The program called for a skit that just for fun was branded "The Wrong Husband," and we haven't the slightest doubt but that all of the story was worked out in the playette, but we are twice sure that "Hap" gave the crowd more than promised. The unusual things began to happen simultaneously with the going up of the curtain. Hap admitted right off the reel that he was "batty," but if there were any other members of tbo company with bats in their belfray one of them at least must have experienced a relief.

And right here is where Hap Moore's outfit proved itself a bunch of real entertainers. They gave the audience what it wanted and the audience expressed Its thanks at times in "vociferous applause." It was "Hap's" night. He worked harder tban all the rest ot them, but that doesn't mean that everybody wasn't on the job. The Gordon sisters, sweet little "Tiny"?on the end?Just sung herself hoarse with 4bat "Ireland Must Be Heaven" song and for I no other reason than the fact that she was at the mercy of a crowd of appreciative fellows, etc., out in front. "Tiny" was Just an example of how hard everybody strove to please. Big Sis, who doesn't have to do very much more than smile to gat a big band, was very much in evidence all through the fun. Alvln. she with the Impossible front name is to be spoken of like Garden, Sembrech of Jlelba, maybe. It anyone wonders why, pay attention the nest time she sings. The foregoing was penciled to create the impression that It was a good piece of amusement work and to get the idea across that "The Wrong Husband" was a big hit. Thoso who missed last night's doings will have a chance this afternoon or tonight. But we are not sure that alt the elements that helped out last night will be on the job. In fact we are very donbtful about the batty bird. The particular one we refer to is not a member of the com-, pany.

It will be : captioned "A Daughter of Daring," and weekly episodes, each relating a complete story, will be released starting the first week in March. Elaborate plans are under way for making this series a huge success and a large number of contributing authors are working night and day devislpg new ways for Helen to risk her pretty neck. Thrills every few feet will punctuate these single part pictures which will have for their background the fascinating llfo that centers around the operation of our great railroads. It is quite well knowu that Miss Gibson is the daughter of a railroad engineer and that she can handle a locomotive like an old timer. Indeed, her technical knowledge of every phase of train service is quite amazing.
