Show THE CITIZEN 10 With The First Nighters Under the Apple Tree Is what is technically known in vaudeville as a girl show, with emphasis on the snow. One of the girls in this show attempts to rival Eve under the apple tree and almost succeeds. When the publicity agent tries to make capital out of sucn an exhibition he calls it daring.. When an Anthony Comstock objects he calls the police. And when the average man or woman of a are l'airly normal outlook object they at a loss for words. It is apparent that girl shows are becoming progressively more daring. Even Paris has voiced a protest against daring nudity which, in that land of artists, is usually condoned our own by the canons of art. In land, where there is a strange mingwithling of the Furitan and the rake, out the saving influence of citistic ieeling, in a large part of our poputo lation, we do not know whether take reiuge in a cheap snicker or to assume the role of virtuous indignation. In either pose we look ridiculous, except to the church folk, who But even do not go to vaudeville. among those who are accustomed to the daring of vaudeville there is a limit beyond which toleratiou slops. Aside from that Under the Apple Tree is all right except for what is advertised boastingly as the book. The book is as disapointing as some of those books on the races which are made for private circulation The humor of our grandfathers is very well presented in this book with, here and there, a gay quip of the later nineteenth century. Having thus revealed the suppressed enthusiasm of our whole bei-- g for this musical skit, we proceed. Bob Carlton is the author of that seductive jazz melody known as Ja Da, but the best thing about him is Julia Ballew, his cute and piqaint partner. Not that Bob is a bad fellow, you know., but he is neither cute nor piquaint, whereas his partner has a surplus of these qualities. She is a jazz girl and a real jazz girl by saycan win more plaudits Ja Da or bah, bah, ing merely than can a whole flock of grand opera stars singing mad songs from Hamlet. Which reminds one that there was a substitute act on the first night. The Bryants being ill, a certain Spanish professor with a lions mane, performed on the piano and made a speech about jazz. He roasted it to a turn and by this means made a place for himself among the vaudevillians. And he proved to be a pianist of rare accomplishments.

To repeat the saying that truth is stranger than fiction is rather bro-midi-c, but when famous writers confess, as they sometimes do, that they get their best plots out of the daily newspapers, one is compelled to admit that the old saying may be correct, after all. There is a scene in The Soul of Youth, now being shown at the Kin-em- a theatre in this city, which illustrates this fact. The scene shows a young mother making a bargain with another woman for her unborn child, which she agrees to turn over to the purchaser as soon as it is born. When this episode was flashed on the screen at the Monday performance of the film, a woman in the audience indignantly said in tones loud enough to be heard all over the house, I dont believe any woman alive would sell her baby! and there were excited murmurs all over the house to prove that the scene .had made a deep impression on all who witnessed it The Soul of Youth is a delightful story of boyhood life, different from any picture which has been produced.
