New York Letter by Lucy Joanne Price NEW YORK, Feb. 4. After two seasons of pseudo Chinese plays, as done by fomantic American eyes, New York is to have a real one; a Chinese drama, written by the Chinese president of a Chinese college, and played by Chinese amateurs. Thirty Columbia university students from that oriental land are to present "Mu Lan." The play, which is written in English, is based on a sixth century Chinese poem. Peng Chun Chang, well-known to American audiences for his lectures on Chinese drama, wrote the play at the request of the Chinese student committee, which is working for relief funds for the native land. After trial performances in New York, the company will make a short tour on the road. The leading cooking authority from the land of leading cooks is in New York City to learn how to can food. Mme. Lucia Devougd, it is, France's chief domestic science expert, and she comes with orders from the French minister of agriculture, to learn all about our canning clubs. She is going on to Washington and then to Florida, and in return for getting the secrets of canned corn and apple butter, she is going to teach the women of the United States show to make French pastry. Again the cry of "Get the hook" is in our cara. The old time amateur nights are with us once again. A decade or more ago, they were a weekly part and sometimes a most exciting part of vaudeville programs. Many an napiring young soprano and clog dancer got their first chance to tread the boards on amateur nights. But for many years, those occasions haven't been heard of. Last week a Fourteenth-at theatre brought back the institution and the resultant cries of joy have led other theatrical men to make plans for doing likewise. The world just will have its heartaches if it can have the thrills that go with them!

Los Angeles Street Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER: ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA of straw bats, we are now having wool parsols on the Avenue, in order further to confuse the seasons. So far, most of those shown are knitted, which leaves one a bit in doubt as to whether they are intended particularly for sun shades or dew protectors. One hundred thousand separate pieces of real estate changed hands in New York City last year, at a total valuation of $2,000,000,000. (Count the clichers.) It was the biggest turnover of real property at the highest valuation ever heard of. New York's most arduous woman war worker has just reached home from the scenes of the battles. It is Miss Edna L. Nicoll. After having served as an ambulance driver so strenuously in the fighting days that she was four times wounded, she decide dto stay over and rest up in post-war reconstruction work in France. Finally after two years of that, she has come home to see how the world is going over here. Miss Nicoll was decorated by Marshal Petain with the croix de guerre at Verdun in 1918. A New York vaudeville agent who never yet has stood too much in awe of genius to try talking business t oft, cabled Gabrielle D'Anunzio a few days ago, asking if he would consider a vaudeville engagement in this country. The reply came to the effect that he would consider anything that added to his experience in life, and asked for further details. The agent's friends had held their breaths at what they called his presumption and they tried to tell him how lucky he is, but he just looked surprised and exclaimed, "Why, the idea!' It'd be a great thing for him. Think of the advertising we could give him." After all a sculptor might do a mob scene. Anything seems possible nowadays. But it is too much of a job to seem convincing to the police. Three of them raided a studio on 22nd street the other night, where they suspected gambling was going on and took 43 men gathered there to the night court on the gambling charge. "Whadyceme gambling?" exclaimed one. "Where dya get that? Why this guy's a sculptor and we all went up there to pose for a mob scene." It is reported that David Belagco is planning to revive Eugene Walter's "The Easiest Way" next season, with Frances Starr, of course, again in the lead. VIGILANTE IDEA IS HIT BY JACKSON Sheriff C. E. Jackson takes exception to the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. J. Whitecomb Brouger, of Los Angeles, who Sunday night aroused his congregation to a pitch of enthusiasm by advocating an armed organization of 3,000 vigilantes to combat the wave of laylessness and crime sweeping over the city. "A quick trial and a good-stout rope," Doctor Brougher said, was "the finest remedy for the criminals and outlaws who have made Los Angeles their winter rendezvous." "We should corral the bunch of robbers, hold-up men, bunko operators, kidnapers, attackers of women, murderers, bootleggers and other of the lawless element who exploit our people, give them a three days' trial and hang the whole bunch who are guilty," he added. Sheriff Jackson says that such a Cypress News Items CYPRESS, Feb. 4.—The Cypress school boys with the aid of some of the Centralia boys succeeded in defeating the strong Los Alamitos school team in a game of baseball on last Friday afternoon.
