Says Production Is "A Trip
to Chinatown" Done -Over.
The supply or available themes for
musical comedies having aparently been
exhausted by tha tireless output of the
last decade, librettists are turning to the
older, farces for their material for latter-day
musical "shows."
Hoschna and lUuerbach may be said
to have started this 'when they re
vamped old comedies for their "Three
Twins" and "Bright Byes." Tha au
thors of "The Pink Lady" and "Oh.
Oh, Delphlno" followed suit by grab
bins; "The Batyr" and' "Villa' Primrose"
and setting them to music with excel
lent results-and now F. Ziegfeld. Jr..
Raymond Hubbell, and Julian Mitchell
havo dono the same thug with one of
the best of the Charles H. Hoyt farces,
"A Trip to Chinatown," which opened
at the Columbia last night under the
name "A Winsome Widow."
perhaps It is a good thing that Charlie
Hoyt hap long since joined tha ranks
of those who "go to that bourne from
which no traveler returneth." Surely.
had he been In the Columbia, last night,
ht would have taken a second and per
chance a thlrd'glance at bis program to
see if the "Winsome Widow" waa really
his "Trip to Chinatown" or soma new
Ziegfeld folly similar to -the annual col
lection of good looking girls, snappy
music, near-risque costumes ana real
risque lines tho visits of which are the
reasons for tho airing of more excuses
about "1 have to work late tonight,
dear, I won't be home until after
eleven" than any other national Institution.
Names of Characters
Only Things Left. ,
About all there la left of the original
Hoyt farce are the names of somo of
the characters one of the best of which
(Wclland Strong) Is made to appear
on the Columbia playbill as "Kelland
Strong" an occasional flash of Hoyt
humor, and possibly three situations.
Tho remainder is Ziegfeld, HubDell anil
Mltcbell-wlth the accent on tho first
and lost.
It Is evident that Mr. Ziegfeld, when
preparing for the production of "A
Winsome Widow," was unable entirely
to brook away from his annual folly,
and so .he used the Hoyt place merely
as an extremely tenuous inreaa on
which to string nis collection ot gins,
girls, and yet more girls.

But "Tho Wlnsomo Widow" oat
Zlcgfelds Ziegfeld. Why any pro
ducer should desire to show- his chorus
to the audience in even less than tights
Is beond my comprehension except, of
course, for the purpose of creating a
sensation. If Mr. Ziegfeld was after

broadest sense-Miss Dorothy Jardon
entered with her actet ot "widows."
tho audience was a trifle stow to catch
the point, of tha latest Ziegfeld au
dacity. It was not until the widows
pranced to the, footlights ana ' com
menced their dance that the audience
realised that they were tlghtless and
that, from a point a few Inches above
their ankles to one considerably above
their knees there was nothing but bare
skin.' I must add, In fairness to the
patrons of th Columbia, that there
waa not a particle of applause 'for this
number. In theatrical parlance, "It
fell dead."
Stag StMm-Huted
For Mill Kellty.
But the chorus waa not the only of
fender In this regard. Miss Ethel Amor
It Kelley, whom Bame Rumor
connected with a young Western
millionaire not long ago, also took
apparent pleasure In showing tne
audience either that the stage was
steam-heated or that she waa Inured to
the cold, for she appeared In a costume
akin to that of the widow's only more
so. Only her really beautiful dancing
saved the exhibition from being frankly
vulgar and the chorus didn't dance
very well.
Aa the French ssy and they have a
manner of saying those things that one
can't translate Into blunt English It
surely was "une exhibition des Jambes;"
or "ambes" In all stages of fleshiness
and otherwise and none of them as
artistic aa they would havo ban If
clothed at least In tights. My Ideas In
ina maiier or cnorus costuming, or un
costuming, may be a bit old-fashioned,
but I am heartily In favor of giving
girls more protection against the rigors
oi mo weamcr. from ine isck oi ap

Washington approves of Mr. Zlegfeld's
latest bid for notoriety.
Supporting the chorue-ror, as In all
Ziegfeld shows, the audience realized
that the chorus was the "real thing,"
and the orinclnals formed merely an
added attraction without which there
would be no necessity for the dancers
were a number of excellent comedians
and singers, most of whom have been
seen here before.
Miss Dorothy Jardon, In the title role,
was the one most frequently In the
limelight. Those who saw "The Wed
ding Trip" here last year remember
Miss Jardon'a beautiful contralto voice,
and she received hearty ncores last
night for her rendition of "When You're
Away" and "Could You Love a Olrl
Like Me?" Like the chorus, however.
Miss Jardon suffered from a paucity of
coitt.me.

Bums," said Robert Graham
to his little brown friend who
lay on the aand at his feet. Suma
looked up quickly.
"And me go. too." ho asked with an
anxious look In his eye.
"I hardly think so," replied Robert
sadly, (or father says he does not think
It best to take you away from your peo
ple,", Suma dropped his round head Into his
brown hands and tha tears trickled
'slowly through his fingers. But he said
nothing mors, Suma waa an orphan
that Colons! Graham, Robert's father,
had found after a right with some wild
tribes far In the interior of the Philip
pine Islands, and tha little lad had made
bis homo with the Grahams now for
four years. Indeed, he waa treated as
a member of the family, and he and
Robert were bosom friends. No wonder
both boys wsre brokenhearted at the
Idea of a separation. But there waa no
way out of the. trouble. Colonel Gra
ham waa a man who seldom changed
his mind.
Robert went back Into the house and
Suma sat gsxlng down the hot, aandy
road that led to the far-off mountains.
As he rose to go ho noticed a strange
figure slipping out of the library door
and away In the grove, but so distressed
was the lad that he took but little no
tice of the man at the time.
"I havo been robbed, robbed of the
month's pay for the men," cried Colo
nel araham just as Suma entered the
room. "I had hundreds of dollars In
a leather bag on my desk here an hour
ago 'how It Is gone."
In a moment all was the wildest con
fusion. Both boys joined In the hunt
and the whole room was pulled to
pieces In the search. No signs of the
bag could be found. Colonel Graham
was In despair. He was a poor man and
had no, means to replace the money,
besides, he might be accused, so he
thought ot taking it himself. For there
were no strangers about that any one
had seen.
Suddenly Suma remembered the figure
he had seen stealing away as b'e came
up the walk. There was something very
familiar about the white robe the man
wore, now that he came to think of It
Then It occurred to him that It waa a
native of his own tribe who had come
and robbed the colonel. But Bum re
solved to say nothing, but act first.
"If one of my kinsmen has stolen thst
money they will be running away back
to the mountains aa fast as they can,"
he said to himself. And he determined
to follow and get the bag. n

Frank Tlnney, In one of his favorite
black-face roles, in.l Harry Conor, in
his original part of weliaod Strong,
captured the greater share of the mas

dental to the third act was especially
well done, while Mr. Conor's entrance
In the first act was one of the tew Jilts
of legitimate comedy noticeable during
the evening. Harry Kelly, Earl Ben

tributed to the enjoyment, while Nana

of dancing, excellent of Its kind.

seldom came. On he ran for hours, his
slender figure flitting like the wind
along the way.
"The robber will stop for "the night
at the Rock Spring, I feel sure." he
panted, as he skimmed over the ground.
"A man tires sooner than boy, and I
will get up to him bom."
In an hour he came out of the forest
and Into a clear place where; a spring
gushed out of a large rock. In the
thick grass at one side slept a man
clad In the robes of one of tho moun
tain tribes. At his side lay a small
bag, which Suma at once knew bo
longed to Colonel Oraham and held the
money. Tho robber slept soundly.
. Bums crawled through tho grass
slowly and at last had tha bag In his
hands. Then he slipped noiselessly
back to the path.
It waa just midnight, he knew by he
stars, sq he would have plenty of time
to get back to the town before dawn,
when the robber would likely awake.
Still, the man might wake sooner, so
be set out again at a run, hugging the
bag close to his heart. Back he flew
through the black forest, down across
the marshy jungle, oast the straggling
houses of the lowlands, till at last, just
aa tho dawn flushed the east, he fell
exhausted at Colonel Graham's door.
The colonel heard the fall and came
running down to see what waa the mat
ter. As he opened the door he saw at
his feet a limp, brown figure crumbled
up, snd In its hand the leather bag of
money. He pulled Bums to his feet.
"I follow robber all night and get
money back, colonel,' 'the boy panted.
Then he fell unconscious to the floor. In
a moment the whole Graham family
were rubbing the lad, and the happy
colonel telling Robert the story.
"He Is a brave boy, son," said the
colonel, tenderly, "and shall go to
America with us. I will adopt him
aa my son. He has saved us a great
lots and shall be .a brother to you for
the rest of his Ufa." ' - 1
So delighted Suma woke up to hear
the good news and the Colonel went
back to bis library to lock the money
up in an Iron safe.
