Observation-Disclosures Lane"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lane.
Eddie Dowling's perennial musical
show, Honeymoon Lane" is the pres
entation at the Belasco this week, with
Kate Smith, who appeared in the orig
inal cast on Broadway two years ago
plaving her original part. The Savoy
ans. the stock company at the Belasco,
have undertaken a pretentious piece OF
work in Honeymoon Lane" but they
put it across with most of the pep,
punch and vigor of the original pro-
duction.
Good music albeit somewhat out of
date; snappy lines and clever comedy
carry the action of the play along to
the usual happy climax finding the
happy young couple on the road to the
little white house at the end of honey
moon lane.
Honeymoon Lane" demands more
than a bit of good character work, and
it is plain that particular pains have
been taken by the casting director to
choose suitable people. There is no dis
cordant note in the presentation. al
though the dialogue might we'll be
shortened, particularly in the second
act The comedy is fast and full of
0SS~
music that kept the original production
in New York for year.
Last week Miss Smith was in black
face. This week she take a part in
which she revels Honeymoon Lane"
gives her ample scope for the speciality
numbers she puts across so we'll, and
she delights in appearing as herself,
the low-voiced princess of jazz. Her
pep and personality contribute no small
bit to the success of the show.

MEXICO TEACHING

paign.

MONTEREY. Mexico Especially -
Teaching agriculture and cattle raising
by correspondence is the latest wrinkle
of the educational program of the Mexi-
can government. No charge is made
for the several courses that are offered
and the lessons are being sent to more
than 5000 men in various parts of the
country. The instruction is intended to
be of the most practical nature and the
language Of the lessons is as simple as
was possible to make it, so that it might
be read and understood by men of little
education.
One of the primary objects sought by
the correspondence method is to in
struct farmers in the use of modern
implements and methods. The single
handled wooden plow is still almost uni
versally used throughout Mexico and it
it is pulled by slow-moving oxen. A
mere scratching of the soil Is all the
cultivation that is given the crops.
The correspondence instruction also
includes fruit growing. Almost every
kind of fruit known to the temperate
and tropical zones can be grown in
Mexico. but no attempt has ever been
made to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity which this industry offers. The
correspondence courses are being con-
Quoted by the department of agricul-
ture of the Mexican government.
