"The Smarter Set" occupies the Temple for a weiek, beginning on Sunday. "Three Wise Fools" is touring the South and follows Mantel! at the Tulane. New Orleans' Little theatre is itrictly a social affair, maintained by subscription and projected by and'for society. The latter part of last week It presented throe play- lets, among which was "Woman Proposes," staged by Ben Piazza, manager of the Orpheum, who was for several years a director for Paul Armstrong. As at present con- ducted, the Little theatre is only a local social element, and until it Veers into popular and artistic chan- nels cannot hope for national rec- dtion in a theatrical way.

The Celtic clan rose to the aid of Jim Donovan when the way looked dark,,, for he can ignite the Irish spark almost any time he cares to. The, e*it found the pair scoring healthily. Marie Lee looked very Ziegfeld in her abbreviated togs. The hit occurred with Hyams and Mclntyre, "May bloom" proving a festive conceit of charm and still gilded up to the nth degree. Harry Fox wrded in warmly, but struck chill atmosphere with the references to* his wife and the suc- ceeding verbiage of the kind ap- plause sort. His aide, Beatrice Curtis, programed as Harry son Fisher's selection of America's prettiest girl, displayed her good looks, but didn't lift the tempo.
