Clssle Sewell and a number of others
had some good dancing numbers and
the chorus girls were pretty and sane
well. But It seemed odd to see a
good-sized production in the tiny
Punch and Judy! Probably another
case of "Theater, theater; who's got
a theater?"

THREE WOUNDS SURVIVED
Syrian, Shot by Mexican. Bandits,
Makes Remarkable Recovery.
NOG ALES, ARIZ., Dec. 27. One of J
the most remarkable cases handled by
the local surgeons in recent years Is
that of Pedro Jamlt, a Syrian mer
chant of Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico. A
bullet that had been lodged in Jaralt's
back for several months was re
moved recently at a hospital here.
Jamlt was held up and robbed of I
$1800 by bandits. He was shot I
through the head, In the hip and In
the stomach. The first two bullets
came out, while the one that en
tered the stomach was the one re
moved by the surgeons.
After being wounded. Jamlt was
taken into the mountains by the ban
dits. During the 16 days that he re
mained there, he received no medical
treatment, his wounds being washed
with cold water by an ar;ed Mexican
nurse. Through the aid of a Mexican
woman, the Syrian escaped and made
his way to the bordr.
Last year Jamlt was lobbed of
$5000 by bandits.

BY ELIZABETH LONERGAN.
EW YORK, Dec. 27. (Special.)
"Monsieur Beaucalre" brought
memories of Richard Mnasfield
in his once-famous role. The oper
etta came to the New Amsterdam via
London, greatly changed from its
original form yet improved by the
extremely beautiful settings and won
derful music.
Gilbert Miller, well known on the
coast, brought out "Monsieur Beau
calre" In London, where it has been
one of the biggest successes of the
season. The music is some of the best
that has been heard in a long time
quite a relief after the so-called
"operettas" that have been aiven
from time to time (one or two are
still on Broadway).
Mr. Miller brought his original cast
to America, practically intact so there
was the smoothness and finish to the
performance the opening night that
is not usually found on premieres.
Marlon Green is a younger "Beau
calre" than the late Mr. Mansfield,
"but his portrayal is nearly as good
and the rest of the cast Is known
only to those who are familiar with
London theaters.
"Tony" Kelly, whose "Three Paces
East" is a treat in store for Portland
folks this season, was the author of
another drama. "The Phantom Le
gion," which failed to score as heav
ily as Mr. Kelly's first play.
For one thing, the era of war plays
la over and "The Phantom Legion"
deals with a phase of spiritualism.
The souls of three soldiers killed in
battle oome back to comfort their
foster mother at a time when she
needs most their help and sympathy.
The Punch and Judy, which was
dark all last season, had its second
production of the new year the other
night. It was a new musical show.
"Miss Millions," with the songs by
Raymond Hubbell and the production
staged by R. H. Bumslde of the Hip
podrome (Mr. Hubbell was musical
director until the present season
when he branched out as a librettist).
Valll Valll plays the leading part,
that of a waitress in a tea shop. The
nephew of a millionaire falls in love
with her and his businesslike uncle
stakes her to a fortune for a week or
bo, believing that she will grow to
like the money so much that she will
throw down the youth when she finds
that he has no money of his own with
which to keep up these luxuries. Of
course, because it is a play, she would
rather be poor and happy than rich
and loverless, and the uncle gives
them his blessing and his large for
tune. - .
