But Madame ‘was baiked—not so much by Major Fielding as by the lovely gown that twined about ber knotted bow legs, | ward to use her o1 them plans?” for, as sbe move ‘Theda Bara wiles on the Major, the gown became rambunctious and she | stepped through the bodice cut on the bias. And then came Lovely Lady Mary Heather, cadaverous beauty | that she was, all dressed up like the | Hudson River Dredging Company, and she won his heart back.

Smali wonder it was then that he shocked the audience by step ping through his gown and onto his other foot. The role of Lady Mary Was kangarcoishly taken by Fred Walton who, as a “grip” isn’t funny at all. Edward Doyle, another “grip,” was Major Fielding, and he was in- deed handsome. Louis Barteles, the Park's night watchman, appeared as Jane Skindles, und at an early hour this morning he was still standing near the stage door telling of his triumph to Casey the cop. The Lib- erty Quartet sang nicely, and Billy Van and Adam's apple supplied a comedy touch between the acta by redding telegrams from jealous ac- tors and managers. Milly really should have had the role of Lady Mary because of his shape.
