His analysis of character is ac mirate. his locic sound , and his daring 5L arraignments of social conditions are but' reflections ot nis personal .tnuiK onlsm to prosaic conventions and obso lete observances. He never dims his lens while turning the searchlight on to tills characters He exposes the frailties of women and the Indiscretions of men. Ho treats Innocence lth sym pathetic reverence and boldly discloses profligacy with intrepidity His satire is brilliant, his wit scintillating. He Is fundamentally soun.d In his principles ' He Is French to the core; in precision compactness and directness ; and his plays disclose that he Is a past master In the art of writing Intimate and con- , Ylnclng dialogue Lavedan Is not an Idealist ; ho is human and real.

Do they belong to the P. AV. G's, or are they lling and 'working In a much higher occupation and thereby excluded from the benefits to be derived from organized women unions? Officials of the movement for the or ganization of the women workers of the country will be called upon to make a decision In this very Important mat ter. Tho Issue has been raised by the chorus girls of "The Melting of Molly ' company "It looks as though girls of the btage are neither fowl nor fish. Managers don't recognize ua as artists and women -j girls don't consider us in the working class, Gladys Miller, as the npokes man for the chorus girls, told tho Play goer. "We girls are going to hao our status settled once and for all " Going hack to Miss Miller's zoology of chorus girls, we have heard some called poor fish and others chickens TTAUDEVILLIAN'S might rightly be V termed as wandering minstrels be jause a majority of them cannot claim n, legal residence for voting since their occupation necessitates moving from ;i city to city almost weekly Unlike the player with an attraction which has the good fortune to remain in a citv for an extenslvo engagement, these thesplana must literally live In their trunk, which is homo to them Any railroad station In any big city on a Saturday night will be a fruitful place , ,to find the headline actor or actress 6t the vaudeville program which Just nded.

"While we folk In Philadelphia do not have an opportunity to see many vaudevillinns off of the stage, the New Yorker knows his players and welcomes them with their every appearance. The "vaudevllllan claims New York as his .home, although in reality he has no place of real abode. To many thesplans . club Is the one real homelike place Vhere ho goes.
