Bobby Henshaw makes himself popular with his imitations of musical instruments and automobile horns and plays the ukulele. Peterson, Avery and Rees are three young men whose volces harmonize pleasingly. Poole’s Melody Maids are five at tractive girls who play violins, sing and dance, and who are quaintly costumed. The Three Desty Girls offer an elaborately staged combination of singing and dancing that brings them big applause. The Pantagescope shows a comedy subject. Luncheon guests may marvel at the smoothness and uniformity of the chicken croquettes, not knowing that a Croquette Mold, which costs only 45c, is the reason. Summer salads may be ae dainty as they are different when garnished with beets or eggs sliced thin with an Alum inum Eig and Beet Slicer. The whole egg or beet is pressed down into a de sion strung with fine wires which slice uniformly and quickly. Price $1.40. Green apple pie will be as much a» favorite with the cook as with the rest of the family when the kitchen equipment includes an Apple Corer and Slicer, which does both in one process. Just push the whole apple down on the corer and it comes out cored and sliced in eighths. Price 2ic. RUTH CHATTERTON AT METROPOLITAN “The charm that is Rarrie"—that iy what “Mary Rose” brought to the Metropolitan Monday night. AJl the fantasy, wistful pathos and ethereal beauty of the little Scotch dramatist are embodied in a play that ts the finest thing seen here since “John Ferguson.” | It would be easy for inept actors to | mar the delicacy of “Mary Rose,” but | Charlies Frohman has provided a | wonderfully capable and well-bal- lanced’ cast. Every role is played with deep understanding of the Bar- rie spirit, and many of the minor characterizations are of exceptional beauty. ‘The story of “Mary Rose” has to do with the return of a young moth- er after 256 years in the shadowy land “just across the border of living.” She returns to find her husband mid- die-aged, her parents old and feeble and her baby a hardened veteran of trench warfare, while she herself has remained as youthful and beautiful ag the day she disappeared. If anything, the play is too literal in dealing with such an eerie subject as that of the spirit world. But this defect is lost in the appeal of Bar- | rie’s characters—lovable, human, pa- thetic characters. Most plays are content with touch- ing successfully one phase of human existence, but Barrie has the true poet's imagination, and “Mary Rose” has the depth and shadows and Batter in balls or rounds gives the luncheon table a festive air and is more easily served. Paddles for making balls are lic to 30c tach. Molds with a star in the center, are 15¢. Slicing vegetables and fruits for salads does not mean cut or stained fingers when a small Cutting Board, which can be hung up out of the way, is called to service. From 60¢ to $1.40.
