She is, of course, in- stantly sorry for her dastardly deed and listens with horror while Gilbert cries, “When you fish for suckers be on the lookout for sharks!" With that he runs off with the lady, ab- ducting her in no uncertain fash- the situations become more or less amusing until the final curtain blacks out the happy ending. Marion Wells, as the lady who did all the misleading, was at her best in the second act when garmented in Mr. Gilbert’s coat and slippers. ‘Walter Gilbert added some genuine drops of humor to the entertainment and Preddie Sherman showed how even a “star” reporter may go off the track. Adelaide Hibbard and Edith Gresham were, alas, swept off the stage after the first curtain. ‘To Clifford Brooke, however, goes the blue ribbon of the evening.

Men who entered cakes in the recent competition at the Baking Trade Exhi- bition in London proved superior to TWO DANCE PROGRAMS. ‘The dance, says a scribe, is visible music as fleeting and intangible as tone itself. Such might be the ideal of the Ethel Hoffman Kane studio of “motor- mental-rhythmics” where two “demon- strations” were held Saturday and last night of adult classes in rhythmic danc- ing, using classic music. Mildred Kolb Schulze and Felian Garzia, planists, gave the music for these interpretations with a command and breadth that was inspiring.

The second reading occurs in Parliament of Eerr Schober'’s “disarmament bill,” T which empowers the police forcibly (o @isband and disarm the 200,000 mem- rs of the Fascist Heimwehr and 50,000 members of the Socialist Bchutzbund—two illegal armies which face each other in “disarmed” Austria. The bill, scarcely 200 words long, nodifies a former imperial patent which gave the right to all citizens to carry arms in the country. Since all parties | have approved the bill, today’s session is | [§ largely formal and the third reading and ratification are expected shortly. Herr Schober has been so vigorous in his attempts to scrap the two armies, because he was frankly told during his Tecent trip by British Foreign Minister | Henderson, in London, and French For- elgn Minister Briand, in Paris, that he | eould not expect big foreign loans for | Austria until the danger of civil war | that the Heimwehr and the Schutzbund might cause was averted. Chancellor Schober promised that he would really scrap both armies and in | turn he was given the promise of a $100,000,000 loan from the New York wnd London markets.

Schober, by clever manipulation, is virtually assured of the support of all parties. | Mountaineers in the Tyrolese Alps are exempted from the provisions of the bill and will be permitted, according to | & century-old tradition, to keep all the arms they want.
