And now comes the new musical lay with an airy, topical title of -September .Mom," a cute, lively iry that fairly convulses the auui t i.ee as every Lit of crisp, w itty dia kgue an. I laughable situations are rrt sented. and one finds his or her .-elf humming or whistlin.tr the jingly jr.es after the catch music is reeled off by the harmonious voices of the augmented chorus and feature sonars of the principal-;. The story roes with a hurrah, as Rudolph Plastric, a vould-be artist, who claims to have fainted the celebrated Chaba's pic ture called "September Morn" (but in icaiity cannot paint the side of a n and do it wt'.I), continues to get himself in tight places. . Leo Green wood, the comedian of real, entertain i r method.-, has the role of Rudolph, ; r.d his antics go with a scream. An ;.clicss claims to be the original r.i 'del of the popular picture and she i i.-t:-uots her publicity promoter to 1 tr. t her as the leal "September Morn," who was r.ot afiaid to bathe i-i the open or the lake or whatever ii was. The dodging of Rudolph an 1 the act re-, both knowing they are in.po-t'!.;. creates no end of jovial Ih.e avd situation. A bluff army of-:l-.-er also gets mixed up in the af fairs of the lady thespian, in fact, falls in love with her. only to find that she is his wife's ilea rest friend. Thi-. and the inn. nr-ei able other com- '.ications keen tho-e in front of the footll-rhts just howling with genuine ".. light. The .-tory is funny through out.

The girls then surround ed their object of love and tossing iheir linen tokens at her, which came from above in some mysterious way. At ' o'clock they all participated in a dainty luncheon.
