The Vaudeville

Everybody loves a lover, particu-
larly If the lover makes everyone
laugh and most SWANS are humor-
on sto everyone else except the lady
of their intention. Sully and Mack
present skit called 1.-THE Great
Lovers" AS lovers they are abso-
lutely and entirely sans romance
and sentiment. Their idea is the
greater the lovers the greater the
laughs and so they have made "The
Great Lover" truly great.
The value of the dance depends
upon the merit of the dancer. Mo-
ton is not poetic unless the motive
power is by poets. Alma and Du-
vail are aFntastic Dancers, they are
no more rhymsters, they are simon
pure dance poets. But poetry in mo-
ton like poetry in words have many
moods. Almo and Duvall have Sc
lected the lighter moods and strenu-
Gus moods. To assist in their inter-
probation they have their own accom-
pianist, Harry Click. Their program
is divided into five parts-one Of
which is given to Mr.. Click for a So
10, the other four being as wide a
variety Of dancing as one could de-
sire.

She is an attractive girl with dane
ing eyes; optics that are both pretty
and expressive and which absolutely
refuse to behave themselves. These
dancing eyes have played an impor-
tant part in Miss Trevettes profess
sional career. OF course this is only
half OF the cause of the theatrical
history repeating itself. A genera ton
ago Anna Held's eyes brought her
more fame than her ability and today
Irene Bordoni owes much of her sue
cess to her eyes, but a large portion
OF 1t Is due to her voice, her faculty
OF putting songs over happily. She Is
chanteuse with a prima donna
voice. She sings in many tongues
and includes in her repertoire a num-
Der of folk songs of various lands and
these are pointed with the terpsi-
chorean eloquence of her eyes. Miss
Trevette has been in several musical
comedies. She was the vamp of

Highways in Conn.
Made More Attractive

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 14-(AP) -
Forestry and road building are to be
combined in Connecticut to make the
highways more attractive to residents
and tourists. The ultimate aim of
the state highway department is to
have all the main highways bordered
with trees in sections which are not
naturally picturesque and to set out
trees in artistic arrangement in
places already favored by nature.
Several of the main arteries for
automobile traffic are overcrowded
because Of the amending procession of
laden trucks bound
from Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts for the New York markets
and steamship piers. Reconstruction
has become imperative, particularly
in the matter Of widening such high
ways as the historic Post Road
which parallels Long Island Sound
from New London to Greenwich.
A long stretch of this highway is
the identical road of colonial times
and the days of the post-chaise be-
miles of 1t are bordered with great
elms and oaks which are older than
the towns in which they are located.
But in spite of legal and senti-
mental efforts to save these trees
commercialism is demanding their
sacrifice. The state has been sued for
damages because householders have
lost the trees which sheltered an
. cestral homes, but to little avail
! The woodman's axe welded by a
road construction gang has kept up
the slaughter.
To make amends for this destruc-
ton the state highway department
will have trees set out along the re-
constructed highways. In undertake
ing a comprehensive plan Of tree
| planting it has called to its aid a
Yale forestry graduate to serve as a
state landscape architect. The next
session of the legislature will be ask
ed to furnish funds for development
Of the plan.
At its last session the legislature
authorized state planting of shade
trees on state highway borders and
gave the highway commissioner au-
thority to take charge of all tree
growth along such roads. The task
will include pruning. spraying and
the planting of additional trees. The
state already has engaged in forestry
conservation and propagation of
deciduous trees, so that the ground
work of the new enterprise has been
laid.
A proposal presented at the last
legislative session that milestones be
set along state highways as me-
MORALS to Connecticut men in the
World War was set aside because of
the cost involved. Bristol has laid
out a memorial boulevard and plant
ed trees along it, each a memorial
to one of it's sons in the war. 1t is
regarded as probable that trees
planted along the state highways
may be made to serve as memorials
to Connecticut heroes.

She explained to inspectors that
she had eloped from the home of
her elderly husband with the Earl

elopement the earl had returned to
his wife and later came with her to
America. She said that her own

with a desire to see the earl of Cra-

or disposing of her literary product.
In an interview at Ellis Island yes

saw no reason why she should be
barred from the country, when the
Earl of Craven, who was equally
guilty. had been admitted. 1t was

Mr.: Curran declared the earl's case

that OF the countess's and would be
thoroughly investigated, no matter
what the outcome of hers.

This reduction holds not only In New

aphernalia transforms the stage into
a toy store, but they are not men
with juvenile tendencies. They are
jugglers. Instead of cleverly mani
pulating articles commonly used by
jugglers, they handle blocks and tin
soldiers and tiny automobiles and the
like. The Gabbys do not take Jug
Cling seriously. There is bit of fun
with every stunt they do. This fact
of course does not make their feats
any easier, but it does make them a
great deal more enjoyable. They
manipulate laughs as well at toys.
