Washington theatergoers have heard
much Of Miss Westman, but this is
the first time she has been seen here
Her reputation for drollery which
preceded her appearance was excel
lently sustained. But, fine as Miss
Westman undoubtedly was, there will
be many who insist that the laurels
of the evening be bestowed upon Mary
Phillips. in the part of Miss Timoney,
the other girl wanted.
AS the secretary to Philip Hancock,
played by Frank Monroe. Miss Phillips
masks her love for her employer under
the guise of an efficiency that goes so
far as to know the exact position in
which he likes his ash tray placed
Perhaps the biggest moment of the
play develops in the acting Of Miss
Phillips. when the ubiquitous Mari
anna sees beneath the veil and makes
no secret of her discovery. "Hokum ?"
Well. it is the kind that everybody
likes.
Frank Monroe does his usual thor
oughgong job in the part Of the big
time business man, whose armor
proves vulnerable to the shafts of the
diminutive blonde. Donald Foster
plays with especial neatness the part
of the young man whose duty is TO
make good in both business and love.
Grace Menken, as the heartless.
cold.blooded kind of brunette flapper
that helped to make gentlemen prefer
blondes, is another of the cast deserv-
ing special mention. The remainder
of the company does handsomely in
the business of providing background.

Prohibition Results in Lower Death

CHICAGO, November 29.-Prohbi-

everybody but the middle-aged man
who persists IN drinking bootleg
liquor, the W. c. T. U. announced to-
day following a survey.
If the American middle-aged man
had quit drinking liquor at the advent
of prohibition instead of trifiing with
bootleg stuff, the death rate of the
men from 40 upward would be as low
comparatively as that of the women
and children, who show better health
and longer lives since prohibition, the
survey said.
Great improvement in the health
of children and young people from
to ~ years old has been noted since
liquor was outlawed, according to the
