"Fair and Warmer" it a' simon
' pure farce, in which the author
, takes the kipd of material he knows
-best how to handle and puts i
through all its paces. Two admi
rable younj people, find that their
respective man partners have
. been leading lives more say than
. creditable while the domestic mem-J
hers of the family stayed meekly at
. home. To retaliate, the upright pair
decide on some wickedness of their
own. Having no practice in lesser
crime, they greatly overdo it and
find that instead of revenging them
selves, they .have merely let them
selves in for infinitely more than
their original troubl ... -
Nothing more amusing than the
scene in which the inexperienced

ARJORIE BENTLEY, who
will be seen here this wee
at the Brandeis in "La La
Lucille" as Victorine, the' cabaret
dancer, is not the care-free girl off
the stage that she appears behind
the' footlights. The studious in
stincts implanted during her college
days have not deserted her. She
still hearkens to those times when
the thesis to be prepared was the
most important part of the" daily
curriculum. At school she was a
member of a debating society whose
specialties will be introduced by the
Runaway Four, late of the "Head-Over-Heels"
company and others.
The usual New Year's eve watch

tablished feature at the Gayety

of the regular performance starting
at 8:30. The extra show will be

The Temple Four, will provide

Their program embraces late songs
and ballads as well as a list pf o'd
time 'melodies. Another featured act

Evon, the charming violiniste, and
her golden bird, the canary of almost
human intelligence. The children
have a real treat ahead. ,Gus Thal
ero's circus, considered thepeediect
animal act in vaudeville, wil provide
the stellar act of the bill. Grace De
Winters has acquired the art of ven
triloquism, and in addition she of
fers imitations oMamous artists.

management of the Boyd theater to
the effect that the Walter Hast
Amustment company will present
Scandal, the' sensational comedy
success, at that playhouse on Sun
day for the week of January 4.
At the Orpheum the first show
of 1920 will be headed by Henry
Santrey 'and his famous society
jazz band. Patrons are reminded
that on Wednesday " night, New
Year's eve, there will. (be two per
formances, the first starting at :30
and the second at 10:10, The show
which opens with the matinee this
afternoon is likely to convince peo-
pie that Mr. Santrey and his in
strumentalists are among the lead
ers in acrobatic music. It is not
often that a real vocalist lends him
self to jazz; hence, Mr. Santrey,
who comes heading his own hilari
ous organization, should prove a
decided novelty. A featured act of
the bill is to be the comedy, "The
Man Hunt," written by Harlan
Thompson. The chief character is
a girj who walks in her sleep, by
Isolde Illian. Ben and. Hazel Maun
appear in a collection of amusing
antics called "Nonsensical Nonenti
ties." Frank Marion and Dan Maley
offer an Italian character skit called
"Push 'Em Up." Capable as singers
and dancers, Flo and Ollie Walters
are', ".attractive vand exceptionally
gifted. Van and Belle are expert
boomerang throwers. "A Quiet
Evening" is a pantomine comedy

Story of the Play
ARSENE LUPIN (David Powell), the
famous French master-crook, supposed
by the world to be dead, is in reality living
as a respectable gentleman in a suburban
town in America. He is summoned by his
old millionaire friend, Henry Forbes, who
is obsessed by the idea that he is to be mur
dered that evening. Forbes' mind has been
poisoned by Doctor Varney, who is attend
ing him, against his wife, Marie. Varney has
warned him falsely that Marie is carrying
on an affair with Gordon Savage, a friend
of the family, and that the two plan to get
rid of the old man for his money. Upon
Varney's advice, Forbes changes his will
so that Florence (Marguerite Courtot), the
missing daughter of his dead sister, will
inherit his fortune. Florence is now Var
ney's ward, not knowing her relationship
to Forbes. The doctor succeeds in getting
her Installed as the millionaire's secretary.
While Arson Lupin and his friend,
Mazeroux, are guarding Forbes that night
he is mysteriously murdered. Teeth marks
on an apple in the room where he sat im
plicated his wife, Marie, but Arsene thinks
her innocent and determines to find ithe
real murderer. He is aided by Florence
and through her establishes the innocence
of Gordon Savage, though Lupin at first
suspects him. The ex-crook is himself
hunted by Jabot, a famous French detective
who has come over to America on the news
that Arsene Lupin is there. Thus Lupin's
task is made more severe.
On the day that Forbes' will is to be read
Lupin is arrested, but declares that the
real murderer will appear at the hour the
disposition of the inheritance is announced.
Doctor Varney sends Florence to the
lawyer's office to represent him, and she
is seized by the police. However, she and
Lupin escape and succeed in reaching the
Forbes' house. Here Lupin finds Varney
and evidence that he is the murderer. The
two fight a battle, and the doctor attempts
to blow up the house with dynamite. Lupin
foils the effort and, ambushing Varney,
hands him over the detectives. Thus the
real criminal is discovered, and later Lupin
finds that his sympathy with Florence's
plight has ripened into love.

The Gayety theater offers as its
attraction for New .Year's week,
Messrs. Drew and Campbell's "Lib
erty Girls, an organziation whose
musical farcial entertainments have
for years been considered the height
in extravagant ftrri. The company
stars Jack Conway, supporting
whom are James J. Collins, Vic
Plant, Harold ' Boyd, Thomas
Brien, James Oliver, Joseph Dunn
O'Brien, James Oliver, Joseph Dunn,
Miss Monica Redmond, Miss Helen
Stuart and Pauline Harer.- "Manless
Isle" written by Jack Conway, has
something like a connected story
with characters well drawn and
diversified. Incidental to the show
deliberations had to do with the se
rious problems of civic life. ' There
were no dissertations on the fancies
and frills of femininity, nothing but
serious matters were brought up for
discussion. The society was rather
peculiar in that while its members
were girls in their advanced teens,
none of them wtre of the kind that
gave promise of developing into the
short-haired class of orators so
prevalent nowadays, who delight in
discoursing on eugenics and the
direful results of wearing this or
that. All topics of that nature were
banned. Anything pertaining to
civic 1 or national government, or
economics would receive the closest
attention. ,
Miss Bentley says she does not
agree wholly with the resolution in
troduced into congress last week by
the representative from California,
who urged the teaching of bolshe
vism in the schools, so that the chil
dren may be acquainted with its hor
rors and dangers. She. asserts by
teaching it many seeds of discontent
will be implanted that cannot be up
rooted when the young mind devel
ops. That is the wrong kind of
teaching. The only way its dangers
should be exposed to the tyro mind
is by application of its methods.
Miss Bentley says the doctor to
controvert the action of poison gives
poison. He does not give it in sac
charine disguise; he uses the rectic
method. So why not use socialistic
methods to cure socialism?' As an
illustration of the efficacy of the
latter method, she narrates the ex
perience of her teacher room-mate.
This teacher is assigned to a
school down on the lower East Side
of New York City, where the pupils,
are the offspring of foreigners who
are socialists to the nth degree.
These children live and breathe the
atmosphere of socialism. They hear
it while eating and they eagerly
drink it in. They have all the fa-
