It is an exceedingly clever nuniber and its many enter- taining qualities are appreciated by the patrons of the popular playhous Jennie is a musical marvel and h freak playing of the banjo and violin is something that cannot fail to tract attention. She does her woric seemingly in haphazard fashion but nevertheless accomplishes wonders winning round after round of applause for her astonishing stunts. She pla both instruments in a series of pos tions, keeping excellent time tae while and giving a variety of tunes that demonstrates thoroughly the mann in which ~he has mastered them.

Substituting for “The Maids of the Mist"” are ‘Nine Cowboys. and Cow girls,” presenting an artistic western specialty that wins the admiration of the audience. 1t is a frst class spe- cialty and it well merits the réception given it. The Four Bannons are Indian club y wonder workers. They claim to he the hest jugglers of clubs on the stage today.

This amusing play i is one of the most successful of Amer- ican comedies. The unusualness of ;thp story and the unique situations which the author has devised make the play one that appeals to all the. atergoers, At the opening of the iplay, on New Year's eve, Stephen | Baird,| the hcro, finds himself withrout !'funds and nothing to his credit but jan undeyeloped mine out west. His | lack of funds mskea it impossible for {him to develop his mine and, as { though this was not trouble enough, i his flancee’s mother looks upon him 1wnh disfavor becduse he is poar. But {a counterfeiter arrives at this gloomy | period and shows Stephen how much leflect a roll of money has, even if the money is net good. . sents to accept a large amount and .he finds that it works splendidly, From the timfie that Stephen ‘accepts . the counterfeit roll until the final cur- italn drops with the girl in Stephen’s 'arms and the mother bestowing her ‘blualn‘ upon her offspring and the j clever yourg chap, Mr, Montgomery has woven a story that grips the au- | dience and furnishes amusement aplenty. An announcement of far more than usuhl interest is made by Mdnager Thatcher in regard to the attraction in which the plavers will appear next week. -He has secured for exclusive presentation George M.

TICKET ADMITS. TO ALL, clever | Stephen con- | Little Sewing Girls of War Has Caused Them to T With Faces Distor and D ! The midinettes of Paris need our ihc)p. The women of America—in { tact, fashionable women of the whole world—owe these little pevple a great | ¢eal,” says Mrs. Edna Woolman { Chase of New York, who is doubtless | ene of the best informéd authorities on fashions in ‘this country. { Right here it may be explained who | tre midinettes are. ‘They are that zay, chattering flock of little seiving #irls who used to emerge rrom the | subway in the morning and dart down the Rue de la Paix with the swift {'gracful movmnts of th swallow and { the joyous laughter of irrepressible youth,” to use Mrs. Chase's own words. “And they have recently been turned into a pale, silent army with faces distorted by destitution and despair.” Thesge girls were the first to lose employment Wwhen the war broke out, and obviously they will be the last te regain employment, inasmuch as the making of gowns is an industry de luxe. After the strain of enforced iglenegs.the heart-breaking losses of lLiusbands, brothers and fathers, these girls now find themselves confronting the most awful predicament that can bhefall an = earner of small wages, namely, the obligation of -supporting the older women and the children of the family when not earning even sufficient to support themselves. A fund known as “The Sewing Girls of Paris” or “Le Loyer de I'Ouvriere,” has been organized, of wiich Paul Egcudier, former ~president of the Municipal Council of Paris, is presi- dent, and Conde Nast chairman of the fund in America. The objects of the fund are to pay the rent of the Unfortunate working girls; aid sewing women who are soom to become mothers: establish low-priced and healthful living quarters for the sew- ing girls and give the girls moral sup- port, medical aid, fooa and outside interests. Production of “Carmen” in Increase American Fund, Mr, Nast, with the co-operation of Mrs. William K. Vangerbilt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs. Ogden Mills, Henry Regers Winthrop (treas- urer), Frank Crowninshield and | others, has arranged for a special per- formance of ‘“‘Carmen,” to be given at the Metropolitan Opera HHouse, New Yerk, Thursday, May 13. Miss Farrar will have the title role, Mme Alda will sing Micaela; Amate, fscamillo; Martinelli, Don Jose. The others in- clude De Segurola, Leonnardt, Reiss, Sparkes, Braslau and Defrere. The production will be. in French and Folacco will conduet. “Few Americans realize the pitiabie plight of these sewing girls,” says Mrs, Chase, who visited Paris a ghon time ago. “Their delightful genius which once supplied the whole world i of womankind with fashions has now only one market-—America, including a few cities of South America. There is no gayety in FHurope thése days. Even in the countries not actually en- gaged in the war, the weeping and mourning for friends and relatives of neighboring states 'go on and keep in- creasing. Fashion is a dead abroad, and with its passing the mi- dinette has become superfluous. Only military valyes count now; in every wranch of industry expenses are cut to the lowest. seamstresses have applied for tor days, and the bulk of them meet with the disheartening answer: ‘We have had to lay off all cur own people. We cannot use your services.’ Some Earn Twenty-five Cents a Day. “In France the daughter or sister cf a soldier iy entitled to no financial aid from the government. Some of the couturieres are, it is true, making clothes for the soldiers. For this they | are paying’ their sewing girls twen five cents a day. Out of the twenty- five cents the girls must buy their thread (which has risen in price to ahout eight cents a spool), pay their perhaps support a mother or a sister as well. Some of the girls have been nourighed entirely by {he charity as a resuit of the war. “Bear in mind that the \ery coun- 31bs.
