick amendment EN-
powers congress 10 limit or prohibit
the labor of persons under Is years
of age. Amendments on this subject
are also proposed by Senators John
son Of California, Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts, and Walsh of Moptana
Organized labor and other opponents
Of child labor are supporting the Nc

PROFITS ARE EXCESSIVE;
LINING WAGE Is DENIED

New York.-The declaration BY
Fall River cotton mill bafons that
they will close their plants rather
than increase wages Is made in the
face Of increasing prosperity, stock
dividends and the Fordney- -McCum-
Der tariff.
It Is generally agreed that the mill
barons virtually dictated the cotton
schedule of the present tariff Law.
This assurance Of prosperity for the
bosses is supplemented by recent
stock dividends, which have been
issued to escape the income tax and
create a larger amount of stock over
which inordinate profits may be
spread.
In financial circles IL is agreed that
the textile industry Is facing an era
Of prosperity. Now the organized
textile workers are demanding wage
increases. The executive council Of
the United Textile Workers reminds
these wage earners Of the profits in
this industry, and calls on them 10
demand that textiles assure a living
wage 10 every employe.
The manufacturers have unlocked
their chamber Of horrors and are pa
rading the well-known poverty plea.
They also hope the workers viii for
get the stock dividends and how the
cotton schedule was passed.
The textile workers are not sur
prised at these time-Worn tactics. But
they know that their solidarity can
work wonders, even in the mind Of a
mill baron.

SHIP SUBSIDY GRAB

Gates now claim their measure has
a fighting chance" of being passed by
the senate.
This uncertain prediction Indicates
the state of mind OF those who a few
months ago were insolently claiming
that every one who opposed lootlng
the treasury was in the pay OF for
eign governments.
The present congress adJourns
March 4 next. The administration
does not want to call the new con-
gress in special session, but this Will
be necessary if the regular appro-
priation bills are not passed.
The al preparation bills could all be
sidetrackeu and every effort made TO
lam the subsidy bill through before
March 4. While this scheme would
please the shipping interests, every
other big interest would be alarmed
because a special session OF the new
congress would have to be called to
pass appropriations. With the new
congress once assembled, no one could
predict what would happen. The rail-
road question, for instance, might be
reopened, and this at time when the
railroads want to be left alone. They
are getting theirs" despite poverty
pleas.
At this writing it would seem that
something must be thrown TO the
wolves, and the subsidy bill appears
to be the victim on the theory that
it is better to disappoint the shipping
interests than to run the danger OF
