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.

A pro duction by the originator of the Follies can, no matter what else may bo said about It, bo certain of possessing the qulntescenco of pulchritude. Beauty mostly unadorned, or as neurly so as tho lav will allow always scampers galy through the piece, nnd the thea ter where tho production Is plalng soon becomes u rendezvous for the "tired business man," who seems to llko to find recreation In watching tlghd-clad coryphees dancing about the stage. 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 thla let him be satisfied ho has uchlevcd it. When. In tho first act of the musical ihow-'and i use the last word In Its Players Work Is Clever, But Clothes Surely Are Quite' Scarce. 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 plause tut niffht I itn not think that 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. THE TIMES Question Box presented this afternoon at a reception which her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred erick W.

For The Times' Children Just Before It's Bedtime THE BAG OF GOLD. f")4THEll Is going to take us rback to America next week. 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 A sooh as the town wasraark Bnma slid down the bamboo porch and set out on a run down the path 'be knew .4ga sTsKV" Othin Who Are Good In "A Winsome Widow."

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."
