AND LIGHTS DAZZLE HIM
. 'It's all bo cr chic."
1 In this manner did Captain Biuro
Bairnsfather, the 'creator of "Old Hill"
In his famous wa cartoons describes
VtS.
And he rq.cant what he said, too Tie
found this country a 'toppinK fine "ole"
,m previous visits, and he vva anxious
to come over and see us ngnin.
And these are n few of the thine,
that combine to make us "chic" in the
estimation of the soldier-artist.

Our musical comedies.
v Our electric lights
Our movies.
' Our little "nftcr-thc-show uppers.
! And some more of our pretty girls.
One Fly tu tlio Ointment
Captain Bairnsfather has found one
fly In the ointment of his pleasinc at
being -with us nRain. Couci&cly put,
that fly is prohibition
The captain as ven frank to say
that he did not like. our newest amend
ment. ".Between vou and me," be confided,
,"I dm already IooUiuk foiward iu anti
ous anticipation to the day I reach
Liverpool and my first whisky and soda
3a a very dry stretch of weeks. Don't
you think it will come back here?" lie
added wistfully, referring to the banned
King- Alcohol, nud be seemed to wish
devoutly it would for our own sakes.
Captain Bairnsfather sajs our gills
are a little bit of all right, first class
nnd all that sort of thing.
Of course, he did not wish to make
any comparisons, but he was very bin
cere in his appreciation of the fair
sci in this country, including thc.oues
be saw last night on his rush from
Broad Street Station to the Aeadem of
Music, where he spoke, and again when
he enjojed a "bit of a supper' after
his lecture
Regrets Absent o of Time
One of the real regrets of the cap
tain's present trip to this country is
that a full schedule for a brief stay
he returns to England the first week of
February will prevent his enjoying
any of the newest revues and roof gar
den shows and musical comedies at
present on diplav in New York. lie
frankly admits to liking them a lot.
. "They really capnot be surpassed,"
he declared "We have nothing like
them in London, and even Paris must
bow' to you over here We don't know
What a real musical show is. Produc
tion, lighting, costumes, everything
that goes to make up the radiant total
effect, arc only to be found at their best
In America. Positively ripping'"
And speaking of lighting, Captain
Bairnsfather t-eemed particularly im
pressed with that feature oer here.
"How do you do it?" be a4ed
"Why last night as T drove up Broad
way to the Pennsylvania station and
ion the way over here to Philadelphia,
land again on Broad street, I kept mar
Veiling at the lights, moving, wiggling,
mikifig all sorts of pictures, flashing on
and ,'ff and on again Why if we had
one of those big electric signs over in
England we'd think it the greatest
thing on earth Over here tbev are
