Most people expect "Twin Deds" lo be
obsconlc.
As it matter of fact It Is neither ono
nor the other.
Most farccn nre lbsenlc because they
put the cause of tlm whole trouble wny
back In the past, The wronit Kortttettmn
Kcts found In the wrong lady's company;
the loVInK anil Innocent husband can't
explain why he has been out all night.
And then the thin? gets fought out for
three nets.
Mnrprnret Mayo prefers another dra
matic method. Whether It's "Oaby .Mine"
or 'Twin Deds. she starts with a family
QUnrrel, which Isn't 'supponed to do much
more than supply "atmosphere" nnd set
the sails for trouble. Alone townrd the
beg I mi I riff of the second act, she lets you
bejrln to see the roelts ahead. At the drop
of the curtain the breakliiK waves are
dashing; hlKh nnd saylnft, "Monti, the
Dago tenor, has picked out the wron.t
flat nnd (rone to bed In Hie nbcnt hill
band's half of the twin couches." And all
through the third net tho stern and rock,
bound const of tempestuous fiirclem
trouble Is poiimlliiir up unit down nuclei
AT THE THEATRES LAST NIGHT
that poor couple's shallow shallop of
happiness.
tt Isn't n bad system. It makes noil
think that the openlns net mo a little
slim In this case much slimmer than In
"Baby Mine' but it lenves yon with the
final, IhiKcrlnK Impression it having
rocked wildly In your Boat for n good deal
longer tlmo thnn you actually did. And
In "Twin Beds," the system has been
pushed to the point of producing a more
crowded nnd complicated and confused,
and therefoio, more cachlnnatloua last
act than the American stage has known
In many years.
Very probably tho whole thing would
have been funnier ct If tho company
at tho derrick had played It In that over
best farce key the deadly serious, the
absolutely natural. Instead, they most
of them, anyway shouted nnd grabbed
chairs nnd did things which would have
betrayed them to the others If It hadn't
happened up on a plntform about 10 times
better lighted than any room.
They "got nway with It." flay Cox
can get awny with ant'.:ng. A man who
can disrobe In such amazingly funny
ways "as Mr. Carrlllo can put a wordless
but rousing climax on the quietest of
second nets. And In the excitement of
the moment nobody Is going to notice
that Earle L'ootho acts Just like a stage
tnanngcr.
But how much more the actors would
have got out of "Twin Beds" If they had
tried to put leal characters Into It. Imag
ine John Wcstley playing the husband as
a genuinely nervous young man Instead
of a well-fed, bounding broker who
couldn't possibly worry over his wife.
Imagine if thoy had all tried as hard
as Zalna Curzon, who was really very
charming und naive and therefore plausi
ble nnd amusing an the young wife or
tribulation. Imagine If they had all had
the art of that veteran of 0 victories,
Alice John, who can resist May Vokeslng
or Maude Kburnelng an Irish maid.
But "Twin Beds" was funny, anyway.
It wasn't very delicate, perhaps. But It
certainly never leered. And, its Jokes on
mm very joiceaDie subject or twin beds
were good Jokes. Moreover, whatever
may be suld In derogation of the Castor
and Pollux of furniture, they nil a long
felt want in farce. Once upon n time,
when a young husband stayed out of his
own bed nil night, he got Into innocent
trouble. .ow ho enn get into some

FISKE O'HARA AT WALNUT
Irish Tenor Singa New Songs in New
Drama, "Kilkenny"
Flscke O'Hnra, with a new array of
"catchy" Irish songs, appealed to ad
vantage at the Walnut In his latest suc
cess "Kilkenny," written bv Augustus
Pltou. Sr. The play is of the romantic
Irish type which hus always been a suit
able vehicle for Mr. O'Hara. There Is
very little plot, but what there Is, holds
the 'attention of tho audience with Its
clean humor, nnd Mr. O'Hara's songs.
The action takes place In Kilkenny, the
same place whero the cats come from.
In 1310 during carnival time. The story
concerns the love affairs of lllchurd
Desmond and Molna Carroll who have
been giving amateur "theatricals" for
charity. Moinu's guardian wishes her to
marry Maurice I.evlne, but this Is not to
be. The play ends with the hero und
heroine marrying, a lost duushter re
v united to her family, and the vllllan
forced to leave the "ould sod "
Tho part of Illchard was portrayed by
flake O'ilara, while Anna Hamilton made
a pleasing Molna. Wiliinm t xfn,...
was seen an Maurice I.evine, Desmond's
enemy and rival for the hand or Molna.
Miss Marie Qulnn, who In private life
U Mrs. Flake O'llaru. us Kitty O'Toole,
kept the audience laughing by the clever
manner In which she handled her bash
ful naval lieutenant. Oood character
acting was furnished by J. p. Sulllvun as
Martnln O'Toole. Others who contributed
to the success of the piece were Adelaide
Matthews, Male Bloodgood. J, B. Miller.
Henry Duffy and Eliza Mason.
Mr. O'ilara used his pleasing tenor
voice to advantage throughout the piece,
and during the three acts Introduced
several songs. "Contrary Mary CUry"
proved to be the most popular, although
4rsjaiiu is jreiana to ale" and "Dear
Mather Mine" had to be encored.
Keith's
If you know a clerk In a drugstore
who recites the "Gladiator" at tho annual
church entortalnment, leave him alone.
And If you have a relutivo whom you
dearly love, don't tel him ho has talent
because he can walk like lMdie l-'oy and
play lagtlnie.
Take- heed from lhi cxpeilences of
Alexander, lie was working happily In a
I Ivor' stable at ecn per and always had
enough to buy ham nnd liennp for his
best girl after the show, nnd he wore
clothes that brought everybody to tho
front door when he passed but now nil Is
changed. It you want to know the end of
the story you'll have to see Mclntyro nnd
Jleath at Keith's till week. They ex
plain fully how talent Is often a curse In
disguise In the cnuie erf tli'Mr famous
sketch, "The (lenrgla MlustreK" They
were given a warm welcome and their re
turn to vaudeville will no doubt bring ttiein
a golden reward.
Th,y present the down and out darky as
you usually find him with his frowns. Ida
whims and his superstitions. And Its
because they get light down to the root of
things that tho laughs come ccmsuutlv.
The sketch appears to be somewhat elab
orated upon. It is "chuck" full of lomedy
and overflowing nnd tho stars, who havo
deserted musical comedy for u time, scored
a triumph.
In all fairness It must be said, how
ever, that Homer U. Mason and Mar
guerite Kceler In their one-act play,
"Married," won as irnny laughs ns the
stars. This sketch, which has beon ic
vlewed Ujfore In these columns, contains
tho nucleus of a three-act comedy. It
repeated Its former success and churned
the house Into an uprc'.i'.
-Memories or tlio Southland were le
Vlved by Itnlph Dunbar's Mnryland Sing
ers, including Trlx Oliver, JIorteMiso
Morchart. MnrJorle Xeihercut, l.orna
Jackson and Charles Krlnk, nn exception
ally clever lianjoli.t. This Is one of the
classiest musical acts seen ut Keith's
this season and It received a most cordial
reception. JoJsle Ilcvither, iin English
comedienne, assisted by William Casey,
Jr., and Bobble Heather, repeated her
former success.
Frank Orth and William J. Iiooley, a
new vaudeville cumblnat'on, made their
tlrst appearance as partners In their old
home town nnd pleased emphatically In
"A Hard Hpot."
Good acts wero also offeied by th Ilve

Gallagher and Irene Martin In songs and
dances, and Palfrey. Hall and Brown In

CLEVER FILM COMEDY
IN NEW FOX FEATURE
"Merely Wary Ann," With
Vivian Martin, Sparkling Bit
of Screen Fun
By the Photoplay Editor
Tlie Evening ldaer reviews the prln

Far back, nbout 1D05 or 1S0, Kleanor
llobson. charming comedienne, put us
all In a most excellent humor and made
many warm rrlends by her delightful
"Mary Ann" In the "Merely" play of thnt
name.
The story was one of the sweet, sympa
thetic nnd sentimental style which so
wins the hearts of the many estimable
ladles who attend matinees with great
legularlty. Why Bhould we speak more
of It? Tho poor. Innocent. Ilttlo heroine
suffered much, but nit was happy In tho
end. "Sufficiency," to quote Sain Bernard.
"Morcly Mary Ann ' Is now with us on
the screen, with that delightful little
person, Vivian Martin, as our little hero
ine, She Is uulte as charming ns Kleanor
itobson was before her, and much more
OUtllfut.
She makes Mary a much moro "glad"
person than Pollynnnn, n much happier
one than tho Ilttlo girl In "Daddy Long
Legs." And, withal, sho Is both natural
nnd merry, something ono cannot say
ror those other disciples of "I should
worry."
The picture Is excellently directed
throughout nnd tho photography clear.
While the main appeal Is ono of senti
ment nnd pathos, theic Is plenty of action
throughout the picture. Tho light be
tween the gentlemanl hero and the
rather ungentlemnnly vllllnn Is one of
the most rough-and-tumble nffalis pos

this delightful comedy ono Is forced to
see tho versatility of this company's
work.

Bare feet a la Lady Constance Blchard

modest Knickerbocker Theatre last night
with the opening of "The Trail of the
Lonesome I'lne." with Eleanor Moutell In
the leading role. As for the play Itself,
It sot a bad start owing to Frank Elliott's
tendency to forget his lines. Miss Montell
saved the day in the flrBt act, though, by
prompting him herself. Later on Elliott
rei-ovared himself and the play moved
with ease that is characteristic of the
Knickerbocker productions. A thing that
should be remedied in the management of
"" ne. me nnicaeroocKer is the late
ness in starting and the long waits be.

night before the last act was started

complaint if It Is not remedied.

The "fral mailing" season at the Uni

year, but do not until that badBo or
humility becomes nn nsset.
The "rushing" of n man by a fraternlt
Is the urging of him to pledge himself tit
Join that fraternity If he should be
deemed worthy, after n period of proba
tion. This "rushing" begnn yesterday
immediately utter chapel, at which
Provost Smith had urged the first-year
men lo accept the Invitations many of
them would receive.
Tho ngrecment entered Into between
tho fraternities, not to "rush" men until
after tho midyear examinations, which
closed last Friday, Is said to be produc
tive of good results.
In tho first place those students who
come to college for unworthy reasons,
and who do not study, but take moro In
terest In athletics thnn In anything else,
nro eliminated by the midyears, which,
under the new rule, become n provlng
ground for would-bo frnt members.
Another beneut Is that class spirit Is
fostered by withholding Invitations to the
frats until late In tho college year,
Aernln the fraternities keep a closo
watch on the scholastic standing of their
members.
The ngreement between the fraternities
was mado by the Inlerfratcrnlty Council.
Fraternities that break the rules of this
council nre fined. Of tho thousand mem
bcrs In tho freshman class, about noo are
Invited to 'join frats. Piovost Smith was
asked today If. considering ills high re
gard for the value of fraternities, ho did
not think this was a rather small num
ber of men to receive the benents of fra
ternity life, Ho replied:
"Tho frnterrtltlos want men to do some
thing for the I'nlvorslty, nnd those who
really do something receive recognition.
The fact thnt only a limited number nre
Invited forms nn Incentive to tho fresh
men to do something worm wniic,
whether In scholnrshlp, athletics or the

ST. I.OL'IS. Feb. 8,-"Tho Demociats
nre looking for it hnid fight in tlie coming
I'lesiilentliil campaign, but AVoodrow AVII
sou enn bent nny candidate the ncpulill
tans put up," declared AVIIIIam F. Mc
Combs, choliman of the Democratic Na
tiniial Committee, today. The Subcom
mittee on Arrangements was perfecting
plans for the Democratic National Con
vention in June.
'McCombs predicts that the Republican
and Progressive parties will be reunited
and will support one candidate at the
coming election.
"That will mean wo will have tn Unht
the combined strength of tho two pnttlos,
but President Wilson is strong enough to
beat the combination," said McCombs.
"President Wilton's strength has In
ciensed greatly liv Ills imir in iii v.w
j and Congress will back him up in his pre-
i,ui ruut-as piuKram.
"AVhen we go Into the convention to
nominate a President tho passage of tho
hill for national defense and the passing
of u tariff commission bill willbe history.
Uy that tlmo the Lusltanla controversy
will bo settled. In my opinion, and with
the fine record the party has ulready made
In tariff rcvion. In the establishment or
the Federal reserve bank system and In
other legislation, we .should have a record
which aiiouiu wunstanu any ouslauglit of
tho opposition."
Mr McCombs also asserted that Hryan's
position ono way or the other would have
no effect on the next campaign.
Up to noon today tho committee had
held only Informal conferences, but ex
pected to complete Its work by tonight or
tomorrow.
