Own home to get wraps for the
visit to "The Sand Pile" upon which
Miss Brown had Insisted.
"Why?" I asked ingenuously, aU
though, womanlike my pulses were
leaping at my husband's evidently
enuine irritation at the girl whom
I so disliked.
"So that I could stand at one end
of a good hickory switch with her
at the other nd give her the tan-

Stunts this is the limitl"
"I thought yotl liked sn occasional
, evening in a cabaret?" I said de
murely, deliberately feeding his ill
humor. I knew 1 was being-cattish,
but I felt that I could listen
to" many more strictures upon Rita
Brown without satiety.

A Breezy Review of New York Stage Written
Especially for Sunday Theatrical Pages..
By ZAYDA GLOVER;
New York, June 13.Musical Com-;
edy easily occupies first place as the
favorite diversion of the Metropol
itan . season now approaching the
"sere, and yellow," Even the "lin
gerie farce popular and mush
room as it has become must yield
Ao the rawing "power of the more
refined musical show. Melodrama
has had some vogue. So has polite
comedy. Put for continuous draw
ing power, for sheer power to fur
nish entertainment, for ability to
thoroughly satisfy all audiences, the
" new style musical comedy has 'un
questionably established itself in the
premier position.
Nor is the reason far to seek. The
mood of American audiences for the
past year has been exceptional. It
has ,ruri strongly to the lighter kind
of show. Playgoers hae demand
ed amusement, pleasant diversions,
laughter. They have not cared
except in a few and marked instan
ces to witness performances in
which their feelings have been ruf
fled or their emotions harried. Un
doubtedly this, has been the result
of the reaction from the stress and
grief of war. '
Oddly enough' the soldier boys re
turning from the . front in France
have had much to do"in moulding
the season's theatrical character. A
veteran manager estimated the other
day that at least 35,000 men in kha
ki attend New York theaters week
ly, and .these men are almost unani
mous in their demand for the light
production. 4

laughs," is their 'cry to the box of

One of the pioneeers in musical
cpmedy popularity is "The Velvet
Eady." It is replete with turilful
airs, -pretty scenery, nimble girls,
amusing situations and best of all,
Georgie O'Ramey's make-up as the
broad comedienne. Few actresses,
especially as pretty as' Miss O'Ram
ey is,; would have the courage to
make up as die acme of homeliness,
as Miss ; O'Ramey does. Fewer
stitl have the ability to depict with
as much -finesse the bibulous maid,
Susie from Sioux City. It would be
easy for her to overstep the bounds
of propriety, but despite the uncer
tainties in her feat she manages to
restrain them from offense. She
kisses lavishly, but wholesomely.
She talks unctuously and laughs in
toxicatingly. One gets from Miss
O'Ramey s performance the kind of
refined enjoyment that bespeaks the
real comedienne. .

He settled the pin carefully, gave
his hair a slow stroke or two with

finish telling me about this."
"Oh, you won't, eh?" he teased,
tucking me firmly under one arm,
catching up my cloak with the other
and rushing me down the stairs.
"I'll tell you nothing except that for
