Florence Moore, the Nordic counter

cellent burlesque stuff which, if pre-
sented in the arty domains of the
Theatre Guild would undoubtedly be
described as brilliant satire. Ted

by q dozen of his faithful and rau-
cous MINISTRIES, provides the up-to-
the minute hysterical jazz numbers,
-muted violins, screening from
bones, and tumultuous banjcs.
Jack Pearl, the German comedian,
provides much of the lusty humor of
the evening. Some of the wise-cracks,
however, are pretty terrible.
Il am sorry you have become a
cynic," remarks his friend.
YES" replied Pearl.
"Of course you know what cynic
IS. don't your" suggests his friends.
"Sure," retorts the witty German
comedian, "the water comes from the

Of course some of the epigrams
are better than this one, and besides
the expression on Pearls face and
his curious gait make up for the in
eptitude of some of his observations
on Life.
Jack Osterman, Broadway mono
logist, is facile and likeable despite
his ingratiating little lowdowns on
backstage life and his relentless
oheerfulness. Furthermore, he is

rARL is on picket duty. Walking up
- and down in front of the huge tex
tile mill with his banner over his
shoulder, he whistles a tune to him
self. 1t is no ordinary tune, but an
improvisation of many songs with
which he has become familiar during
the strike-"The International" "The
Red Flag" Solidarity Forever" And
once in a while he breaks out with
Yes Sir, That's My Baby"
Carl is happy. The three biggest
mills have settled, granting the ma
jor demands of his fellow strikers,
and Carl is confident that his mill
will settle soon. And he will go back
to work, knowing that he has played
a part in winning the strike. And
Carl is thinking of Hannah. and how
happy she viii be when she learns
that the strike Is won.
But in spite OF the varicolored ar
ray of thoughts that keep fitting and
humming through his mind, Carl
never loses consciousness of his duty
as picket. No man can appear in the
vicinity without Carl ascertaining
whether or not he is trying to dis
place q striking worker with his scab
labor And Carl takes many chances
that way, for the men he approaches
are sometimes big strapping brutes
whereas Carl is scarcely five feet five
in his shoes. Even at this moment,
if you look at Carl, you can see
bruised cheek acquired in an encoun-
ter with q professional slugger the
day before. But Carl knows that the
strike must be won, and he is altruis-
tic enough to risk his own bodily
safety in order to help attain that
great objective.
Suddenly Carl stops walking. He
has seen & figure approaching the
side entrance of the mill. He shouts
from where he stands, "Halloo-o-
there" But the man does not stop.
Carl begins to run towards him, and
the man begins to walk faster, dis
appearing around . corner. Carl runs
his fastest,
Suddenly, as he is making the turn
around the wall, he collidcs with a
big broad figure in blue. The force
of the collision throws him full
length on the sidewalk
But Carl's fellow picllets have seen
him and they too begin to hasten af-
ter him to find out what has hap
pened, AS they turn the corner. they
stop, Mortified. There is Carl, lying
senseless on the sidewalk, with blood
flowing from huge gashes on his
head, and oozing from the corners
Of his mouth and nose. And above
him, pounding him on the head and
arms with his club stands brute of

opposition to the modern European
composers, who begin to be more
and more conservative and simple in
their works, and who appreciate not
only Bach and Scarlatti, but even
Rossini and Gounod-young Russian
composers are inclined to the most
atonal music, to the complete free
dom of form and to the breaking of
melodical line. They are influenced
chiefly by Skriabin in his last works
and by Prokofieff.
What will come of this interesting
bacchanalia of sound is difficult to
say at present. But the interest in
new music is a great one in present
day Russia, which corresponds to
the general interest shown by the
masses to all new features of life.

BRITISH Judge who recently
= stated that an automobile could
not be operated on $500 year has
caused little excitement in labor
circles by delivering a TRADE against
the workingwoman who spends $1.25
for gloves, $3.50 for hat and $500
for shoes. Il think it is scandalous
that the clothes of the working girl
should cost so much" the judge said,
''But it is only indicative Of the
moral outlook and tendencies of the
modern girl" An Irish bishop once
delivered a TRADE against the ex-
travagance Of workers who were be-
coming addicted to ham and eggs for
breakfast. This is quite logical, the
more the workers spend on themselves
the less the bosses ard their we'll
paid flun!,eys win have to waste.
