Passing Show, 1923.
New Edition.

The new edition or secopd helping Of
the Passing Show of 1922 made its ap-
pearance at Polls Theater last evening
to an audience Of $5,542 worth of peo--
pie. 1t was an audience, in size and
box -office value at least. which deserved
the best that the passing or any otner
show could offer an amusement-loVlng
public. 1t is doubtful. however, If
everybody went away satisfied, because
the murmuring of the large crowd as
it left the theater was not altogether
complimentary.
One of the valuable advance asSur
ances oiven by the Messrs. Shubert
concerning their shows Is that they
have had the personal supervision OF a
distinguished member of the firm. The
new edition of the 1923 spectacle offered

OF all when many Of the girls who help
to adorn the spectacle were chosen, and
secondly. when the first-part comedy
was staged. Indeed the show seemed
to suffer for want of and from its
comedy efforts. There was, of course.
the rash and wicked suggestive joke
and eye play that help to make up the
spectacle; but gee, they were, old, old,
old.
There was one really great comedy
scene-the old lady in the upper pros
cenium box, who had a French play
explained to her by George Jessel, who
also explained it to the audience. She
really is the big laugh of the show.
Another fairly amusing incident is the
royal wedding, where quartet OF titlea
nobility comment on things and per-
sons. The idea, however. like the plot
to many problem plays. has been worn
threadbare.

perhaps compares favorably, but does
not surpass some of them by a jugful.

 b Not Borne Out
 The Japanese argument as to racial discrimination. is not regarded here as borne out by the language of the ex clusion clause itself. The clause ex- cludes all races not eligible to American citizenship.
 The Japanese protest does not make it clear whether the TokiO government intends its language with respect to the gentlemen s agreement to mean that 1t already has abandoned that undertak- ing, in advance Of July 1. next. the date when the exclusion clause becomes ef- fective.

NEW YORK, May 31-(By Asso- cinteI Press Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the. American museum of nat uraI history expedition which discovered the only known fossils of dinosaur eggs, sailed recently for Mongolia to pre- pare for the reception of a party of scientists who next fall will invade that graveyard of mastodons, the Gobi -des- ert,- in search of the ''Graden of Eden" 1"
 The 1924 expedition expects to re- main afield for five years and will ex- haust every effort toward excavating the bones of the earliest man in support of the theory that he first trod earth m what now Is the des0late Gobi des- ert. q verdant paradise 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 years ago.
 Fifteen Scientists To Go
 Headed by Mir. Andrews, the party will include 15 scientists who are ae- know1edged lenders in their respective fields There will be Walter Granger, chief paleontologist Charles P. Berkey, chief geeIogist; James P. Chapin, chief ernithogist :; l.. B. Roberts. chief topoS- rapher1 N. C.. Nelson, chief archaeol- 0gist; Ralph Ghaney, chief botanist i; l. B. Shackleford. chief cinematog- rapher S. Bayard Colgate, chief of mo- tor transport, each with their assist ants.
 Five of the party were members of the three-EeHr expedition which emerged from Mongolia laden with the most vaIu- able collection of prehistoric bones and fOssils known to paleonteIogic history. They helped find the famous dinosaur eggs, and 1t was upon their unearthings tiint scientists since have builded the theory that Homo Sapiens first lived millions of yearS prior to the dawn of history heretofore variously aseribed t0 the time of the PfItdown Man, the PitheeanthrOp0s, Erectus. the Neander- thai Man. or the Californian human whose bones. recently discovered, have aroused a new controversy among seien- tistS.
 AnareWs Confident
 Mir Andrews is confident that the true birthplace of man, the spot on earth where a human first was evolved from an animal will be found in the GdbI desert- Perhaps not by this ex-

petition, he says, but sometime soon, surely.
 We can't be definite" Mir. Andrews declared. We can only say that the evidence we have convinces us we ara seeking in the. right place. We are specializing on man. We never have organized to hunt his bones before. We have been more concerned with the his tory of rocks that of humanity.
 Now. we are going to the rocks where human remains are moss likely to exist. We think the prospects justify gambling. although some students say we are hunting a needle in hay stack"
 VeritabIe Treasure Tr0ve The Gobi desert proved veritable treasure trove for the last expedition. A few prehistoric bones, exposed to view by a chance shifting of the hot, dry sands led to the discovery of a huge natural cache of fossilized relics
 Everything was in a marvellous state of preservation after having been in sulated from the clements for millions of years by the fine desert dust. Even the shells of the muchprized dinosaur eggs were found intact, with the em- bryos of the monsters in various stages Oh uCNChOphChS pNcSctNcu lOE lHIS age to study.
 The discoverers' theory is that the Gobi desert was at one time tropical plain, threaded with watering places and covered with verdue on which the mastodons of the times fed. Then some catastrophe, an earthquake. or an inundation, exterminated thousands of them in a moment, leaving their re- mains, and perhaps those of men of that day,s to be miraculousiy preserved through the ages.
 But the 1924 expedition is not going to restrict itself to the past, any more than have its predecessors. And it is recorded that the. last expedition of the American museum of natural history brought back, in addition to the price less chronological specimens, thou sands of skins of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles of living types, for preser- vation and study, as well as tons of geologically important rocks, sheaves of maps of newly explored regions, and specimens of flora and fauna that never had been classified before.
