This plece was made famous by Lew ¥ields, a brother of the comedians, who appedred in it for two seasons, spending most of the time in New York. The company was very pop- ular this week. Its return to the local playhouse was a distinct suc- cess and the attendance during the week was larger than it has been for some time. \ ¥ Tonght the last performance of “Hoity Toity” will ‘be given. This amusing musical farce has been well received all week. There is a laugh in every line and the dialogue is bright and sparkling. The show is of hgh merit and the Fields and their associates make the most of every opportunity to get the laughs. The musical numbers are good and the chorus assists materially in getting them *‘across.” The other specialties on the gram will complete their local con- tracts tonight and next week there will be four new dcts to support’ tha headliner. Edjaun Hayes, female impersonator Mabel Cameron and company, novelty entertainers and Hermann and Rice, acrobats and comedians, make up the balancé of the program to be offered tonight. There will also be an array of mo- tion picture dramas that should prove very interesting. SUNDAY PROGRAM AT FOX’S THEATER pro- For tomorrow night the big stellar attraction at Fox’'s is the first screen presentation of Irene Fenwick in that rollicking comedy, ‘‘The Commuters" founded on the stage play of the same name by James Forbes. A cast of Broadway principals give excellent support to Miss Fenwick which in cludes Dan Moyles, Charles Judels and Marie Collins. Larry Brice and his friend Rolliston are suburbanites.

Jane Mendes Nor Will Morality Fall or Woman Rise As Result : of European Conflict, Declares Poet and Lecturer. (By Doris E. Fleischman York Tribune.) France, at least, has taken a defi- nite stand in regard to the war babiss, It will ‘not legitimatize them, because it can’t. Their parents are known,” therefore they must remain children’ of the “parent inconnu.” So says Mme. Jane Catulle Mendes, wid- ow of the French poet, and herself a poet and lecturer, who has come to America to raise money for the French. France will pass a law to adopt these children, but it cannot alter the truth of their illegitimacy. Even in frenzy at the horror of the situation that makes war babies =2 problem, this home of logic does not intend to become inconsistent. ‘“These children will be adopted hy the govérnment, educated by it, and many of them will be sent to colon- ies, no doubt. But tehy will still . be children of the parent inconnu. That stigma cannot be removed. Of course” sald Mine, Mendes, ‘‘the stigma is not as great with usas it 1s with yvou Americans. But in-adopting these chii- dren the government is thinking not only of them, but more particularly ot her parents. e Must Acept' Unavoidable. “Their mothers cannot take care of them. No laws, no remedies can be made. - One sees the situation every- where. Nothing can be dohe legally except to relieve the mothers of a load which they cannot possibly carry. The world of women and men raises its hands in horror. But what is to be done? We must accept the absolutely unavoidable and make it as bearable as_posible.” Mme. Mendes lengthened her eyes expressively, and - waved her hands with their carmined finger tips. She spoke of the horrors which she her- self had witnessed, told of the young Belgian girls she had succored, told, of women mad with the terror of their war life, carrying about their child- ren, slain by pieces of shells, for day and days. She is secretary general of the (Euvrier du Vestiare des Blesses, and her work in caring for the wound- en, in feeding and clothing destitute families has given her an insight into the real havoc of the war. “You can- not understand,” she declared, her bright lips quivering. ‘No, no one who has not seen can know what it means.” Effect On" Women. “What effect will the war have up- on the status of women?” she Wwas asked. *Ah,” she answered, “that is a question which puzzles you people. Biit it is one about which the French havé néither time nor inclination to think. They have before them the reality of war. They must take care of the country and its peeple. They must stifle their sorrows and accept their horrors with equanimity. “But do not think that the war will have’ a great effect on women. No one event has ever had. a revolution- ary effect on a more or less human establishment. Morals, points of view tmperanients, there are = matters which it is psychologically impossible to alter suddenly. It will take years, a generation or two to bring about certain changeés which many women fancy will happen suddenly upon com- pletion of this war. Travel Same Paths, “For example, many feel that fem- inism will triumph, tht women will find their situation in the ecomomic and political world, entirely changed. That is foolish. Matters will. byt ad- vance in the same course in which they now have been going. The French women will be going in ‘the same paths to attain political power that they have been traversing before the war. They will not suddenly de- sire complete emancipatiin, and take on the reins of thé government, which men have held so slackly. Nor twill the men suddenly feel that their com- painions are their misunderstood su- periors. X “What can be changed suddenly and’'radically in France? Women now haye a very real and a great indirect influence on the affairs of their coun- try. Men in France are chivalrous. They put through the political meas- ures which women desire. Thus it was due to the women that the sale of absinthe has been prohibited. Wo- men go to the legislatures, and there they have what they want dome for in New “un- - works at his business. them. Do they desire more? Why, surely they will wan he voe. Jus as you do now. But there is no fight for it. They will first ask permission to take in charge certain municipal af- fairs, then state affairs, as you would put it, and then finally national af- fairs. But they will work at it grad- ually, if a bit morc strenuously, just as they did before the war. | ‘‘You must understand that difference between American and French feminism lies in this point, that the French do not struggle for emancipation. The Fynch women do not hope some day to prove them- selves the superior of man. They do npt even think of equaiity of the sexes. In France man 8 Woman's companion. He tells her all that he knows, and she is capable of under- standing. Therefore he does not fight against her advancement, he merely sees it as the desired accompaniment of his ewn, . No Changeé in Economic Situation. “In the economic situation, as might easily be imagined, there will be no great change consequent upon the war. In France women do not think of being economically indepen- dent of men, any more-than men feel that they should be indeépendent of women. For with us the work of women is almost ' indissolubly inter- woven Wwith that of men. ) ‘Men share not only their business profits, but their business labors as well, with women. You understand ihat in America a young woman goes to work. Then she marries and ‘cnters the home,’ and her husband But in France she becomes his business partner as well as his wife. Thus you see that there will be little to cnange im- mediately in the economic status of women. “And a moral change tn women, or in men, because of this war?” and she gmiled reproachfully, as if at the folly of the idea, closed her eyes and so dismissed it. “What,” she was asked, “is the at- titude of the French women -toward the Peace Conference of Women at The Hague?” Eyes Snap in Anger. Her eyes opened suddeniy, snapped in anger, the remainder of her face remaining immobile. “Peace? What do we know of peace in France? What Frenchwoman 1s so base as to think of making peace while invaders are in her country? We cannot think’ of peace. There are no French Wwomen. at this congress. I beg your pardon. There are two women in it, 1" believe,. but women of tmportance refused to enter it. How could they? ‘Women hate war. Women want reace, evervbody knows that. But women won't and can't make peace at a time like this, “But I think the congress is a fine and an admirable thing. The women in it will not do anything about peace now, however. They will, at their next congress, if everything is in ripe condition, help to. make peace. But tor the present they can do nothing. Far Greater Influence. “In case another war should threaten to arise a woman's congress j0f thig sort would have u far greater influence. For women now are ad- miring these workers. They are wise, they are brave, they have perspective, and they are doing = what is really divine. Women all over the world must now prepare. They must study to acquiré some of the political out- look ‘of these women and then"— “And then when they have the vote they will be able to prevent the war ' Thén she shook her head doubtfull @nd threw out her eloquent hands, ~.'Anh, no,” she said. ‘“When they huve the vote, all over the world, and when they have become as familiar With history, with affairs of state in all its branches, as these wome: of the tongress have, then they will have great power, They will help material- 1y, as partners of men, to prevent a repetition of what is now going on.” the PR.

NOTED PLAY AT POLI'S THEATER NEXT WEEK It was in the Allegheny mountains of Virginia that John Fox laid the scene of his noted novel, “The Trail of ¢he Lonesome Pine,” and history records the fact that such a trail ac- tually exists. When Eugene Walters dramatized the book he retained the same atmosphere the same characters and closely followed the story, for the book has proven one of the six best sellers. The Walters dramatization of “The Trail of the Lonesgme Pine,” will be next week’s offering of = the | Poli Playtrs and it promises to be one of the most delightful plays in which the popular playvers have ap- peared this stason. The story is one that never fails to arouse the sympa- thies of an audience, for the lovalty of the people to their kin = and thei cause is'such that one admires loy: if not the motive. This romantic play affers,the Players an excellent oppoi- tunity for a display of their talents and there are several specially strong charactefrs.
