"CHIN CHIN."
Charles Dillingham's Stupendous Mu
sical Production Coming to the
Tulane Theater.
Apparently one of their adventures
in New York caused more pleasure
to the committee of Chinese mer.
chants who were touring America
last year than their visit to "Chin
Chin."
Even those members to whom Eng
lish was an unknown tongue nodded
and smiled and applauded as their
brethren of liguistic ability explained
the jokes to them. For the most part
though, they needed no explanations.,
so much of "Chin Chin" is made up
of sheer beauty of spectacle and
quick-moving divertisement.
Ivan Caryll, the gifted composer of
"Chin Chin." is well known here for
his charming music in "The Pink
Lady," "The Little Cafe" and other
light operas. By birth, .Mr. Caryll is
a Belgian, but a few years ago he
was naturalized, thus becoming an
ardent son of Uncle Sam.
Anne Caldwell, part author of the
book of "Chin Chin". is one of the
few women librettists in America.
She also wrote the librettes of "The
Lady of the Slipper" and when
Claudia Smiles"., It is interesting to
know that Anne Caldwell was once a
comedienne. hater she 'won poptt
larity with her songs, the lyrics of
which were by her husband, the late
James O'Dea.
The lyrics of the Chinese song, "Go
Gar Sig Gong-Jue", which is one of
Doyle and Dixon's biggest hits in
"Chin Chin", were written by Anne
Caldwell and James O'Dea in English
and were translated by a Chinese
gentlemen in Washington. The Eng
lish equivalent of the title is "The
High Cost of Living".
"Chin Chin" is a modern version
of the famous old Arabian Nights
tale of "Aladdin", or "The Wonderful
Lamp". The authors have taken all
kinds of liberties with the original
story, but upon its foundation they
have built an up-to-date extravaganza
with bewilderingly amusing adjuncts.
Doyle and Dixon in this funny
fantasy have become a couple of
Chinamen who have more lo less
thrilling adventures in the pursuit of
the Lamp which brought its posses
sor all manner of -happiness.
For three years the playgoers of
the Tulane Theatre have been wait.
ing for Charles Dillingham's gigantic
production of '"hin Chin" and now
the announcement is made that this
famous organization with Doyle and
Dixon in the lead will appear at The
Tulane Theatre for one week 'begin
ning Sunday December 9th.

ALL AIRCRAFT OUTRIVALED.
Ancient ird, the Ptsredatyl, Had
Twenty-Five ast Wings, W*eIed
About Twety-Flve Punds.
Whence do the angels derlve their
ings-th angels, that is to say, of
panlating and sculptural art? Prom
what source is the accepted model for
these appendages derived?
It is rather difficult to say, accord.
ing to the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But apparently the wings conventlem
ally worn by angels are those at the
albatross. At all events, albatross
wings correspeod most nearly to e
patterns.
The albatrom weighs about 18
pounds and has a wig spread ac 11u
feet. Each of its wings has an area aof
aves suare feet. With a wing spread
preportloeate to lae, an angel as well
equipped for Msght as the albatrss
ought to be able to By very well.
The trumpeter swan, which Is the
greatest weight-carrier of all londis
tance fyers, would be at a disadva.
tage as compared with an angel. It
weighs U pounds and has a wing
spread of only ighsat eet.
But no angel or modernm blrd could
compare as a flyer with the ptero
dactyl ot x 40,00 years or so aes
which, welighing perhaps f pounse,
had wing sp readt a5 feet. Its
boone were almost paperlik and its
body hardly more than an appendage
to its wings. With a head tht was
principally a dagglke beak, aad a
pouch like tat of a pelican, it at
tered mothlke (looking for fish) alolg

SINGING IS LOST ART TODAI
In This Age It is Largely Confled i
the Profeslional Performersr, *a
In the Churches
ginldg, as far as most people ma
concerned, is a lost art. Thousands ag
tend operas, recitals and musical aoo
's, but, as for singing themselve4
tformally at their work or play, theg
have forgotten how. In times past
people of all ranks sang together ao
a matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work; peasants, shepherds, cow"
boys. all had their favorite and appro
priate songs. The songs of children at
games, the lullabies of mothers, are
in the collected ballads and folklore
of many peoples.
"The pastimes and labors of the haus
bandman and the shepherd," says An.
drew lang, according to the Indianapo.
Us News, "were long ago a kind of
natural opera. Each task had its
own song; planting, seeding, harvest
Ing, burial, all had their appropelats
ballads or dirges.
"The whole soul of the peasant clam
breathes In its burdens as the great
sea resounds tn the shell mast up ea
the shore."
Nowadays the whirl of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers In
mills might find It unsatistylng to saing
at their work, but It Is doubtful If they
would sing even it their voices could
be heard, while singing In an ofice or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boas" or the police. Thousands
congregate every night In the silence
of moving pecture theaters, and eves
In the churches where asinging by the
congreation used to be customary, the
attendants now usually listen It slleneo
to a paid singer.

The aklnmos, who live In the Iee.

of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
In a land of policemen and courts of

tie man who has a grlevance writes a
song In which he tells the wrongs that
have ben done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction, he
Invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing It. This the aemy must do.
and be brlngs with him all his rela
tives and many of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
Is consdered something at a general
entertainment by the people of the vii
lagep n which the men live.
Then. while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the song
t wrongs is begun. When It is n

won and to have a jst ause of com
