To be sure, "Old Olory" vaa waved in the shape of miniature American flags, and this added to the bit the song made, but "We'll Take Care of You ilere^' didn't need the "kind auplausc" thing aa an adjunct, as it went over on Its own merits, aided, no doubt, by tbc creditable trrJitment it received by .Miss Lcssing, the kiddies anil the pro- ducer^ The comedy hit of the ahow goes to Conroy and Lemalie, who offered three distinct vaudeville acts, much after the fashion of the dcUgfatful dlnluzueti these two unctuous comedians have made themselves famous for In the two-fl-day. Tho automobile "bit" introduced bv Conroy nnd Ix>ninlre, while strongly rcmlnlsccut of "Motoring," was diKTercnt enough not to la- fringe on that classic of low comedy.

There Is no acol at this laic doy to dwell flo "The Adventure of Udy Ursula." It Is a clever comedy, well writton, nnd bristles with humor. While It In old fanlilnncd.

The old adage that "ton mnny cooks apoU the brnlh" dIU not liiilii ko'sI In thu prepara- tion of "Thn Peusnnl dlrl," fur It Is one «f thu merriest jind most tuneful light oporaa priHiticed In a lung time. It Is also rich Id cunii.'dy. Previous >to the war It was iirndured with nnci'css In Vienna uud Berlin uuiler lliu title, "Polcublut." 'J'he opera lins an IntereHtliig If not no original plot. It niururns Helena, llio only daughter of a rleb land owner, who hns fallen in love with Count Bolo, a pi-Jinllcss nobleman, who Is in turn In love with a l>allet dancer. To win his affecllons she enters his employ ns u housekeeiier and suc- ceeds In winning liis Jovo until tho 'pullet dniicer returns, when hIiu Is neglectud iiy Lhe Couut for his first love. . Ili'lena disguises herself ns an outraged brother nnd clinl- leoges the Count to a duel. Hlio Is dls- covensl before any damage Is dune, anil the Count dcclures his lovo fur lii.-r. I'hiima Treutinl is the star of tlio nrodiic- lluu ond scored heavily as Helena. Slio wns In cxcelleot voice tho o|ii'Ulng night, and It was a rare musical treut to hear her slug her solo In thn second net, "Thn Flume o( Love," au unusually tiiuefui <iung, written by Itudolf Frlml. Another very urutty song was "Ijovo Is tho Benson," whicli will sonn Tnd Its way to the phonograph and to the restaurant orchestra. Of course, llieru urii other solos nnd duets assigned to tho little Ilnllan prima dunuu, and sho sings thum clinnnlngly. Her rule, for the moHt part, Is filnyed In a comedy vein, nnd sho gats many aiiahi. She Is full of spirit, (Jllftnn Crawford, absent from Ibn local ailnce fur almost two years, was given a "welcome home" that must have nniinded ?wii to him. Tlio bulk of tho comedy Is urnlohed by lilm, and laughter reigns When- ever he Is on tbe stage. Ho dues not depend open grolosquu mako-up or Hinpslick hIiiB to act laughf. He has alan written a soiiK for tila prnductlon called "Mary Had a l/utnb," which met Itistunt favor. It Is nlwnys a delight f.0 witnesM Mr. Crawford's work. In John Charles ThoninH tho producers kave discovered u flue bnritnnu singer and a good actor. 1'all, erect and liaiuIsiiMie In Ihia artiste, and ho has personality. IIu played Count Bolo and scored a pi^rsonnl aucccss. Many of the songs fall to film and he sang them excellently. A real success was Hcorcl by a dnueer whom tbe program desigualed ns Friinces I'ritchard, who hnita from Boston. Htlll In her teenM, sho proirul a worthy rival to .Mrs. <'astlc. A prettier or morn grneeful ilnncer than Miss I'ritchard has' not gmce<l our stage or our cabnrets In soinn time. She Is the talk of the town.

The eostunes can best be described by the word "rorgcona." The scenery is elaborate, ei- pei'lally the set In the first act The girls are all pretty and .shai>ely.
