The intruder is Monsieur Lou-Tel-legen, handsome, winning, wicked, dispenser of delicate flatteries with an accent delightfully French. Lou l Tellegen is his real name, too. He is a real French actor, starring in the new farce, "Taking Chances," and has been hailed by all critics as the first matings idol to appear on the New York stage in many a moon. "Taking Chances" is a three-act farce in one act. The second act is ' the one. The "wise ones" arrive only just in time for the second rising of the curtain which is on the bedroom scene. It's none too pleasant com ment on the taste not to say mod esty of New York in the year 1915 that her citizens of both sexes and every class and age show such frank and joyous response to a dubiously romantic situation, which is acted out before their eyes in winning wise, but in titilating, risque detail. "Oh, to have something happen," exclaims Marielle, heroine , in the middle of the first act. Her husband is minister of police at Nice, and is so busy trying to solve a bank rob bery that he neglects her,leaving her alone to entertain the "Count de Las tra." While her husband stays out all night to clear up the robbery, the charming Count de Lastra (Lou-Tel-legen) makes his way into' her room, and so compromises her that when the minister of police discovers the count is himself the bank robber, he has to hush up all the facts in order to shield his wife's name. o o BETTY BROWN'S NEW SUIT SHE TELLS WHY IT'S DIFFERENT I've added a new suit to my ward robe but this one's a little different.

The black wings and black and white rib bon give it a very smart effect, The suit, by the way, is navy blue gaber- Idine,--Betty Brown. . - - f 1-r- tfetei.aMfcjjKiMafr&itift t-- -
