What Christmas
HE.- BY Floyd Meredith
in lions Herald

~. AVE you ever wondered why II
I'M seems
III That Santa Claus never grows
Why, my mother knew him' in her
dreams
When she was three, he was gay
and bold;
And that was a very long time ago,
Yet Santa's as you as he used
to be.
It's funny he's never changed, don't
you know,
But lives right along SO happily.
MY mother says-and she tells the
truth
That the reason Is plain to see,
For Santa Claus is the Spirit of Youth
In the hearts of folks, III you n
me;
And that he goes beaming, year on
year,
Same as the stars above,
80 that Christmas nay mean-say. isn't
1t queer
Nothing at all but Love-!

Many of the vocalists are teachers

as a hobby" Still others are seri-
ously interested in the advancement
Of American chamber music, SO that
the aggregation, which tours the
Keith circuit each Summer, is quite
out of the ordinary run, in that it
entered vaudeville after it had
achieved a reputation as a concert
attraction in and around Boston.
Like all great organizations, it
started in minor way, gathered
strength over a period of years, then
suddenly awoke one morning to dis
cover that it had become noted" and
successful"
Not many moons ago there sprung
to life in musical circles in Boston
three separate quarters. They were
then called the Harvard, the Schubert
and the Weber. (The Schubert has
since changed it's name to the Pill
grim.) Lovers Of music created these
three ''fours' as outlets to their own
vocalistic enthusiasm. In fact, the
professional side did not concern these
twelve at all.
In time the Harvard. Pilgrim and
Weber Quartets began to tour
through the New England country
during the Spring and Fall concert
seasons. And in this same time they
acquired reputs tions in non -profes-

After 10 weeks of strict adherence
to the policy of "One show week
No extensions" the National Theater
Players, succumbing to an avalanche
at the box Office, have been forced to
abandon their policy for the coming
week, and so "Kiki" is announced for
what looms up as a second prosper
Gus week.
Up to the new week Twin Beds"
has held the record for receipts at
the National for the Summer, but
"Kiki' has so far upset those beds,
in financial way, that nothing short
of an extension of the engagement
would suffice.
Leneta Lane. praised for dozen or
more fine accountings, has eclipsed
all previous efforts in her handling
of the role of the little French mis-
chief-maker which Lenore Uric made
famous under direction of David
Belasco.
Washington critics were unanimous
in their praise of this. the finest of
all the players efforts. Not a dis

Lane was singled out for fulsome trib-
ute and generous things were said
of the direction of Clifford Brooke,
the supporting cast and the scenic
investiture.

scheduled for the new week, will not
be played this season. The final
week. following this extension of
''Kiki," will reintroduce to Washing
