In one sense ,-rr-but in no other I am a Celtic cupid for I am ever, seeking to shoot an emotional arrow straight .into the Irish heart. No. archer tqould possibly desire' an easier target.

This Play Made-of " Three Good Stories The dramatic playlet f in vaude ville today is being regarded 'serious ly and analyzed minutely by literary critics as well as discriminating thea- er-goers. On the Orpheum stage, Imost any week, there will be found a contribution in the form of a dra matic playlet, which, while some may only regard it as passing entertain ment, is very often, in factj.rftpst gen-, erally capital material., ror debate among contemporary writers and lit erary critics. I The vaudeville playlet today, Or pheumly speaking, is not booked for the sole reason to furnish an act Jo complete a vaudeville bill. Its pur pose is to furnish food for thought as fvell as to amuse. The skit that en tertains and at the same time leaves an impression 'or one that advances discussion, is considered ' the ideal Vaudeville sketch. ' ';' . t For instance, in "Highlowbrow," Which ' is ' comingr.to- the; Orpheum this weekthere are all sorts of angles that furnish avenues for discussion, as to how a different writer would have treated the same subject, or how it Is received by the "highbrow" or the ''lowbrow," and its effect upon its audiences. In the short time this playlet, which is the work, of S. Jay Kaufman, has been on the Orpheum Circuit it has seldom missed a week being discussed by literary and dra matic critics from a technical view-. int and it has been given flattering ce on editorial pages of our best wspapers. 1-rom the editorial page of a Washington paper recently, the following is taken: -S "The art condensatory of the art of .condensation is shown at the Or pheum this week. Little stories- by .De Mafipassant, Dunsany and .0. .Henry, each of which would . take about IS minutes in the reading of the text, and each aTnocleof literary brevity,; are, depicted in ari ,aggreT gate running time of about three min utesfull pointed and witjirno; sacri fice of dramatic values.' - "It's a sharp illustration of, the superfluity .'of words. vThe mad Frenchman, "the fanciful Ceflt'arid the quick-witted American' didn't i use many to tell their tales; but the folks in the Orpheum skit get along with even less.

I An American women, while trav eling in China several years ago, purchased for tTie eauivalent of $2 a worn-looking necklace of green beads,, which attracted'-her because of the oddness of its' clasp. When she returned tot America, leading jewelers offered her first $5,000 and finally $20,000 for it. , The following amazing reason for"its great value was advanced: The necklace, which proved to be genuine jade, was. the original neck DANCING and REFRESHMENTS Every v evening' and Sunday Matinee.
