Into the recent unpleasantness with
both feet. There is a nice naturalness
ibout the proceedings and the person

and the other agreeably engaging. Miss

Jazz; for all the world like picking h
-horus for a musical comedy except for
the gender. , ,
The revue has as many airs, duets
and concerted numbers as an old-fashioned
Italian opera, which it resem
bles also in conseeutiveness and logi
cality of plot and characterization. It
has 'that other merit of old-fashioned
opera, too. of melodies that arc melo
dious. The episodes, lightly, and
'ooselv connected, showed the divert
ing side of the serious job that took
tke A. E. F. to France. Some songs,
"The M. P.," "Aprcs la Ouerro," and
others touched with likable irony vari
ous phases of the war. Then there were
Fome of romance and sentiment, such
is "Somewhere in America" and
"Pongs We Sang." The comedy was
always sprightly and often richly hu
morous. At some of the rkits, notably
the flirtation scene in the Faris park,
there was a noticeably basso or bari
tone quality to the laughter, but what
railed it forth, though intimate, was
not indelicate, and most of the jokes
could be enjoyed understanding!)' by
those who laugh soprano or alto. The
iigh and novel level of humor may be
Judged by the fact that there was no
icratching for even one cootie wheeze.
Miss Jnnls, merry us a g.rig in her
fongs and patter and graceful as a
gazelle in her dancing, was a strong
competitor for honors with her "gang,"
which almost ran nway with her show
when she wasn't .running nwny with
it herself, ,,Far bethe decision from us.
Even the attitude of the audience gave
no guidance; it n'pplauded everything
lapturously and deservedly.

"BEN HUR" REVIVED
Forrest Stage Holds Wholly New
Production
Klaw & Erlanger's new production of
Ocnernl Lew Wallace's "I5cu Ilur,"
perhaps! the most successful play and
production in the history of the theatre,
returned last night to the spacious stage
ol the Forrest, one of the few large
enoMgh to display its masMvcncss to the
full. This remarkable drama, now in
its twenty-first jenr, has "been wit
nessed by thousands, many of whom go
to no other theatrical entertainments.
Everything this jear is new and on the
tame broad scale as the original pro
duction. A drama like "Ren Ilur," preaches
? sermon of religion and civilization. It
wan eloquent missionary nt n time when
tne world most needs guidance. The
novel on which it is based had the in
dorsement of Pope Leo XIII, and the
Play itself has been recommended from
He pulpits of every denomination. No
wene more spectacular than the cele
brated chariot race in "Hen Ilur" has
wen staged, and in the new production
'lis as well as other familiar features
"re shown on an elaborate scale. Knur
cnanots and twenty horses arc used in
e race, and no fewer than 350 peo
ple are employed in the entire play.

NEW KUMMER PLAY
HAS SPARKLING LINES
"Rollo's Wild Oat" Pleases
Audience- at Philadelphia
Theatre by Its Cleverness
That the quality nnd not tho qurin
tit)' o wlid oats sown by young men
have the greater consequences was
proved conclusively Inst night at the
Philadelphia Theatre. Only one' wild
oat was sown in Clnro Kuinmer's lat
ent playwrighting effort, but that one
was enough to form the basis of n three
act comedy of parts, containing much
of the accustomed Kumincriuu sparkle.
"Rollo's Wild Oat" should sprout
and grow with the passing days. The
seed is planted in rich soil. but. as yet.
is choked by weeds .in tflc shape of
yards and yards of superfluous tnlky
talk. Seven scenes, with -long waits
between, fostered the slow tempo of the
opening night, and a show1 ocr three
hours in length was the result.
In its present state, "Rollo's Wild
Oat ,s not p lo tIlc standard set by
Good Gracious, Annnbelle," by the
same author, but in its dialogue it is
well up to. if not nhend of, the other
plays which have made Miss Kunimer
so successful n figure ns a playwright.
The plot is clever, but inclined to be
awkward on account of the various
scenes necessitated. "Hamlet" figures
largely in the telling of the story, for
it Is the character of the "Melancholy
Dane" that Rollo, played 'by Roland
Young, desires to eunct upon the
boards. One scene, indeed (and per
haps the cleverest in its originality of
the whole play), is laid upon the stage
(luring u performance of "Hamlet,"
with scenery cry similar to, that cm
ployed by Walter Hampden when he
was last here.
Of all the characters, the audience
appeared to take elotfst to its heart
Miss Lotus Uobb as Goldle MacDuff,
the charming heroine. Miss 'Robh's
portrayal was one of the most' fetching
and sympathetic played here this sen
son, nnd she had her work cut out for
her with n trying pnrf. Roland Young,
the featured player, slightly resembling
Grant Mitchell In stylo of acting, did
not seem to have quite entered Into the
spirit of bis role last night, but his
"Hamlet." scenes were delightfully ex
ecuted. Cecil Yapp deserves special
commendntinn for his work ns tho in
valid grandfather, who wanted to have
his grandson go into business perfect
ing airbrakes, not to net.
A word for the attractive nnd un
usual scenery i due to the Selw)iis.
who put on "Rollo's Wild Oat." Sim
plicity, taste nnd origiuniiiy innrhcu

.ludiciouH pruning of superfliilties'and
settling of some of the interpieters in
their parts will produce a fine harvest
of oats for all concerned with Its pro
duction. BURLESQUE BILLS

New Models today, perhaps
will satisfy people of good
taste as long as the car lasts.
THE Packard car is designed
to last as long as fine
workmanship, sound engineer
ing and the highest grade of
materials can make it.
And that is why Packards
are always " new models."
And why the Packard own

from sudden changes of
"fashion," dictated by some one
over whom he has no control.
