"Medea" Well Given
At the Garrick
By Heywood Broun
Ellen Van Yolkonburg gave an. ex?
cellent performance yesterday after?
noon in a special matinee of the Medea
of Euripides, which was presented at
the Garrick Theatre under the direc?
tion of Maurice Brown. Miss Van
Volkenburg gives a reading of the
r?le which loses nothing of force from
the fjict that it is always naturalistic
and never in the too often approved
declamatory style. After all. there is
every evidence in the Medea that Eurip?
ides never realized thn? he was among
thr ancients. Medea is entirely up to
ont" in her feminism. Indeed, "He and
She," or "The Famous Mrs. Fair," seem
singularly old-fash iomtd beside the
famous Greek tragedy.
Miss Van Volkenburg brings out all
the horror of the play, and yet never let.-,
j the audience lose sight of the fact
i that Medea is a logical and understand?
able character and not merely a soreer
1 ess on a spree. The rest of the com?
pany is good enough, but Ralph Roedor
deserves a special word of commenda?
tion for his vivid performance as the
Messenger.
The play is handsomely set and cos?
tumed, but we were annoyed at the
Various tricks of lighting introduced
by Maurice Browne. When things were
gloomy dark purple prevailed. At times
of frreat emotional stress Medea was
seen under a creen spotlight, and then
when things got better the stage would
he flooded with yellow. It almost
seemed as if the director was trying to
say it with colors. Miss Van Volken?
burg did it much better with words.
Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
Jimmy Skunk Proves a Friend Worth Having
When friends step forth in time of need
They )>rove that then are friends indeed.
.1 . ' ty Skunk ambled over toward the ?
place whore Peter Rabbit, had told him
tie would find Johnny Chuck. Jimmy
didn't hurry. You know, he never does.
Hurrying is something Jimmy Skunk
knows very little about. Jimmy isn't
afraid of anybody, and bo he never has
to run away from anybody. The re?
sult is he goes about where he pleases,
when he pleases, and he always takes
his time.
When Jimmy Skunk finally found
Johnny Chuck the latter was still in
rather a bad temper. He was mut?
tering to himself. You Bee, he had
not quite got over his recent tight
with that dog. The fight had roused
his temper .so that he was actually
looking for trouble. When ho heard
Jimmy Skunk'.' footsteps behind him
he whirled about so as to face Jimmy
and his lips were drawn back to show
all his teeth.
But when Johnny Chuck saw who it
was llis anger melted away. Johnny
was ready to fight almost anybody, but
not Jimmy Skunk. lie had too much
respect for that little bag of perfume
Jimmy always carries with him, ready
for use.
"Hello. Jimmy Skunk! Where did
you come from?" mumbled Johnny
Chuck. Ho was trying very hard to
be polite.
"From nowhere in particular," re?
plied Jimmy Skunk. "Have you seen
any fat beetles over here?"
Johnny Chuck shook his head. "No,"
said he, " I haven't seen a single fat
beetle. It's too early for i'at beetles.
We've got to have warmer weather than
we've had yet before you will fjnd any
fat beetler."
Jimmy Skunk g-rinned. "I found two
this morning," said he. "By the way,
Johnny Chuck, what are you doing so
far away from your tine home up in
the Old Orchard?"
"Looking for a place for a new home,"
replied Johnny Chuck. "Peter Rabbit
asked me that same question just a
little while ago. Is there anything
strange in a fellow's looking for a
new home?"
"There certainly is, Johnny. There '
( certainly is when he has such a fine
home as you have up in the far cor
ner of the Old Orchard," replied Jimmy. <
"Rut, of course, if you want to wander
about and take chance?, that is none
of my business."
"Who is taking chances?" demanded
Johnny Chuck crossly.
"You are," retorted Jimmy Skunk.
"Didn't you just have a fight with a
dop?"
"Ye*-, and I whipped him. I'm not
afraid of any dog his sizo," declared
Johnny Chuck.
"Supposing it had been Old Man Coy?
ote," said Jimmy. "And speaking of
Old Man Coyote, I do believe he is
coming this way this very minute,"
he added.
Johnny Chuck looked in the direction
Jimmy was lookiru?, and there, sure
enough, was Old Man Coyote headed
Straight for them. Right then all the
fight wont out of Johnny Chuck and
fear took its place. He knew that he
was no match for Old Man Coyote.
Right then ho wished, with all his!
might, that he was safe at home on
his own doorstep in the far corner
of the Old Orchard. Johnny turned
as if to run.
"Stop!" commanded Jimmy Skunk1
sharply, and Johnny Chuck stopped. !
"Where are you going?" continued'
Jimmy.
"1 don't know," replied Johnny Chuck
With a shaky -voice. "Just anywhere
to get away from here before Old Man I
Coyote sees me."
"Huht He sees, you already," re- ?
torted Jimmy Skunk. "He sees you
but I don't believe he sees me, because !
I am behind this old fence post Now
you stay right, where you are,- Johnny I
Chuck. If you run Old Man Coyote -
is bound to get you. I'm your friend
Johnny Chuck. You know that. We've
always been pretty good friends. Now
you stay right here and I'll prove just
how good a friend I am."
And because there was nothing else I
to do Johnny Chuck stayed.

"Excuse My Dust," a Rapidly
Moving Comedy, Opens
at the Rivoli
"Excuse My Dust," the feature pic?
ture at the Rivoli this week, Is an up
to-the-minute sort of comedy; it moves
as rapidly as the racing automobiles
with which it has to do. The work of
Wallace Reid. who appears in thiB film
as "Toodles" Waiden, a racer retired
by virtue of matrimony, is largely re?
sponsible for the pleasant effects to be
gained from watching this film.
The plot is, briefly, one of business
rivalry, two rival motor companies
striving to reach perfection in motors
for racing cars. The company which
possesses the secret is presided over
by J. D. Ward (Theodore Roberts, the
father-in-law of "Toodles" and the
father of the very person ible Dorothy
Waiden (Ann Little). The rival com?
pany has for its president a very un?
ethical fellow named ?Mutchler (Tully
Marshall), and -among its drivers has
others without strong ethical leanings.
Another complication come3 from the
desire of Dorothy to cure her husband
of the speed mania, which has earned
him six months' p robation as a driver.
In order to learn the secret of the
new motor, tile officials of the nearly
criminal motor company goad "J. D."
into a speed contest,' with a wrecking^
party on the side. Needless to say,
this race gives many thrills to the spec?
tator; also, needless to say, "Toodles"
and "J. D." win through, "Toodles" be?
cause of the message he received say?
ing his child was sick, and "J. D." be?
cause the honor of the car that he
made was involved. Throughout the
story there are many compelling com?
edy touches; and the work of Wallace
Reid, Anna Little and Theodore Rob?
erts is excellent.
"Squeaks and Squawks," the comedy
on the bill, is .slapstick; also ? la auto?
mobile. It fails to be very funny. There
is the usual good musical program, in- |
bluding Litolff's "Robespierre" as an
overture, and Brogi's "Visione Veneei- ?
ana," sung by Edoardo Albano as a
barytone solo. Topical and scenic films
complete the bill, which is, with the
sole exception of the slapstick, well
worth seeing.
The bill at the Capitol this week
seems unnecessarily long, when due
consideration is given to the merit of
all that is presented there. This is
said simply because it seems to us that
mere fatigue must detract from the
enjoyment to be gained from the better
parts of the performance.
Ethel Clayton is the star of "The
Young Mrs. Winthrop," the feature
film this week, a film version of the
play by Bronson Howard. It is chiefly
the very appealing screen personality
of this star that carries this picture
along, although the work of Harrison
Ford Hs the young husband and that of
Charles Ogla as the'*benevolent dcus ex
machina is very good.
The story is of the eternal pull of
business and society against the'domes
tic happiness of the young married
couple. Douglas and Constance Win?
throp have been known as a very happy
married couple, until the claims of bus?
iness begin to keep Douglas more and
more away from home; then his young
wife turns to a social set not of the
best reputation for her pleasure. They
are fast drifting apart, aided vastly by
the machinations of an intriguing
neighbor, Mrs. Dunbar, when the death
of their little girl, Rosie, seems to offer
hope of reconciliation.
But Douglas Winthrop has in perfect
innocence beet: led by a lie of Mrs.
Dunbar into the greater part of his
misunderstanding with his wife, and
this misunderstanding grows and grows
until a divorce is in s-ight. It is then
that Buxton Scott plays his benevolent
hand. Ostensibly the lawyer for both
parties to the divorce, he succeeds in
leading both estranged husband and
wife to the consideration of many
pleasant memories until reconciliation
comes, aided by some servants' gossip
that reveals the neighbor's true mo
t ives.
In spite of maudlin moments, the
picture as a whole is pleasing, espe?
cially as it gives Ethel Clayton to us
in an appealing r?le.
The feature which shares honors
with this picture on this week's bill is
"Paoletta," a romantic opera by Pietro
Floridia, produced at the Capitol for
the first time in New York. In the
e??st are included Cesar Nesi, Wilfred
Glenn, Edna Showalter, Caroline An?
drew?, Bertram Bailey, Leonara Far
arri, William Robyn and Judson House.
"Edgar and the Teacher's Pet," the
first of a series of boy comedies by
Booth Tarkington, deals with the ad?
ventures and emotions of one Edgar
Fomeroy, who seems to be an "aver?
age" boy. The fact that the first of
the series is thin may be due to the
fact that he seriest is to be a long one
and the jam had to be spread thin. The
picture is amusing, nevehtheless.
"Ship Ahoy," of which Al St. John
is the titular skipper, turns out to be
a derelict as far as humor is concerned.
It Is one of the parts of the bill which
could be lost with the regret that goes
for the passing of a rich and distant
1'iicle. Hy Mayer's Capitol Travelaugh,
"Such Is Life 'Mong Dogs." slight a<?
it is, is amusing and well presented.
The musical program at the Capitol is
weil balanced and pleasing.

Women to Ask
Teachers' Pay
Bill Be Passed
Delegation From City Will
Urge Favorable Action
on ?Lockwood - Donohne
Measure at Hearing
To Present Data on Crisis
Will Mean Saving for Tax?
payers Here, Says One
of Delegates to Albany
The Swastika Women's Democratic
Club, of 202 West 103d Street, will send
a delegation to Albany to-day to urge
passage of the Lockwood-Donohue
teachers' salary bill. Mrs. Mae F. Sul?
livan, president of the club, and Mrs.
Julia L. Sanders, an executive mem?
ber, will head the delegation with data
show the need of increasing teachers'
pay to prevent disintegration of the
city's school system. A legislative
committee will hold a public hearing
! when the delegation will present its
arguments.
Mrs. Sanders, as the spokeswoman,
will familiarize the committee with the
outstanding facts in the local situa?
tion. She will give, in addition to
statistics of the teacher shortage, fig?
ures showing that 627 clerks employed
by the Department of Education during
the last five years resigned because of
poor pay, that an average of 23,000
children had to be dismissed and sent
home each day from January 1. and
that 600 rural schools of the state
have been closed since August I, 1919,
because of a dearth of instructors.
Would Not Cost City More
"The Lockwood-Donohue bill provides
! for a new arrangement in carrying out
| the educational program in the city,-'
Mrs. Sanders said yesterday. "The
I percentage increases for all employees
[ of the Department of Education, as
I called for In the bill, would not add
! anything to the city budget, since the
measure provides that the increase
| shall be borne by the state and city.
i At the present time the city's educa
, tlonal program costs $52.000,000 a
. year and under the new arrangement
$19.000,000 will be added, leaving the
figure at $70,000,000 for carrying out
the state educational program. The
: state bears half and the city the other
1 half, leaving New York City to pav
$35,000,000, which is much less than
it costs now."
"It is no Wonder." Mrs. Sanders
, added, "that the training schools In the
' city are half empty. A window cleaner
; receives more pay than a school teacher
-?in fact, the former may live like a
prince in comparison with the teacher.
i If the Department of Education does
? not make the profession more aliur
: ing how shall we find a sufficient num
j ber of teachers ?"
Support for Bill Asked
The Interborough Association of
i Wromen Teachers has issued a call to
j members to concentrate all their ef
; forts looking to the passage of the
i Lockwood-Donohue bill. The call asks
each teacher to make himself or herself
I acquainted with the provisions of ?he
i bill and then to write to members o!
I the. Assembly and Senate asking votes
; for the measure.
The association announced that i

Men's Clothes Go Higher;
Hole in Back of Vests
More Material, However, To Be
Used in Spring Apparel,
Cutters Announce
Men's clothes will be higher this
spring and summer, but you'll get more
for your money, so far as material
goes. The New York Custom Cutters'
Club, at its fashion show and dinner
at the Hotel Commodore last night,
demonstrated, with the aid of a corps
of models that clothing for men will
run contrary to the prevailing styles
for women and will attempt to conceal
th<? human form as much as possible.
If you're boasting about buying h
new suit this season and have enough
money to carry through your boast, buy
something in gray or brown, with a
three-button coat that fits rather like
a toga and has a vest with an openinjf
in the back. Xo one would say last
night what the opening: w.s for, bu', all
E-jreed that you couldn't be in Htyi?
without it. It may be of ?re to crawl
out of if you meet your landlard fare
to face.
Pants will be worn in much the name
way as usual, though they will be
somewhat more voluminous than here?
tofore. Overcoats v.*il! be "shauely,
with a full boxed back."
Caruso in "Le Proph?te"
"Le Proph?te" was the opera at the
Metropolitan last night. John of Lev-den
is one of Enrico Caruso'?* best r?le s. a
companion portrait for his Samson, for
he brings to it a dramatic force and
dignity which ho is not always at pains
to display. The gorgeous voice of
Margaret Matzenauer was heard in all
its opulence in the r?le of Fide?. Mi|.
Claudia Muzio was the Berthe.
