pany. At the Murat William Hodge, in

“SCANDALS OF 1919,”
ENGLISH’S PLAT.
George White’s “Scandals of 1919.”
coming next week to English’s, were seen
in New York, at the Liberty theater,
where they opened last June, and so far
they have appeared only In that city
and Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
This production has no plot, but it is
what the press representative terms, “one
of those kaleidoscopic emtertfiinments,
with a constant change of scenes, mov
ing so fast from one to another that
there is never a chance for a dull mo
ment.”
Mr. White chose current happenings of
the day, as chronicled in the newspapers,
and bnilt a story about these that
promise® to be one of the cleverest
pieces In many a day.
When be was doing his choosing he
picked Ann Pennington for his leading
woman. Miss Pennington Is one of the
-most individualistic persons on the stage
and a great favorite locally. Others
in the cast are Lou Iloltz, Lester Allen.
'George Blckel. Ethel Delmar and Moran
and Mack, and a chorus designated as
“beautiful scandalmongers."
CARTOONIST WROTE
MURAT’S PXAY.
Will B. Johnston, a young newspaper
man, and cartoonist of the New York
World, wrote the book and lyrics- for
“Take It From Me,” the Murat’s attrac
tion, and in doing so instilled into them
the rare humor and subtleties that only
a newspaper man can see and convey
through his constant rubbing elbows
with humanity at. large.
Will R. Anderson caught this same
spirit in composing the melodies. Tin
, kling and full of melody, they have a
rythm that makes them readily hum
able and whlstley. The plot concerns
the easy fling life of Tome Eggert, who
finds himself, at the death of his uncle,
in possession of a big department store,
wbipb he has to Tun for one year and
chow a profit before the business re
verts to him permanently. He appoints
two of his pals to aid him, and sets
about to destroy the business to thwart
the plans of a scheming employe.
In the piece we with -ace the Gardiner
Trio, Fred Hillebrand, ISoe Barnett. 1
Douglass, Leavitf, Alice Hills, James
Dyrenforth, Ruth Lockewood, Flo Mor
rison, William Balfour, Harry Burnham,
and others.

Watson Sisters Rose
from Burlesque Stage
Fannie and Kittle Watson, who have
Important roles In “Monte Crist© Jr-"
which comes to the Shubert Murat the
ter the week of Feb. 2, with matinees on
Wednesday and- Saturday, appeared to
gether for some years in burlesque, pre
senting an “olio” act of thetr own. And
from the first they paid special atten
tion to the clothes and costumes they
wore.
“One of the first things we decided
upon,” remarked Kitty recently, “was
that we would not wear the regulation
burlesque tights. It was a constant bat
tle, and sometimes it even looked as
though It might cost us our engage
ment. But we stuck to the idea aud we
feel that It has paid overwhelmingly in
the end. Skirts were such a novelty that
we attracted special attention because
we wore them. Another thing we de
cided early to wear just as good clothes
as we possibly could. We felt that spend
ing our entire salaries on good stage
togs was not an extravagance, but an
act of wisdom that would prove a fu
ture benefit. And it baa, decidedly.
“It was about eight years ago,” she
went on, “that we broke into the game.
Our father was a bandmaster and we
started an act with our mother. All three
of us appeared in burlesque together as
the ‘Watson Sisters,’ and frequently our
motltfcr was mistaken for the youngest of
the three. Later we went into vaude
ville, but through it all mother has -been
part of the partnership. For although
she is now an Invisible partner, she is a
most important one, for she still keeps
house for us in Buffalo.”
It was while the two Watson girls
were In vaudeville that J. J. Shubert saw
them and engaged them for the present
show. In discussing some of the pop
ular belief about stage life, Fanny Wat
son characterized as “so much rubbish”
the stories that are told of adoring
young men of wealth and position madly
chasing after chorus girls, and even con
gesting the alleys at the stage entrances
in their mad competition.
Scores Politics ,
in Prison Work
Declaring that the worst enemy t*
prison reform is politics, Mrs. Jacob P.
Dnnn, a member of the Indiana Woman’s
Prison board of trustees, addressed the
training class of the public library yes
terday on "Modern Prisons.” She con

When Nora Bayes closes her Chicago
engagement in her musical comedy,
“I.adic s First," on Feb. 8. she heads this
way and opens at the Sliubert-Murat the
following night. Nora is her own man
ager now as well aa her own sta r aqd
has been very successful In guiding the
destinies of her musical farce, which U
said to have more than its share of fun.
It enjoyed a elx months’ run In New
York last season In a theater named
after Its star and has been hailed as a
success In Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities.
It will have had a twelve weeks’ run
in Chicago to capacity audiences when it
comes hore and undoubtedly could re
main longer In the windy city if Nora
didn’t have contracts that she must keep.
When she appears here at the Shubert-
Muraf it will be the first lap of a trip
that takes her to the Pacific coast and
back. She displays her managerial good

original members of her company.
Return of Thurston
to Come Next Week
Thurston, the magician, returns to this
city early next month, following his
phenomenally successful season of eight
weeks in Charles B. Dillingham’s Globe
theater, on Broadway, New York. Origi
nally booked for two weeks, Mr. Dilling
ham, after witnessing the magician’s per
formance, appealed to him to extend his
engagement six more weeks.
The keynote to Thurston's performance
this year is “thrill,” according to a rep
resentative of the company, who has said:
“The majority of Thurston’s creations
smack of afterworld workings and hob
goblin spells, alt-hough there is an’ abun
dance of humor Introduced. Thurston,
himself wdthont mystic habiliments
exaggerated mannerisms, is a personage
of distinct magnetism and his cleverness
in legerdemain and digital trickery lias
been a marvel to all who have witnessed
his' performance.”
Thurston claims that he carries three
times as much paraphernalia as did the
old-time magicians and also a company
of twenty-six people.

CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE
HUB
I take a rest while we
1 wait for our rescue by
| Morrison.
“Good old Morrison’ Trust him!" Bob
whispered as he wrapped me snugly on
one of the hig divans. Better take a
little sleep, my dear. You were awake
all night, you know.”
"Good old Morrison,” r repeated. T
l-ecajled Morrison as I had last seen him.
He was leading the party away from the
<nve and down to the camp at the fool
of the mountains. He had ordered
Katherine Miller to be placed on a burro
which was led behind !his own horse.
Katherine had protested that she
wouldn’t leave the place where she bjil
ruled as a kind of gypsy queen. But
finding her bad been the one object oI
Morrison’s expedition. It wasn’t like the
detective to 10-e her when found.
Morrison wouldn’t lose us, either. With
that comforting thought In mind, I trleu
:o sleep. But I failed [ couldn’t help
being bitter when I thought of the tiger
woman. ,
Bob had nearly lost his life and 1 baa
nearly lost mine because Bob had
thought it his duty to save the girl
from her own foolishness.
"It’s always so,” I said to myself.
“Whenever we go too far out *f our
way for the sake of a duty we are sure
to overlay other people’s duties. And that
doesn’t do them any good. It’s better
that an individual shouldn’t be saved
from his part of the world’s work. Let
each human being carry his proper share
of the world-burden —and nobody-any
n here would have mere than belonged
to him. People who break In families
or out of* theru In business in govern
ments are usually persons 'who assume
mor, than their own shate of responsi
bility. They may do so willingly 7 —or
they may permit others to heap bur.
dens on them. It isn’t fair. What is
unfair is also unwise We all ran to
the rescue of Katherine Miller—and she
didn’t want t$ be saved. And we have
got into some pretty awful dangers.”
I turned restlessly and the covers
dropped from my conch.
Bob put tliem back. \
“It isn't likely that Morrison will fail,
my dear. Go to sleep."
Instead of trying, I sat up and asked:
“What good will Morrison's rescue,
party do you apd mo? Where are Oirys
and Archer and Spence? Mofrlson lias
got some job, if he hunts us all up, my
dear.”
“If you're going to be worth hunting
up, you’d better go to sleep,” was Bob’s
touchy comment. .
“Nobody can solve the riddla of this
room. Archer failed. He’s an engineer,"
I persisted.
Bob was silent—as he often Is when
I push him hard in an argument.
"Certeis thinks you're done for. Dame
Camilla thinks I am buried and done
for. Our friends think so. Nobody
will hunt for us. Not even the detec
tive,” T went on piling up nil the har
assing conditions I could collect.
“Morrison has never believed in Car
tels,” said my husband. “And Morrison
is just aching for a chance to shoot up
this ranch. Queer things will happen—
when he comes back.”
“The very queerest, my dear, will be
our escape,” I said, despondently. Then
I pretended to go to sleep. I kept still
for a long time and then bobbed up
with a question designed to startle my
husband. It had been in my subcon
scious mind for hours. It was the reason
I couldn’t go to sleep.
“What has become of Katherine Mil
ker ?"
“I didn't think to ask Morrison,” Bob
replied with a yawn.
“He didn’t think to ask 1” T murmured
jubilantly. “I’m so glad that he didti’t.
think to ask! Still, it’s Important. l>f
she guesses what Morrison has planned
the detective- may find the haciend
forees nicely armed for his reception
when he comes back again.”—Copyright,
1920.

Griffith's latest production, "The Greatest
Question.” whieh will be seen at the
