"un the first place, Amy Jewell, as impersonated by Clara ‘Moores, is 80 Pretty and desirable that she would have no need to go outside her home town for a husband, much less spend money advertising for one in a mat- rimonial sheet. This reckless ex- pédient leads to a more or less comic situation, but it is not of sufficient value to warrant the play's living happily ever after. It happens that two crooke answer the call—Jim, who isn’t the penman mecessary to the game, and Steve, who furnishes the required flourishes. In short, Jim is a roughneck, while Steve has all the imaginary graces of an erstwhile newspaper reporter who made a specialty of criminal eases before he became a bootlerger. ‘These two worthies plan to divide $19,500 that makes up the modest fortune of Amy, who sells phono- gzaph records for a living. And yet} ‘Amy serves cider and doughnuts in- | stead of champagne and caviar. It's all quite beyond belief. But it is not surprising that the fensitive patron of the matrimonial “ad.” shrinks from .the roughneck ard feels herself drawn toward his well-bred confederate.

This play was written by Anna Nichols. Mr. Morosco himself furnished the lyrics, while the music is by Werner Janssen. In the cast are Vera.Michelena, Harry K. Morton, Orrin Johnson, Tom Powers, ude Eburne, Edna Bates, Maurie Holland and Amelia Allen. A FABLE. Once upon a Time a Womap wanted ‘ner Daughter to becurne a Great Pian- ist, but her Husband objected. “We don't need a Great Pianist in sur family,” he said, “and besides, she would never become Such.” ‘His objections were of no avail, how- ever, and the Girl began taking Music Lessons. That was Four Years ago. Now she Plays Jazz tunes from Morn- ing tit] Night, while her Mother does the Housework. Moral—Once in a Great while Father is right. 18 THIS A SLAM? (Contributed.)
