It is there- fore not surprising to learn from “The Ringer,” a highly entertaining and successful mystery play now running in London, that when the principal female character shot a man for insulting her in a “low” Seattle dance hall and escaped to Victoria, B. C., on the next boat, the United States was foiled in its at- tempt to extradite her by her mar- riage on board the boat to a British subject, no less a person than the Ringer himself. Any one who has journeyed from Seattle to Victoria will recognize that in so short a trip the Ringer must have exercised a great deal of ingenuity and quick decision in order to make the acquaintance of the lady, propose marriage, be ac- cepted, and find a cler, n, a ring and the usual witn to say noth- ing of first gaining her confidence so that she disclosed her recent guilty past. All ends happily, however, for the average British audience knows as little of America as the average American audience knows of Eng- land, and is therefore inclined to swallow the playwright’s law with his geography. Very few English- men can say offhand whether Min- nesota is in Minneapolis or Minne- apolis in Minnesota, and a reading of Mr. Sinclair Lewis's novels makes them glad of it. Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from page 47) on the alert for something even beyond the fine performance she gave, as if she might suddenly walk on water in one of her numbers. Then there is the play, “Broadway,” about which those who have seen it cannot speak in tranquil tones, yet Sam and I, attending it at great inconvenience and expense, did find it nothing more than diverting enter- tainment, which, to be sure, is more than one does usually get in these days. Lord! I do hope that the fault lie not in me, and that I am not be- coming blasé and sated with what life offers, nor do I think that can be the case when I do still get all a-twitter over a box of popcorn or an unexpected package, and even so commonplace an edible as mushrooms are always a little exciting to me when I come upon them in a sauce.
