4 Real Democrat

Over the world the news is flashed that physi-
clans operated upon the Prince of Wales, heir to the
British throne.
The little germ which caused flu had no respect
for the title or the importance of this very popular
and best advertised young man.
1t hit him, just as it has hit many thousands of
residents of this State in the past few weeks and
the result was no different than when it gets into
the blood of the lowliest paid worker in the Brit
ish empire or the most pathetic recipient of its sys-
tenn of doles.
1t caused fever, pain, illness and in the end,
had constructed a mass of very undesirable matter
in the ear of this royal patient.
Try as we will to erect barriers and to create i'm
pressions that there is a difference between human
beings and along comes a real Democrat to knock
down all the foundations for such a theory.
1t is true that there would be a wide variation
of results, if this flu germ should be a victor in the
case of his royal highness.
There would be a cessation of magnificent en-
tertainments, the shopkeepers of London would suf-
fer losses through lack of sales and American women
who purchase social splendor and standing by hob
nobbing with foreign aristocrats would find their
plans sadly disturbed.
The accident of birth alone would give impor-
tance to the event and only because there still
clings to the minds of millions the ancient delusion
that ancestry can substitute for merit or usefulness.
The next week there would be another prince,
another idol, another shrine at which those who
must have a title to worship, might bend.
But as far as this sick youth is concerned, it is
Eddie Windsor, not the prince, who does the suf-
fering and who submits to the surgeon.
The Importance of his job loses its significance
to him, and he, better than others, knows that there
is no difference in inevitable situations between a
prince and a pauper.
All have the same ills, the same sort Of blood,
the same sort of enemies.
They freeze in the cold of winter and ~perspire
in the heat of summer.
They feel hunger and thirst, and the royal body
produces the same sort of bruises from a fall off
a horse that comes to the peasant when kicked by a
COW.
Old Mother Nature is always on the job trying
to teach the lesson Of democracy, and perhaps of
human brotherhood.
That flu germ is truly Jeffersonian in its actiyi-
ties.

FRANCES KENNEDY CONQUERS
AT THE LYRIC THIS WEEK

There is a verV well-known old
adage to the effect that Smile and
the world smiles with you" I think
this is the motto Frances Kennedy
has hung up in her dressing room
and which she follows in making up
her stuff, for if one cannot smile,
and laugh, at or with Miss Kennedy
there is something wrong with them.
Like most of our foremost comedi-
ennes, Miss Kennedy makes no great
changes in her act from year to
year, and perhaps it is best, for she
might cut some Of the things we
all like and would miss.
At the Lyric this week Miss Ken
nedy is getting the smiles from her
representations of a Society lady
in a song recital and that of a youth
full charleston" dancer. When it
comes to Charleston dancing it is
quite evident that there is a distinct
brand Of this dance, to be known as
the Kennedy type" She will even
make you forget the rent bill-she
says so.
Society Scandals is an act COM
posed of three men and two women
who are a fast and lively bunch
of "steppers." They have several
songs, but they do not register so
well, it is the dancing that holds
the interest. The featured things Of
the act are an eccentric dance by
two of the men and the two women,
and several speciality dances by one
of the men.
Heinie's Orchestra Is just another
dance orchestra with some comedy
worked in to take out the monotony,
but they have one real feature that
deserves mention. AS you have lis
tened to these orchestras you have
probably wondered what the big
tuba or bass horn would sound like
in a solo, l have. In this act sew
eral minutes are given entirely to
a solo on the tuba. l believe the
song played was ASLEEP in the
Deep" that popular melody Of bass
singers.
Zoeller and Bodwell have several
songs together and some solos, the
man at the piano accompanying the
woman. Featured is the ability of
Miss Bodwell to reach notes that
are very high in the scale.
Hilbert and Hartmann are a couple

THREE DOLLARS
A PATIENT

DR.. Cleon Nafe, superintendent
Of city hospital, reports that the
institution treated and accommo-
dated last year 1903 patients, an
average Of 37S daily, at a daily
per capita cost Of $3.13. The cost
Of operating the hospital was
S431 ,547 for the year.
The figures reveal what an i'm
portant factor city hospital is in
relieving suffering. caring for the
sick and serving the people OF the
community. And how cheaply it
accomplishes its purpose.
Three dollars per day a patient!
Very few other municipal activi-
ties are conducted mt that small
expenditure per capita. It costs
the taxpayer more than that to
hire and fire a street sweeper, a
garbage collector, a policeman or
any other city employee.
The showing Of city hospital in
the matter Of maintenance cost
and service rendered is an excel.
lent example Of what can be ac-
complished by municipal institu-

La Pearl and Come have a novel
opening to their act in which they
appear as an acrobatic team. They
come out and start the acrobatics
and the rings they have to work on
tumble down leaving them in a
quandry.
Then from the audience zones the

two is persuaded 10 come onto the
stage and he sings, 90 Sol Mic" for

son goes over well. From then on
the act has much comedy.

And I did and they did.
SO I took THE SungaZers' home

comfortable chair and said: Now

Knibbs knows about tramps and

LOOKING OVER
NEW PALACE BILL

Always have liked stringed or
chestras and in the act of Townsend
Bolds and Company at the Palace
today and tomorrow we have n very
good one. There are six people in
the orchestra and a dancing team
who alternate in their numbers.
The orchestra confines itself TO
melodies that possess a very lively
tempo and produces some pleasing
effects.
The other feature Of the act is
the dancing of Townsend and Bold.
They move around with ease and
grace and are fine entertainers in
this line.
Another thing that is rather In
usual is the male soprano Of the
act.
Charles and Grace Heating have
an act that leaves me rather "up
in the air" In other words I don't
quite know where we are after see
ing the act. We have a sentimental
boy and girl romance that starts
off pretty well and then as It moves
along tho tendency to Overact seems
TO get the best of the boy and the
act becomes just a big lot Of foolish
and rather sticky sentimentality.
Don't mean to say it's all wrong,
but do mean that it IS badly over
acted toward the finish and in an
act Of this type it just cannot be
done with safety.

Frunce:s Peril

Frances situation is most precarious.
Down, down, down continues the franc, while
Frenchmen with fortunes are slipping their money
out of the country or buying foreign securities lest
the bottom drop out entirely and leave them penni-
less.
The national finances are in a frightful mess,
and are getting worse daily as the politicians run
around in circles without doing a thing to forestall
collapse.
Taking courage from events, The Fascista of
Rome has now come out in the open, boldly advising
the Fascists of France that the time has come to
strike.
Even the most conservative, neutral and friendly
Observers in the French capital warn that anything
can happen at any time-from a coup d'etat led by
the reactionaries or the emissaries of Moscow to a
dictatorship under a man on horseback"
Yet in the midst of these sinister rumblings the
gentlemen Of the Palais Bourbon-the Chamber of
Deputies-meet and palaver and pass laws to regu-
late the shape Of the nipples on babies bottles.
And when some leader, more awake than the
rest, calls the governments attention to the danger.
some little fellow jumps up and gets a lot of ap-
plause by blaming it on everybody under the sun
except themselves. The increase of French paper

French fortunes into foreign securities. Oh no!
The fall of the franc, these soothing-syrup fellows
say, is due to some sort of international conspiracy
led by New York or London or Berlin. Or to a
speech by Senator Smoot in Washington.
What nonsense! Frances peril today is due to
the fact that ever since the armistice French poll
ticians have been chasing willie
nothing to put the nations finances in order while
promising the people that Germany, America, Brit
ain, anybody and everybody, would pay for the war
except France.
Fundamentally, France is better off than any
other country of Europe. The annual report of the
Banque de Paris ct des Pays-Bas says that crops
are good throughout the land; that mining and in
dustrial production is above normal; that foreign
trade is assuming unusual activity; that there is no
unemployment and that individually the French citi.
zen is comparatively prosperous.
