Ahead. The show wai a howling

weed for the audience recked
with laughter through most of the
Acts.
- No one who saw "Tiny" Mc
Namara lead his hobo hand will
forget the figure- he cut- Let It
be added that the act was a truly
original one. Comedy in music
fs not ordinary. Bnt laughs came
furiously as one performer after
Another took up the melody and
twisted it iato his own particular
whim, yet at all tlmea kept har
. mony and rhythm In the numbers
played.
The end men were really amus
ing the chorus was good, "The
. Perkins Family" went oyer much
better than far more pretentious
actsr and the orchestra gave excel

Fortunate Indeed is that por
tion of Der Publlk" which will
see either "Little Accident" at
the EUiaore or "Raffles" at
Bligh's Capitol, and much more
fortunate those who get to see
both of them. 4
Ronald Colmaa Is the master
of screes actors with- the possible
exception of George Arllss, who
perhaps has come to be classed as
a screen actor. Smooth, Intelligent,-
with understanding sym
pathy for his part, in "Raffles,"
Colman plays through the role of
a gentleman crook who wishes to
reform for the love of a woman,
Kay Francis, and whose tempta
tion for theft Is greater than he
can alone withstand.
David Torrence makes a won
derful sciet of Scotland Yard, who
is placed in charge of searching
down a thief in the home of
wealthy Lord Melrose, a part
beautifully played by Frederick
Kerr, and Mrs. Melrose, Just as
interestingly played' by Alison
Skipworth.
John Rogers, as the stupid co
hort of Colman, is also very ex
cellently cast and does superior
acting. In tact, the whole sup
porting cast Is very superior in;
the work done and thus the work
of Colman is made even more
splendid in comparison with good
acting. In my opinion Kay Fran
cis does the least commendable
work of the whole cast,
"Little Accident" at the Elsln-
ore. Is completely opposite In plot
from "Raffles." It Is highly amus
ing and carries a new Idea for
humor. Most of the plot centers
about Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who
learns on the eve of his wedding
that he has become a father, and
the mother of the child is not the
girl whom he is supposed to
marry.
Much of the action is In the
"Ellen Harris maternity hospital
and here in very, very funny dia
logue one learns much, as three
men wait for answers concerning
newly arriving' families. Slim
Summervllle, Henry Armetta and
Fairbanks are the amusing ones
here; later in scenes in Fairbanks
apartment, which has been turn
ed Into a nursery After a most
amusing kidnaping episode has
been enacted," Zasa Pitts brings
down her share of shrlefs of
laughter.
All in all, Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr.. does the beet acting of his
history, la my opinion. In fact, he
does the first really good acting
I have ever seen the young man
do. Heretofore . he seemed to be
coasting -on the family reputation.
In "Little Accident he does some
work on his own account.
Love Notes of
Other Woman in
Divorce Action
In divorce suit tiled yesterday
by Ann M. Conner against Arch

ter of another marriage; that she
found him on - many occasions
driving about the streets of Salem
with other women; and that he
refused to. provide care tor her
when she was ill.
She says he Is permanently em
played at S200 a month and asks
