Something like 200 men sat in the
Heilig Theater last night listening to
"The Quaker Girl" melodies and com
edy, and. not one of them made any
pretense of taking off his headgear.
But then they were privileged charac
ters. They wore the fez of the Mystic
Shrine and were there to honor their
friend. John P. Slocum, of Mecca Tem
ple, New York, who is manager of "The
Quaker Girl" company.
The nobles and their ladies occupied
the front part of the house and numer
ous little personal hits were made to
fit tho occasion, such as quarantining
oue of the principals in the cast just
because Noble George Stapleton was
prevented from attending the perform
ance on. account of some of his children
having mea3les.
The performance was extended be
yond the usual length on aecount of
speeches by the star and replies, and
it was 11:30 o'clock before the fimtl
curtain fell.
