The fas- cinating “Girl in the Taxi” is the | instigator of all the mischief through her spirit of fun. She, unfortunately, awakens the admiration of the mem- bers of a single household and the discovery by the trio that the one girl, she of the taxi, is the object of their admiration also leads to their individual unmasking. The dash of the comedy and the quick develop- ment of the complications is thor- | oughly liked. Those who have secen | the performances given thus far have | been enthusiastic in the favorable cr -ticism of the presentation. The Vv vaoity of Miss Callaway, the aptness of Mr. Cross as “Bertie Stewart,” the convenient illness of Mr. Birch and the rejuvenation of Mr. Wright pro- vide many laughs. There will not be a performance this evening by the Players, but they will resume with the matinee on Thursday afternoon and from then on the usual per- formances will be given. For the next attraction the manage- ment has specially arranged a presen- tadon of another of the great Cohan productions, “Little Johnny Jones.” This bright muscial vehicle will . be presented with a specially enlarged company. TRAINED ANIMALS A KEENEY FEATURE by Alvarado’s animal circus which in- cludes a troupe of trained goats, some representatives of the monkey tribe as well as dogs and cats, is one of the entertaining features of the show at Keeney's. It is one of the magnets that is drawing large houses despite the weather conditiins, no so unfav- { among | gBown American Manufacturer Places All ‘While many features are prominent suits which each gowns and season are brought over from Paris, it is curious to not that American manufacturer places all emphasis up- on onc chosen point. He admires a certain type of skirt, or, as is the case | at’ the pr nt moment, he finds the coatee satisfactor hence most of the dresses which he designs for the shops are in some form or other of the admired mode. One may pass through the whole gamut, from evening gown | to street frock and find that the | coatee or its suggestion is present. A dainty net frock, which might serve well as an informal evening | gown, preferably for summer wear or for an afternoon frock, possessed a coatee which, because of its flimsi- ness, was not too apparent. The coatee may, if not very carefully handled, harden the effect of the unduly. TIn most cases where it is employed on a street frock this hardness is not undesirable. The round, very full skirt of this net dress was made in a series of two to four inch wide tucks, and the gir- | dle was really a wide tuck, or casing, through which satin ribbon was drawn. Falling over this and partially | veiling it was the tucked coatee, which covered a sofe blouse.

The vo and the high collar and the full frill are of cafe lace, and passing over the opening left by the collar in front where it fails to meet is a dark plaid ribbon band. One of the simplest of the w dresses is in dark blue taffeta, bining touches of white in cinating Dutch manner.

The act is very popular with all classes although it makes a special hit with the ladies and children. Alvarado has had remarkable luck in training the goats and they give an exhibition that outclasses anything in the animal per forming line that has been seen he: The tricks of the monkeys are also novel and they show that the animals are well trained and very intelligent. The dogs and cats contribute their share to the entertainment, displaying almost human skill in the manoeuvers they are put through. Van Holland and Southern in their amusing sketch, “Dutch ove,” are ap- pearing to excellent advantage. Thay are the possessors of good voices and their rendition of several song num- bers, both of popular and classical variety, is most entertaining. The comedy features of their act are also good. The sketch is staged in elah- orate style and the scenic accessories are pleasing to look at. Sensational whirlwind dancing addition to folk dances of Russia, Austria and Bulgaria make the act of the Imperial Four one of high merit. This quartet of Russian exiles gives a fine idea of the style of dancing en- i joyed in their native land. Their singing is also pleasing and they 1 ceive a great deal of applause dail for their efforts. IFrankie Fay in character continues to captivate her andicnce. Frankie s a dainty comedienne. Sha is versatile and clever as a stage en- tertainer and her act goes good every day.

The Clemenceau Case is, in fact, a film drama peculiarly suited to the display of Miss Bara’s great | genius at its best. The character of “Iza,”’ the beautiful woman with the Beasilisk soul, whose diversion is lur-| ing men on to love and to ruin, affords her an opportunity to give a | renditibn of this most remarkable part ever written that will scorch the memories of her spectators like a living flame. Mlle, Bara studied the role of “Iza” in Paris and when se- sected to play it for the Willlam Fox production once more delved deep into the psychological aspects of the seduc- tive siren, who is beauliful with th sinister beauty of the serpent “Iza’ Las made her pet. “Iza” is one of those women born incapable of love, but with a feverish Gesire for admiration,” declares Miss Fart. Her treatment first of the un- whose hands she meets her end, and later of Ritz Con- brilliantly talented leading woman L\f! ! stantin, and a long line of other vie- tims, is merely the loglcal outcome of her nature. “‘Tza’ ha love for beau- wful things s dimly lit rooms, the soft sw of Oriental draperies, bizarre music and nitra-futuristic art. iuven in the decorations of her room. the soft, heavy scent of incense that hangs over them, the distorted idols grinning out of the purple shadows, the monstrous python that she cnerishes as a pet and embraces as if it were not the most evil of rep- tiles reflects ““Iza’s” character. “CALL OF THE NORTH” AT FOX'S, TWO DAYS | i | “The Call of the North,” the thril- | ling tale of the. trackless woods, | dramatized from the book “The Con- |j\uhr',~; House” by Stuart Jdward | White, with Robert IEdeson, the| | eminent dramat ar in the stellag role of Ned Stewart will be seen at | Fox's today and tomorrow.

The situations make you grip, you sit and await anxiously the outcome, while a pretty ! love story is interwoven, making it decidedly appealing and immensely interesting. The action at all times is | exciting and Robert | ldeson with a Lasky stock company spent weeks up in the Canadian North- west to get the proper atmosphere of the play.

Here is a frock that in one illuse tration is made of plain linen with flpw= ered cotton crépe and is adapted to sim- | ple afternoon needs, while in another | picture it is shown made of flouncing and taffeta to become adapted to dances and similar occasions. The design is the same and the difference is to be found in the material and in the trcatment. There is a straight skirt joined 1o a yoke and a plain bodice to which the sleeves are at- tached. The basque over blouse is ex- tended to form a sash. The cotton crépe frock shows the sleeves long and the neck with a slight V only; in another view, the neck is shown square and the sleeves short; in the third view, thereisa V-shaped neck and the collar is made of lace to match the sleeves and skirt.

Why is twelve a fixed stopping place any more than fourteen or cight? 1t is easy enough to see why with our numerical system built on deci- mals, five and ten should be way stations, so to speak, but why twelve?
