TWENTY-EIGH years ago the circus

Gus with a big appeal for little boy
then 8 years old. When the caravan
left Chicago, it had taken on one more
member-Lester Allen.
During the period of more than a
quarter of a century since then, the
little boy who had run away from home

1.-THE Pajama Lady" there are girls;
there are singers and dancers of all
kinds. But the burden of comedy is
placed on the shoulders of this pocket
edition star-the smallest big star in
the world.
Lester Allen is short of stature-so
short, in fact. that one of the episodes
of Three Musketeers' made sport of
the occurrence when Cardinal Richelieu,
upon commanding him to stand before
him, discovers that he has been stand
ing all the time. Let Allen go on for a
while
"All that have I owe to my circus

Parents in the theater, regard

priceless legacy of reputation.
Ethel Barrymore, for instance,
herself a beautiful example of
hereditary prestige, is introduce

from the days when the Casino
in New York meant everything in
musical merriment and lends the

not seem so good, but Lederer was
never much bothered about titles

plays in this country and in England

years ago, returns to the theater to act
the role of Cinder in Scarlet Sister

generation" is asserted as a theme
of philosophy in the school that
now assumes to make so-called
philosophy means Of jovial and
perhaps slightly irresponsible en-
tertainment. The theater, as it
remains the brief and abstract
chronicle of our time, reflects this
quest for the new generation as
it has always reflected the i'm
puIsive tendencies of mass pro-
duction. The theater, for instance,
was the original and remains the
most conspicuous exponent of the
chain store idea. The artist to
whom the question of discovering
the new generation was brought,
an artist resuming his task and
struggling for recovery from the
moral and intellectual devasta-
tions of the war, replied, I'VE are
the new generation"

The theater carries on with
brilliant beauty with the ideals
established before the world was
shocked by experiences which
were beyond belief, even beyond
imagination. Those now making
our entertainment are the ones
who were trusted and admired
in the day when the theater was
regarded as an exponent of re-
sponsible cultural influence.
