smart attire Of the Paris Of 1875,
which Noel Coward has crowded
into the three acts Of "The Mar
quise."
1.-THE Marquise" is now being pre-
sented by the Civic Theatre at the
Playhouse on North Alabama street.
1t was disclosed for the first time
In this city last night at the Play
house before probably the largest
first night audience Of the season.
There is no chance in the world to
take this comedy seriously, because
it skates over very thin ice without
getting a single skate wet.
In plain words. THE Marquise" is
a nifty, done up in tantalizing form.
1t just approaches the edge and
then goes skating off in another
direction TO get dangerously near
the water.
In addition to Coward's admitted
cleverness in dishing up the double
private scandal Of beautiful wom-
an, the production is notable be-
cause of the pretty costumes Of the
period in which the story is placed.
1t is a costume comedy dressed
up in quaint attire, but with all the
characters being plainly and openly
human.
The really outstanding accom-
plishment of this nifty, is the work
Of Mrs. Charles G. Robinson as
EloiSe. Mrs. Robinson is making her
first appearance with the Civic
Theatre.
George Somnes, the director, must
have had a grand time during re-
hearsalS, because Mrs. Robinson
brings to the Playhouse a splendid
legitimate understanding of acting.
She knows how to speak her lines
in naughty fun and she knows how
to back up the spoken word both
by action and the look in the eye.
Mrs. Robinson, to my way of
thinking. gives the cleverest per-
Torrance yet revealed by any wom-
an at the Playhouse. She makes
THE Marquise" gorgeous fun. If
for no other reason, it is we'll worth
trip to the Playhouse to see Mrs.
Robinson in action.
Norman Green as Raoul again
proves that he is one of the most
efficient members of this acting
group. He has appeared many
times in other productions, and may
be relied upon to always deliver.
Mrs. Rudolph Stempfel Jr. does
beautifully with the role of Adri-
enne, daughter of Raoul. Reginald
w. Garstang measures up very well
to what is expected of Esteban, one
of EloiSe'S affairs.
The entire cast is as follows:
Raoul. Marquis de vriaac. Norman Green
Adrienne. his daughter .............
........... Mrs. Rudolph Stempfel Jr.
Esteban, Due de Satnaguano: -.
Miguel. his son. ........ Robert Brakeman
Father Clement. 1900. Walker W. WinsloW
Hubert. ......................A Allan Miller
Eloise' La Marolise de KerstoIrnei
..........,. Mrs. Charles c. Robinson
Alice. her maid. Mrs. Edwin J. Kunst
You will have gay and fairly
naughty time of it when you see
The Marquise."
1t will terminate its run on next
Wednesday with a matinee on Sat-
urday.

ton having caused a modification of
some earlier expectations with regard
to its duration. 1t is considered reas-
suring, however that constructive forces
are in operation which should eventually
effect more definite turn for the bet

THE outstanding feature Of the tex
tile markets has been the persistent
movement of prices toward lower levels.
That trend has been witnessed both in
the raw material division and in manu-
factured products, the decline being
general Rejecting the changes in the
primary end, concessions in retail prices
are becoming more common, with stores
making attractive offerings in different

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The week

OF adjustment in the business field was
without a feature of significance, ac-
cording to the trade reviews. There
were. spurts of activity, but of such
small dimensions as to be obscured in
the general picture, and where buying
has usually quickened with the begin
ming of the movement of crops, the
prices prevailing for grain have re-
tarded even this anticipated seasonal
development. Generally the summaries
agree that no great change is to be
expected at this season.
Gist of Reviews.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
business says, in part:
Some gains continue to be made in
certain quarters, and there even are in
stances of conspicuous activity, but
such phases remain the decided excep-
ton and are largely obScured in a broad
survey OF conditions One of the chief
points of strength is the fact that cor
rections of unwholesome elements are
taking place, and among the most i'm
portant Of these is the bringing about
Of an improved status in supplies.
With different basis of demand
existing now, production at last years
rate obviously could not be sustained

lated stocks of goods. Hence. curtail-
ment of outputs. although always tenn

scope, is a necessary part Of the present
