The comedy is written.by. Ernest Vajada, touched up and adapted for the censors, et cetera, by Avery Hopwood, and pro- duced by David Belasco. But by far the most fmpoftant point 1s that Miss knowledge that her busband ‘can do wrong.

How she manages this takes three long acts to tell, so one must not be expected to reveal it in 300 or so ® | words. Mr. Belasco has given Miss Ulric a supporting company which is ‘way above par. Small companies must be, for Imperfections which are unnoticed in_large things stand out like moun- tains in little thin There can bg no imperfections, and Mr. Belasco has seen to it that they are reduced to the minimém in “Theé Harem.”.

Belasco—"Quarantine. “Quarantine,” which had its Ameri- can premiere last night at the Belasco Theater.~hould have a long, syccessful season, aided by delightful person- ality of Miss Helen Hayes. It would seem that Miss Hayes’ pres- ence alone would suffice to insure suc- cess to any play, but in “Quarantine” she has a vehicle that is thoroughly decent, intensely human, witty through- out, and yet fraught with great pos- sibilities. “Quarantine” is really the story of two women and one man, although quite a few other persons figure in it. Tony Blunt, portrayed by Sidney Blackmer, has been persuaded to elope with a young woman, Pamela Josephe, who has married an old man. But Dinan Part- lett, impersonated by Miss Hayes, has had her_eye on Tony ever since she was a flapper, and she contrives to have herself substituted for the rash Pamela. Not untll thé good ship An- gosture is several days at sea does Tony discover the plot, having been deceived into belleving “Pam” was suffering from spice and keeps one In nervous suspense for fear that something might happen. Miss Hayes and Sidney Blackmer are not the only interesting members of the cast. As a whole, the play is well cast. Percy Ames makes an excellent seasick passenger, and Olga Olonova an engag- ing Bpanish senora, traveiing without her husband. Meryl Merzer is good as Pinsent, Dinah's devoted, mothering mald, and Kay Laurel does much with the part of “Pam” during the few min- utes she Is on the stage. Edward Bliecu, too, attracts attention to a minor part by doing it well. [ Gayety—"Happy Go Lucky The headliner at the Gayety Thea- ter this week is the team of Walton and McCoy, recruited from the ranks of vaudeville and appearing for the first time before a local burlesque audience. Ralph Walton is a comed- fan much like the late “Blutch” Cooper. He literally staggers through the entire show with ap- parently no aim other than to draw a laugh here and there, sometimes with a spoken line and often with merely a change of faclal expression. Jean McCoy, on the other hand, is Just a bunch of springs “rarin’ to go.” Her dance numbers are well execut- ed, and she did some good work in song numbers are about equally dis- tributed between Emily Keller, 2 snappy pesformer, and Nell Gilbert, & clever entertainer. Willie McCabe s good for a number of laughs as® second comedian, Others in the cast are Dubert Armstrong and Sid Lorraine. The chorus does good work in the dance numbers, one of which, the “Serpent Dance,” is very effective. Mutual—"Cuddle Up.” With Shorty “Rich” McAllister and slim George Banks ieading the attack. “Cuddle Up,” the attraction at th Mutual this week, offers an enjoyable two ours more of entertalnment thax any previous bill this season. McAllister and Banks, while no: super-performers, team admirably well and provoke much mirth. The offer the extremes in stature. Banks husky chap well over 6 feet llister Is best described by T as “two and one-half feet of nothing” Thelr casting reflects clever brainwork, and by their own ability they turn' otherwize mediocre situations into ludicrous scenes. Belle White is the leading femi nine entertainer. She essays a song from time to time, but shows best a dancing. She is petite and vivacious Supreme Court Refuses'to Act in Bootlegging Case. The Supreme Court yesterday re- fused to review. the conviction of Phillip Miller in the lower Federal courts In two cases' on charges of having violated the national prohibi- tion law at Toledo, Ohio. The Government cited Miller's case as indicating the enormous profits in “bootlegging,” declaring that his op- erations for 21 days showed a profit excoeding $5,000. Mabel White, Doris Claire and Eve Iyn Fields round out the feminir corps. Others include Tommy Harr and Paul Ryan as Prince Hilmi, and Marjorie Von- negut and Arthur Bowyer, as Jucl and Lulu, are convincingly true to Mr. Vajada's and Mr. Hopwood's con- ceptions of the characters. Anything which bears the name of “The Hare must have a gorgeous stage setting, which has not been overlooked in this production.

There is a reason and here it is: Glove-Grip Shoes are made to fit—made to follow the lines of the foot in a natural way, as any good shoe ought to be made, but as only Arnold Glove- Grips are made. The soft, pliable leather of the instep comes up snugly under the arch of the foot, ently supporting the arch and fitting it like a glove. hen the shoe 1s laced, it lifts up the arch instead of pressing it down. Glovc-GriF gives an easy-fitting comfort without any sacrifice of style or good looks. We invite you to come in and try on a pair of Glove-Grip Shoes. Look over the styles, too—all the newest shapes and leathers for both men and women.
