company is doing such good
work that each week we say
"its the best thing they've
done"
The laughs are continual, the
lines being in Hopwood's usual
snappy style and the situations
are novel enough for farce
and altogether amusing. Few
scenes written have been funnier
than that in which the home
loving husband and wife mix a
skyscrapper cocktail in order to
forget the wanderings Of their
respective spouses and to teach
them a lesson, which they do
most unsuccessfulls.
This little farce, not so young
any more but seeming thorough
" up-to-date as here handled,
calls for neat Characterization to
which the company responds most
happily. The burden OF the work
falls upon the leads and Miss
Lane and Mr.. Warner rise beau
tifuIly to the occasion. AS
BIanny Wheeler, the trusting,
loving wife of a fond husband
who likes to sneak an occasional
night off, Leneta Lane Is de-
IightfuI. She gives the right
touch to the babyish wife and
leaves nothing to be desired in
her handling of the drinking
scene, John Warner is excellent
as Billy Bartlett, the model hus-
band who becames Blanny's part
ner in crime in order to bring
his straying wife back to the
fireside. He throws himself
whoIe-hearted into his work and
gets real results.

 Legislation

Washington, July 3 LP-Lincoln C. Andrews, commander in chief of the governments prohibition forces. on land and sea. is considering sub- mission of his resignation.
 The thought of retiring has arisen in his mind because of discourage ment over the failure of congress to enact legislation which he urged as vital to his plans for this fiscal years campaign 10 wipe out the big sources of illicit liquor.
