A success that promises to. equal
that of 'KismetV c
. "Sancho Panza" tells- the mer
ry story of a goat '.herd and his
donkey who are suddenly thrust
into power and become the rulers
of a Spanish city. Dapple, the
donkey shares honors in the
story and in the play ! with Mr.
Skinner himself. Dapple Is not a
real animal, but is impersonated
by an actor, and. so cleverly . is
this done that this unusual npv?
elty has become the talk of
theatre - goers - wherever" the play
has appeared. - The Spanish,. at
mosphere'; gives an unusual opportunity-
for gorgeous coloring
and lighting, and no dramatic
production in years has presented
such . vivid stage pictures. - It
might be , mentioned that . the
scenes and costumes were de
signed t by James Reynolds who
is responsible for the beautiful
settings of the famous Ziegf ieid
!'Follies." There is also much
music, , singing and dancing so
that the whole piece borders very
closely ? on : musical comedy. In
fact, Mr. ; Paul Martin, of the
Chicago; Journal of Commerce,
said, "Sancho Panza" is as color
ful as the 'Chauve Souris' and as
lively as the 'Follies.' At no
musical - attraction of the season
has the laughter been so spontaneous."

offerings . of the season. Tom

sensical chatter will cause many
laughs, while Miss Armand will
offer the dancing. Miss, Marvella

with Howard Russell at the piano
will entertain with musical selec

Wild : and Sedalia are a well

Africa Bales Its Locusts
And Ships Them to Holland
Alexandria Egypt, March
l-i. Locusts,.the plague of South
Africa, may yet be found to have
a commercial value. Eighty-eight
bales of .the insects, dried, weigh
ing. 18 towns', were forwarded re
cently from Kazerne to Durban
for shipment to Holland. It is
recalled' here that an oil for use
in airplane engines, which retains
Its liquidity at very high altitudes
can be extracted from locusts, and
that a by-product of the process is
a. food for cattle and poultry.

PARIS, March 1 4 According
to conservative estimates there
are two billion francs in gold coins
hidden - away in the traditional
"old: stocking" of the French
people, and if France had thU
hidden . gold at lis disposal the
country's financial situation would
be distinctly improved. Every
kind of appeal but one has (been
made to induce the holders to let
the state have theirhoarded coins,
and during the war much was re
cuperated under patriotic in
fluences. What remains seems to form an
unaatinable residue as far as the
state, is concerned. ' Every now,
and then, however, cases come
before the- courts wherein people
are condemned for going round
the country buying- up; ,20-franc
Pieces, which . they induce the ,
hoarders to surrender in return
for from 1 40 to 50 francs. Their
real value is more like 70 francs,
but this traffic is illegal and deal
ers in it need high rates of profit.
Jose Thery, a financial writer,
is advising the gtate to - offer
enough paper for gold to bring j
out this two billion. Theoreti
cians, he 'says,, will be shocked at
