ciety. Washington, d Cl
Zanzibar, romantic melting pot off
the east coast of Africa, sort of
island vestbue to kenya, Englunds
latest colony, does not share the upset
conditions of that mainland region
which has recently kept the British
cabinet in hot water. Nominally under
its sultan, and largely ruled by Il
British high commissioner and Brit
ish resident, the island goes on tho
more or less serene way of the trans
planted East, furnishing plots for
comic operas and cloves for most of
the spiceloving world.
Hundreds of tourists and govern
ment employees, on the manifold er-
rands of empire, see the town of Zan-
zibar without knowing much of ii or
ever exploring beyond the English ten
mis- club. But this is less remarkable
than the fact that merchants, priests,
secular missionaries, military and dip
lomatic personages, Indians, Arabs,
,Parsis and Europeans (as inconspicu-
Gus artisans or petty traders) actually
live in the town year In and year out
without so much as walking half
mile beyond the terminus of the little
American railway at Bububu, viii
lage a few miles from the town itself.
The precedent for this neglect-and
the social fabric of Zanzibar is de-
pendent on precedent-is undoubtedly
the Indifference of the early explorers,
who fitted out caravans In the old
town and, bent on discovering vol
cano or a nyanza far afield, never
wasted time in wandering about the
glorious island itself.
On the first day that one leaves the
road behind and finds oneself at large
III the dense green Of Zanzibar's titanic
verdure one is conscious of a newness
of interest as when one reads for the
first time some book of very distinctive
imaginative quality.
The woods and fields, the "shambas"
(plantations), are like the contents of
a Brobdingnagian glass house; the col
ors of flowers and trees themselves
ere so elementary as to seem like
child's concept of beauty in nature,
and when, Unexpectedly. without prep
aration of any kind, the sight of the
Glove trees. shining green, red
stemmed, symmetrical, stretches be
fore one, with the ultramarine Of the
Indian ocean as background for their
unequaled loveliness, the beauty of the
whole writes itself on the memory of
the most commonplace of observers as
an indelIble delight.
As Large as Long Island.
The island, about the same size in
square miles as Long island. is of
different shape, being shorter and
much broader. 1t Is one Of Great Brit
aims protectorates.
To the south of the town the land
scape is not so redundant and riotous
in vegetable expression, but goats
abound and find all they need in the
way of food to make them marketable.
But to the north the mango trees,
palms, cloves and every form Of orange
and lemon crowd thick and glorious
under the most primitive Of husband
men Just as Africa itself is netted
over with aimless foothpaths, SO Is
Zanzibar velned with little tracks worn
deep into the living green so long ago
that no tradition follows the feet of
those who made them.
The industrial life of Zanzibar has
changed three times since David Liv-
ingstone cried for mercy for the black

1t Is safe to say that so per cent of the Fords

Not that the average Ford owner doesn't

those crucial points in Ford fabrication: the

The Pords splash system is an excellent system,
but its success is dependent upon the use of an

Theatre During Coming
Week

In connection with the presenta-
ton next week at the Lyric theatre
of why Men Leave Home" many
metropolitan newspaper critics con-
tend that this is Avery Hopwood' 5
best play. When it is taken into
consideration that Mr.. Hopwood also
wrote The Bat" this belief certain
~ bespeaks much for his later play.
"Why Men Leave Home" 1t is also
claimed that Mr.. Hopwood has
tapped a virgin theme in the theatre.
He has hit upon topic SO vital and
SO universal that every playwright
has reason to chide himself that he
or she has not thought of it. ana,
at the same time. Mr.. Hopwood has
brilliantly evolved a story of beauty.
and as brimfu of good cheer and
laughs as any play bearing his
name.
The story of why Men Leave
Home" deals with house party
where the wives of three men and
have returned from Europe follow
ing a gay social career. They are
surprised to find their husbands
have not been idly awaiting their
coming, but have themselves endeav-
orc ed to pass away the vacant hours
as best possible.

BILL OF UNUSUAL
PERFORMANCES is.
LYRIC OFFERING
Raymond Bond Presents De-
lightfuI Comedy Skit, The
Minute Man

A bill of surprises and versatility
that's the offering of the Lyric for
the last half of the week. In every
act, from top to bottom, there is the
element Of the unusual that makes
the bill one of the most attractive
booked here In weeks.
For the most part. the actors are
lone handlers" and the fact that solo
performances predominant makes Sc
lection of the headliner matter of
speculation.
Raymond Bond, in his "The Minute
Man" presents a little comedy skit
that has both the elements of rum
ming fire conversation that holds the
interest, while the surprise climax Of
fers the final kick that puts the act
ovAr in fine style.
Montana, "Paderewski of the ban
jo," filled several minutes of the per-
Torrance with pleasure for the au-
dience, with his classical performances
on the banjo. Montana, clad in
snow white from head to foot and
picking silvery instrument, was one
of the big favorites of the evening.
and his rendering of popular songs
won for him two eacores.
Decidedly out of the run of every
day comedy acts was that of Harry
Breen, singing comedian who pre-
scented such variation of nonsense and
rhymed doggerel that every minute
WAS one OF lduSnter LOT MS Il uuIeIct
Breen goes to the extremes of non
sense. yet there is the touch of the
artistic about his musical foolishnesS
that attracts and holds the interest.
Musical bits of comment on his au-
dience winds up his act in successful
manner.
William Powell and Natalie Brown,
artists of sand, present an innovation
In canvas work, when they make pic
lures for the audience with colored
sands cast about over tilted back
boards. Their art is unusual, but
out of the ordinary, interesting and
pleasing to the eye.
The Three Bradens. in the closing
number, present an act which COM
bines juggling ability with the at
traction Of a well-trained little dog
gle. and the act is strong enough to
hold the crowd to the end of the per-
formance. which is recommendation
enough for a finale.
