The Nixon opened its season last night with -'The Girl in the Taxi" as the attraction, and a large audience waa present to enjoy what was -expected to be a spicy ottering, to say the least. The audience was disappointed in that the spice evidently had been lost in the translation ML mm from the french to Knglisli and the long change of scene from Paris to New York. 1 The laree, -which in the French, might) Buy the BEST you can afford at MELLORS.

We do .7 v'ww not commissions and we nights out for the foundation on which to hang its lines and situations. There are the usual getting into compromising sit- i uations, with their narrow escapes, the usual cafe "scene, the silly- explanations and absurdities that bring the farce to a close, all of which can be seen any day in any mediocre offering on 'the "ten- i twent-thirt" circuit "The CJirl In the Taxi," has to do with the gay propensities of a banker, his son, his nephew' and a pertume manufacturer, together with the latter' wife, who is the girl in the taxi.

The company is a capable one and gets -ail out of the farce there is in i it, keeping the audience in a laughing mood all the time. Pearl Sindelar plays the part of the girl in the taxi, and in ravisning gowns gives her best talent to make the distaste- ful part at least amusing. George Rich- ards plays her husband and in good in every way. Harry Hanton plays the banker, and plays it well, as does Rich- ard Bartlett the part of the nephew, 25 "one-of-a-kind" Extension Tables 125 "one-oi-a-kind" Buffets and Sideboards 200 "one-to-6-of-a-kind" Dining Chairs 75 "one-of-a-kind" Iron and Brass Beds 60 "onerQf-a-kmd" Bedroom Suits 60 "one-of a kind" Dressers and Chiffoniers 475 pieces of "Mission" -Den Furniture 4C 3-and-5 piece Parlor Suits employ no outside salesmen or solicitors.
