man will lay aside silks ard :
satins to act in an ill-fittigAg suit

apparently, to exempt her from
the charge of vanity. Yet hats

rison Orkow, which is serving as
a starring vehicle for Louis Mann
this season, and which will be
presented at the Belasco, Deem.
Der L. has several touches. more
tense than comedy carries, but
the play is one in which there
are a number OF scenes that

their comedy across to make it
pleasing and entertaining. Al
though in the past they have APP
peared as tramp comedians, this
season they work almost
