to our summer entertainment. The in- '

expansion nf war industries, and the
restraints of foreign travel which will I
swell the list of stay-at-homes give a1
new stability to the theatrical clientele
Cognizance of Uicse conditions has been
taken in tho plans to Install "Oh, Boy"'
on Monday in tho Chestnut Street Opera
House for an extended run Ttie worth
of that offering has been attested. "See
You Later" has not yet acquired its
authoritative form, for the piece, as do
all new musical comedies, mu't undergo
the progress of "ironing out."
Happily not a great deal of revision1
is exigent. The production is now
blessed with one of the brightest farci
cal books which the fecund Guy Bolton I
has written. The equally indefatigable
Mr. Wodehouse has furnished some
breezy lyrica, and Messrs. Schwartz and i
Peters have submitted a melodious and
daintily orchestrated score. '
On the male side the piece Is btrong

Scotchman is a sheer delight, and capi

by John Daly Murphy, Charles Buggies, j
Herbert Gorthell. Jed Prouty and Jamea

I heir day and are forgotten with the
single exception of that grand old drama
of wholesome appeal, the legitimate
drama ; that is to be the drama that
will always live. For It is a part of
the education given to the rising gen.
eratlon, and no well-bred man or worn
an feels that his or her -iducatlon Is
complete without a knowledge of the
great minds that laid the substratum
upon which the foundation of the stage
was permanently established,
"But we are not operating under nor
mal conditions now, Thorefoie, I pre
sume, America will pass through the
various stages of depression, apathy
and solitude that characterized the first
years of the world war in Kuropc.
before we settle down to the conven
tional amusements ot yesterday. It
therefore behooves u:i all to labor as
siduously and loyally In keeping pa
triotism, courage and fortitude ever he

H'At-n Madelon takes our orders at the tatrie
And, swishtnp bv the kegs, flips dainty skirts,
M'u try to gain her car and if we're able
l Breathe love; since in apportioning deserts
To all who give the lai tlieir fund cmbruces
She's not severe, not yet too hard upon
A elasp of trafjf, but beams at all our faces

At home awaiting us there Is a maiden
And maybe uc shall marry her some uay.
Rut while the land is reft and battle-laden
That lady love is very far away.
Who knows where we'll be when it's cndcdT
And we sigh as we rpuut the long years,
And the sweet things that wo have intended

An echo of home when a kiss toas our wont,
A corporal, whose manners were capricious
Found Madelon one morning at her stand.
He told hei that he thouglit her quite delicious
And made a boastful offer for Iter hand.
The girl laughing loud at his folly
Made the point that she'd ne'er, be content
With merely one swain 'ftoaj too jolly
To be wooed by the whole regiment!
Adding, "Give bock my hand! Tlie boys of tho line '
