Interest is maintained in this show principally through the steady now of fun provided by Em met Anthony, the comedian. Mak ing his first appearance, in the early stages of the show, he is the center of the plot about which the play is built. He reaches his most applauded performance in the final scene with uross, who plays the part of the devil. The show opens with a first class looking chorus, and before the curtain goes down on the first act, we are introduced to a situation in which, a booking company is seeking performers for a review, the name of the Teview being Connie's Inn Re view. The two comedians constitute the booking agency.

Before them come various candidates for the review, each of whom display their wares before the agency con ductors. This gives opportunity for the different stars to make a very clever presentation of their parts. The singing in this scene where the two singers offer a demonstra tion of their talent, is exceptionally good, especially that of Emmet An thony, who draws a great deal of ap plause. Alta Oates. blues sinsrer.

Baby Lee, a soubrette, and Jennie Dancy, another blues singer, perform cred itable parts at various stages in the course of the play. Especial comment of the good ap pearance of the chorus is needed.

Samuel Cary of DenverJ one of the most prominent race attorneys in Colora was disbarred by the Colorado supreme court, Monday, for professional misconduct. The high court held that he had been guilty of neglecting the inter ests of clients, of misrepresenting the status of cases to get additional fees, and of negligently permitting defaults in cases. In approving the findings of the referee who recommended the dis barment of Cary, the high court said: HA11 these findsings were supported by the overwhelming weight of evidence. In the light of such a record, the law justifies and de mands disbarment." Cary's disbarment was first asked by the Colorado. Bar association.

The supreme court then appointed an attorney to act as referee; Cary defenued himself, and the oar association was represented by At torneys Samuel S. Ginsberg and Humphreys. The charges were filed officially by the attorney general in pursuance to instructions from the supreme court. Convicted of Murder But He's Not Hanged SHREVEPORT, Dec. 30 (By A.
