without word of friendly greeting but with
battle in her eye, she swung for the white

down.
Instead he bounded to his feet and swung

chin. Africa flopped. With grunt of panied
surprise she met the pavement but the meet

the fight was on.
The crowd cheered impartially and fast.

were ripping, as we'll as disastrous.
Sympathizing bystanders donated suf-

NATIONAI-"On Approval"

Charles Dillingham; will present the
newest Frederick Lonsdale comedy,
con Approval" at the National The
ater next Monday and for one week.
This play. by the brilliant author or
THE Last of Mrs. Cheyney," Aren't
We Alp" and Spring Cleaning, mas
been one of the outstanding society
hits of the dramatic season In New
York and. it is claimed, has drawn
the smartest class" audience of the
season.
The new play follows the Lonsdale
tradition closely by dealing with the
smart upper-crust English society
types who live in such nelghborhooos
as Bedford Square. Berkeley Square
and Park Lane. These society people
also have a shooting box in Scotland.
Thus we have in the play a. typlcai
home of that society in London which
is vaguely called Mayfair" with the
succeeding two acts showing a typl-
cal resort in Scotland, where the
same smart people spend few weeks
shooting grouse and making love 10
each other.
The dialogue is declared brilliant
and many smart epigrams are found,
such as one might expect in Ions
dale comedy. There are only four
people in the cast.
wallace Eddinger and Hugh Wake
field have the leading male roles,
while Violet Kemble Cooper and Vera
Nelson have the feminine roles.
The play has been staged by Athole
Stewart, who came from London for
this purpose.
