ETery one of them expresses himself or herself (for the organization now Includes two mem bers of the fairer sex) as having deliberats designs upon the first prize, which forecasts a spirited com petition. The contest Is being: held under the auspices of The Times and the prizes represent the Joint donations of E. C Owens, of the Powhatan Hotel, and fharles TV. Semmes. of the Semmes Motor Company, both of whom have been prominent in promoting the sale of War Savings Stamps. TTerv Plan la Liked. Considerable satisfaction was voiced by the carriers generally yes terday when Postmaster Merritt O. Chance announced that a change had been made in the rules that had gov erned these contests in the past, by means of which the competitors are divided into three classifications, ac cording to the territory In which they work and the kind of work they do. The first group Is composed exclu sively of carriers serving the business section, who will compete for the fol lowing prizes- JT3. $50, 25. J20, and three prizes of 10 each. The second croup Is composed of what are known as three-trip residential or semi-business carriers, with JGO, J25. two $20. 115, and three $10 awards. The third group Includes two-trip residential and station carriers and collectors, with $50, $25. $20, $15. and two $10 awards. Ob Equal Foot Inc. The beauty of this plan," said one carrier this morning, "is that we're all placed on an equal footing. Natur ally, the man who is serving the busi ness section, with its big office build ings, will be able to sell more stamps than I can. for Instance, with my route covering a purely residential district with houses somewhat scat tered at that. Even the collector has a chance. On the other hand, the men serving the business district like the plan for the reason, they say, that It's going to keep them on their toes and make the competition keener." Added Interest Is given the contest by reason of the announcement of Miss E. C.

Otis Skinner made a curtain speech last night at the National Theater. He capitulated to a capacity audience which was manifesting Its approval of "Humpty Dumpty" so strenuously that the distinguished actor, after no less than six curtain calls, was forced to make a few brief remarks. In which, Incidentally, he epitomized what a re viewer must say of the play that each and every member of a good cast must be complimented for a capable portrayal. "Humpty Dumpty," Horace Annes- ley VacheU's latest work, is a comedy, pure and simple, with a touch of pathos here and there that Is well suited to Otis Skinner's genius. The story abounds In opportunities for humor. The first curtain rises on the reading of the will of the Earl of Mottlsfront, who has left all to a. nephew, John. But that young per son's elation is short lived, for he soon learns that the rightful heir Is none other than Albert Mott hairdresser, who is In reality the son of another member of the Delamothe family and the real head of the family. Hon- Bnt Its real charm comes from Wilde's delightfully unconventional philoso phy, which permeates the play. The theme of the play Is the danger of overldealizlng one's husband, over looking his frailties and imperfections. and thus preparing the way for an Irreparable breach when the wife finally and inevitably discovers that her husband has lost his aspect or Ideality and Is Just a fallen Idol. And the preventive of this danger, Wilde points out. Is love not blind love, but a love that, realizing imperfections, still loves'; a love that is willing to forgive anybody, anything, any time, anywhere, for, as one of the charac ters explains, "This world cannot be fully understood without the exercise of a great deal of charity." As Mrs. Cheveley, Constance Collier is well cast, "a genius by day and a beauty by night." Her role of a clever, seductive, charming, unprinci pled, and unscrupulous society woman was well played. As Sir Robert, the Ideal husband, Norman Trevor was all that could be asked. Beatrice Beck ley well filled the role of Lady Chil tern.

A married woman, entering Poll's last nicht to see Oscar Wilde's play, "An Ideal Husband," was heard to re mark: "I'm crazy to fee this show, for Tve yet to see an ideal husband, and rm of the oplnipn there's no such thlnf?." If she really expected to see an Ideal husband, she was disap pointed: but the chances are she was more than pleased, for her opinion that "there's no such thine" waa plainly corroborated, and there is nothlnsr more satisfying than finding one's own ideas substantiated. A play In four acts, "An Ideal nus band" Is a drama of serious tone, lightened throuchout by an interplay of brilliant it of the typical Wilde character It presents a faithful pic ture of London society life, reveallnp many artificialities and absurdities. B. P. KEITH'S. War will have a happier side when Stella Mayhew opens her engagement In a few weeks as a vaudeville enter tainer in the trenches. Miss Mayhew, a vivacious singing comedienne, holds the topllne position at Keith's this week. She Is doing a single turn over the circuit this year, accompanied by a service star which flutters from a handbag. The star is for Billy Tay lor, husband and partner, who is fighting over there. Stella is person ality plus and her repertolro includes new eongs and impersonations. The program lists many popular acts. A pretentious musical comedy rut down Into a. vaudeville edition Is "The Only Girl," bearing the stamp of victor Herbert which assures a tunc ful score. The play tells tho story of confirmed bachelor who disregards the warnings of associates and yields to the inevitable the marriage noose. It Is attractively presented by a capa ble cast One of the amusing blt3 of character delineation fell Into the hands of Gerald McDonald who regis tered a distinct hit Jlmrale Lucas, a "nut" comedian. ably assisted by four nnprograjned colleagues, won unstinted applause with his offering which Is fittingly listed as "Wild Ravings." jack Wy- att and his Scotch lads apd lassies brought a breath of the heather to lageland. The singing numbers, as- peclally the old Scotch melodies, were enthusiastically received. Joe Parsons and Dave Irwin are en tertainers of merit but their time be fore the footlights waa all too brief for the audience. Both are exception ally good singers, a fact that their auditors quickly reeognlted and ap preciated. One of the best single act on the bill was the offering of Kdwln George In a "Comedy of errors" HI? rapid-fire humor was subtle and laugh-provoking. Leo Zarrell and company opened the show with an at Ictic offering uhich went across easily. Hearst-Pathe's latest weekly film showing life In American trench es and unusual photographs of New York city closed the bill. make tl hit with their peculiar type of songs and eccentric dancing. Intro ducing a dog In their finale who ap pears to have been well trained, and the Mahoney Brothers, one of whom Is a comedian of the John Sleeper Clark type, are the laugh makers of the bill. In addition, the Mack Sennett-Para-mount comedy film, "The Summer Girls," showing the famous Sennett beauties and fun-making girls, and the Hearst-Pathe News are shown at all performances. U. S. NEGRO TROOPS AVENGE TREACHERY FOLLT. "The Sporting Belles" are presenting one of the best shows of the season at the Folly Theater this week. The per formance Is in two acts and fire scenes.
