Catchy music, clever speaking lines and well executed dance numbers, all B0 to make “Don't Ask Me'" the Am- erican Legion revue which opened at the Lyceum theater last evening, one of the best amateur shows seen here in recent years. The production is claborately staged; the costumes, of which there are many changes, ap- pear new and the scenery is artisti- cally designed. ) The show is a typical musical re- voe with not much of a plot but much music and dancing. The story in brief s built around Willle Live, Wwho has ®een away for a long time but returns in an effort to gain the hand of Nina O'Connell, whose father is not a friend of his. He disguises himself as a negro porter and in this manner s able to learn from the fath. er many of his secrets about his daughter and his wealth. Winning a horse race placed Live in the good graces of the father and he is thus able to wed his daughter. There were many musical numbers all of which were well done. The choruses appearing in the second act of the show were full of pep and con- tributed greatly to the success of the production, Raymond Watkirs as Willle Live carried off the comic honors. His ec- centricities, his queer mannerisms and comical faclal expressions evoked laughter from even the most stern of ,those in the audience. Following a close second for com- edy honors was Lambert Lord as the “Dutchman” seeking the hand of Miss Murphy, an Irish maiden in quest of 8 lover. Mr. Lord's “Bucket of Suds For Colds, Influenza and as a Preventive The First and Original Cold and Grip Tablet ‘The box bears this signature | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, us of girls dressed In q costumes, was a treat, James E. 0'Donnell as Con O'Con- nell, the leading straight man, did well in his part and gave the audience lit- tle to be deairdd, When the part call- ed for it he was able to carry out his comic sketches with Willle Live and at a moment's notice was able to turn again to the more serious Mr. O'Con- nell, Jack Kiley as ‘MacBoy, an ardent follower of the races, pided in provid- ing the fun and scored with his sing- ing of “Sante Fe." Willlam J. Hum- ason injected a bit of pep into the 8Show as Herlock Sholmes, always on the trall of the wrong man, Miss Mary Ann Willlams as Nina, the daughter of Con O'Connell and whose fair heart Willle Live was en- deavoring to secure, was perfectly at ease in the role of the unassuming daughter, Miss Willlams was called for many encores after rendering sev- eral song numbers, Her Persian song hit was most eftective with the stage light subdued and the chorus dressed in oriental clothes. ‘Neath the South Sea Moon" was no doubt the best number sung by Miss Willlams, Mies Mildred Hellberg was good in the role of the Irish maiden seeking a lover and others who did well in their respective parts were Edward Ogren as E. Z. Mark, Jean Blair as Dottle, Harrlet Chamberlain as Mollle, Robert Loomis as Jack, Anna Petus- kis as the servant, Henry Pfeiffer as the walter, George Davis as Van As- tor and Raymond Walker as Flash, The oriental dance by Miss Minnie Huber was one of the bright spots in the show. Miss Huber has an excel- lent stage appearance and her dance was gracefully executed. Miss Robina Blair also scored in her Scottish sword dance in the second act. The chorus numbers, especially In the second act, were well gdone and are worthy of only the highest of praise. The “March of the Allies” by the Landers, Frary & Clark group de- serves special mention. The girls in “Just Like a Doll” chorus worked in unison and their dancing was ap- preclated. Robert Loomis, and his chorus also made a hit in their sing- ing and dancing of ‘“Listening on Some Radio,” a novelty number. Miss Harriett Chamberlain and her girls presented an effective number in “My Little Almond Eyes” 'an oriental fantasy. A quartet consisting of Messrs. Vin- cent Kiernan, William Doyle, George Lynch and Tedder Kilduff appeared in a specialty number of their own. The work of George V. C. Lord, di- rector, was evident throughout. Miss Katherine White was pianist. The receipts from the matinee per- formance tomorrow afternoon will be given to the Salvation Army.

NTED TEXTILE IS NOT GOING 70 QUT Leader Will Hold OF Calling Strike in Fall River Fall River Mass, March 20.—There will be no immediate strike of the cotton textile operatives of this city controlled by the United Textile Workers of America who have de- manded a wage increase of 20% per cent from the cotton manufacturers’ assoclation. Pending decision of the manufac- turers on the demand of the Fall River textile council, a rival union organization, for a wage Increase of 16 per cent, ®resident Thomas F. Mc- Mahon of the U, T. W. announced last night that he would withhold a strike call and “play the game' with the manufacturers and the textile! council, seeking meantime to galn control of the union forces in the city. Conference Today Today interest centered in the ne- gotiations between the textile council and the manufacturers, The council will meet tonight to consider a pro- posal made yesterday by the manu- facturers that outside representatives be admitted to a conference Friday between the council and the manu- facturers assoclation to consider the wage demand. This proposal said to be an innovation in textile wage con- ferences here, was made by C. E. Smith, secretary of the executive com- mittee of the association in a . letter to the secretary of the textile council accepting the latter's invitation to meeting. / Makes Charges In a statement made after a mass meeting of the United Textile wdrkers last night, President McMahon ac- cused the textile council of working in colluston with the manufacturers to bring about a small wage increase sufficient merely to avert a strike and pointed to the possible presence of “citizens” at Friday's conference as proof of his charges. These outsiders he said, would probably be called oo m th pi of a cel m th th tul 80! fe m th ameana. upon to act as arbitrators manufactures and the result possibly would be a wage in- crease of 12% per cent, counel evolved for thi and The fight for union control was sald to hinge on the attitude of thousands of unorganized workers in the 111 {lls here.
