A Dramatized Waste Basket
Cast Of '"The Triumphant Bachelor" Escapes but
It Was a Warm Night

WHAT dramatic critic needs more
F" than any other gift, even intelli-
gence, is couple of healthy gall
stones, otherwise he will never be able
to survive a seasons work, since pro-
ducers will insist on inflicting
denominations like 'The Triumphant
Bachelor" on him.
With unanimity that is rare,
every dramatic critic in town from
the potential kiwanian to the Bolshe-
vik, agreed that this waif, playing at
the Biltmore was as devoid of merit as
a hungry hyena is of the milk of
human kindness. When at the end of
the first act terrific explosion rent
the atmosphere, l instantly thot that
some maddened and mulcted member
of the audience who believed that he
bought $500 worth of giggles for an
irritable frau, threw a bomb at the
cast. But alas, it was only another
blast set off by the builders of the
9Th Avenue subway.
Thousands of plays have been
written around the trials and trib-
ulations of connubial existence, and
let it be set in cold blood that most
of them were capable of loosening up
the physiognomy of the customers in
grins, giggles and loud, raucous
laughter. The theme does not ex-
clude possibility of intelligent treat
ment but unfortunately most drama
lists seem to have the needs of
stag party in mind while in the throes
of dramatic confinement. The author
of "The Triumphant Bachelor" can
not even claim solicitude for this
cross se(x)tion of our population as
an excuse. On last Friday night, the
Biltmore audience was fairly repre-
sentative of playgoing New York, but
even the few transients from Peeks-
kill and Yonkers did not grow visibly
excited over the best crack that came
from the stage. 49,.
Here is the story in peanut shell:
Three husbands and their three wives
are indulging in inanities at the home
of sturdy widow with a marriage
able daughter who is addicted to
tears as the John H. Walker, the
tear-loose president of the Illinois
Federation of Labor. "The Trium-
plant Bachelor" before whose tech
nique women fall like tame grouse
before King Georges shot gun, is
seduced into marriage by the tears
of the m. d. and by her mothers
strategy After inbibinp several
high-balls the triumphant bachelor
made a bet with his three married
male friends that their wives would
suspect them of infidelity if the said
wives found three love notes in the
vicinity of their persons, inviting
them to clandestine meetings. The
plot works and the wives raise merry
Hades almost until the final curtain
went up. Of course everything came
out alright in the end, but it was a
terrible experience-T ]. OF.

The Meeting.

Jill was relieved when she left home.
She didn't even stay whole week.
She was restless, and although her
mother tried in every way possible to
make things nice for her, she reached
a point where she couldn't stand her
sister Nan.
Nan found fault with everything
Angry because the world didn't re-
vOlve around her, envious of Jill, she
was impossible to get along with. Jill
tried her best to keep her temper.
She even tried reasoning with Nan.
But it did no good.
Mrs. Anderson took a philosophical
view of things.

Once she was on the train Jill felt
better. Some of the heaviness that
had settled on her of late seemed to
lift.
Even though her stay at home had
been a short one. it had been a change
and it had done her good. She felt
eager to get back to work. She
wondered what her first assignment
would be.

turned in on herself, she heard her
name spoken.
She turned suddenly. and there was
Tony. He had DOTTED his hat and was
holding out his hand. 1t seemed years
since she had seen his face and
watched his slow smile.
Before she knew it she was shaking
hands with him.
Tony never knew afterward why he
had stopped her.
Now as he stood looking down at
her he took in everything about her

over her eyes: the smart. but simple

Her eyes met his levelly, her mouth,

"How do you do, Mr.. Mcclure"
For the first time in his life Tony
felt at a loss with a woman. lie
wished that he had let her pass him
without trying to speak to her.

your work." he asked. This is the
first time I have seen you since you
left us, isn't ito
How amazingly candid her eyes
were. Strange that he had never
thought before to look for signs of
character in a woman's face. Usually
if she were passably good looking he
was ready for a light filtration. If she
were pretty, very pretty. as Dorothy
was, the filtration might be more than
light.
This girl was pretty, but she had
more than prettinesS in her face. She
had determination. and her features

Old Man Coyote and Mrs. Coyote got
no tender young Chucks for dinner
that day. In the first plaLj Johnny
Chuck's bright eyes had discovered
them and he had sharply whistled Il
V rning. At the sound Of it Old Man
Coyote had snarled under his breath.
Lifting his head enough to look over
the tops of the grasses. he watched
the five young Chucks scampering
home. Then, before Polly Chuck
could see him. he ducked Town out of
sight again. Old Man Coyote is one
who long ago learned the value of pa

pointed in not being able to surprise

woul simply hide close by that Chuck
home and ;7ait in patience. Sooner or
later those little Chucks would come
out. He was SURF of it.
So he and Mrs. Coyote hid In the
grass close to Polly Chucks home.
Polly Chuck had discovered them and
had gone down inside. This satisfied
them, for now they could hide without
being seen. They knew that Polly
would by and by poke her head out
for a look around. If she did not sec
them, she would come out and sit up
on her doorstep. Then the young
Chucks would come out.
Hardly had Old Man Coyote and
Mrs. Coyote made themselves comfort
able when over at Farmer Browns
house there was a noise which sounded
very much like the bang-bang of
dreadful gun. 1t made them start
nervously. Then it was repeated. This
time it sounded like a whole lot OF
guns. Old Man Coyote stirred I'M
easily. Mrs. Coyote half rose to her
feet.

and pressed against him. Far off in
the distance they heard other bangs.
They seemed to come from all direc-
tions. Old Man Coyote was scared and
made straight for the Old Pasture as
fast as those swift feet of his. could
carry him; and Mrs. Coyote stayed
right along with him. Straight TO
their new home they went and into it.
There they couldn't hear those dread

But Old Man Coyote and Mrs. Coy

THE CHILD OF FIVE
BY CLYDE CALLlSTER.

If YOU want to see whether your
child of 5 is mentally up to normal.
a good plan is to get two small boxes
such as pill boXes-of the same size
and appearance. Fill one with sand
and put only a very little sand in the
other. Then ask the child which is
heavier. II he can answer that cor
rectly then you may be pretty sure
that he is not backward. Psycholo-
gists tell us that the child of should
be able to repeat three figures, COM
pare two weights. cound four pennies
or other small objects in row and
define ordinary objects. That is, If
you ask him what a horse is, he
ought to be able to say that it is an
animal or something alive. If he is
able to tell you whether it is morning
or afternoon or to know his left hand
from his right you may know the
child is precocious, because this is one
of the tests psychologists give us for
the 6-year-old child
Children of this age are usually
from "a to As inches tall--411 Il being
given as an average--and weigh from
"a to 46 pounds, with Al as an aver
age. They should gain about four
pounds between the fifth and sixth
birthdays and about two inches in
height. BY the time a child is
he usually has twenty milk teeth and
rarely starts to lose even the lower
incisors before he is 6. If he does
begin to lose teeth, don't believe the
old wives who tell you that when sec
ond teeth come early they are likely
to be poor.
A child of should be able to
draw from copy some sort of triangle.
He should at this time lose his in
fantile articulation in speaking" Or
to put it in less stilted form-stop
using baby talk. If given blocks he
should be able to build stairway
without help. Mothers ought to de-
pend on children of this age to lace
their own shoes. If they are normal
mentally they are capable of doing it
but they may be lazy and perfectly
willing to have mother. or nurse do it
if she is willing.
Children of S are usually great
putterers. They like to make mud
pies and slop about in mud or water.
Victoria-later Queen of England
was no exception to this rule. Lord
Albermarle, who saw her at the time,
describes her as "a pretty little girl
engaged in watering the plants inn
mediately under the window" 1t was
amusing, he said ito see how impair
TALLY she divided the contents of the
watering pot between the flowers and
her own little feet"
Louis XIV became King of France
when he was 512 years old.
