Up to the time this ex- Labrador or concealed by clouds, to-morrow morning the moon will be placed so exactly between the earth and the sun as to cause what is termed a total eclipse. In Spain the like period of darkness will cover three and three-quarter minutes. The interest of the world’s astronomers is centred upon this brief passing of a shadow, If the head weather man cares for the opinion of his contemporaries in science he will arrange for clear skies {n Labrador, in Spain and in Algiers, for to those points parties of expert Jbservers, with elaborate apparatus, have hied themselves from all the | capital places of astronomy. The United States is to be favored with none of the totality of to-| morrow’s eclipse. New Yorkers who happen to glimpse the sun between 5.42 and 7.37 by the morning clock may see the moon's disc cover about two-thirds of the sun’s face. In the years 1918, 1923, 1925, 1945, 1954, 1979, 1984 and 1994 there will be total eclipses visible in portions of the republic. The event of 1925 will favor New England, the Middle) States and New York. | Predicting all kinds of eclipses is pretty easy business for those who) have it to do. It is known to begin with that there cannot be less than two ina year nor more than seven. When there are only two both will) be of the sun. Lunar eclipses are less common than solar, but half the! earth may see one of them. The area in which an eclipse of the sun is) visible is greatly limited. Centuries before the beginning of the Christian era Chinese astron-| omers were able to predict eclipses. They were impelled to be accurate, | because they lost their heads if they overlooked an event. It was impor-| tant for the state to know about a coming eclipse in time to save itself by scaring away with noise of drums and kettles the big dragons that were supposed to he trying to devour the sun or the moon, as the case might be. Superstition has, indeed, lingered long with the eclipses. Meredith Townsend tells in his “Europe and Asia” of a Hindoo astronomer who, | having foretold to a day one of the shadowings of the moon, went to his house when the event came to pass and beat his dog to make him give up the shining orb which he, presumably, had swallowed. Modern astronomers need no prompting to exactness In their pre-| dictions save those furnished by their desire for knowledge. To have set/ down that the sun is 93,000,000 miles away and 866,500 miles in diam-| éter, to have discovered and analyzed the solar spectrum, and to have measured heat variations in valleys and on mountain heights—these are But small beginnings toward understanding the great globe that gives us} light, warmth and life itself.

P Experience has taught us that English musical comedies, like horse races, don't amount to much until thev get a good start, But In this case it began to look as though the only start in store was the one for home, There were attempts at wit ‘hich would hove justified ansemble snesing. Slowly and steadily a blanket of soggy humor settled over the hy Then, whisk! the air cleared. Master Victor, with his fir protestatio, of undying affection for the entrancing Angela, in other words Miss Exina May, brought the Ilmp house to a realization that ft still possessed a spinal column. It sat up and took eager notice of something new under the cal- ‘ ‘ cium. It was surprised. Tt was amused. It was dee-lighted. The little chap hit the comedy nail on the head with the first clip. You aleo felt more respect for Messrs. Soymour Hicks and Cosma Ham- fiton, for in Bucket, the ardent page, who fed his fancy on penny romanco and hugged its high-flown phrases to his buttoned bosom, the attthors of “The Catch of the Season” have hit upon a novel and immensely amusing character. And although this Bucket doesn’t look much more than a quart, he {s full measure in the part. v While "The Catch of the Season” fsn't quite a match for “The School ¢ Girl,” {t is a pretty entertainment, and bids fair to enjoy as long a run as itl euccessful predecessor. Miss May is entirely at home {v the role of a modern Cinderella, whose falty godmother, in the person of a rum sort of aunt, takes her off ton ball, where she wins the prize duke over the heads of her ‘snippy” step- sisters. There wan a really charming little love scene, introducing a lipless kiss (nice enough to look at, but not destined to come into common practice),. when the duke walked in upon the fluttering Angela and told her he was . ; crazy about her. He went away with only the lipless kiss hanging in the balance. Even though Angela was toc nice a gy-r-rl to use such language, you felt, with a glad first-night thrill, that she, too, was crazy about him. | The acene was acted go well that it brought Miss May into a new light, | and Farren Soutar—who proved that a musical comedy lover can be almost human—into general favor. — Miss May is always “‘nice’—aa “nice” as a frosted cake at a birthday. | But last night she was something more. She warmed up to her work. For once she thawed. The fcc melted. She wasn’t frapped. An Irish brogue | worked the chonge. Angela took it with her to the duke's party as a dis- guise. And ft wasn’t a bit bad. In fact, it was surprisingly good. And then, of course, Miss May sang and danced every now and then. Sang better than she did Inst season, go it scemed to me, while her dancing {had all its former birdlike daintiness. She has two particularly catchy songs, one “Buttercup,” the cther “Raining.” Bert Linden contributed something new and distinctly clever in the | way of a dance, and the junior Fred Wright's feet gave their usual good | account of themselves.
