POLICE RAID ON NOT FOR CHILDREN
DECISION NOT IN HANDS OF PARENTS. TÀTE
35 Artistes in "Obscene" Play Arrested.
Chicago, Feb. 14. Screams by chorus girls and wild dash towards the exits by some of the occupants of the stalls enlivened the first scene of Ear Carroll's new show "Sketch Book" at the Grand Opera House here last night.
comeily with music, his initial tuneful photoplay, by the way, touches upon about every con- ceivable phase of entertainment. It It treats of domestic discord.
The confusion was due to the has spicy and clever scenes in "milady's" boudoir. It takes you arrival of s atring of police cars, which drew up at the stage door, to a gorgeous masked ball aboard.
and was followed immediately by Zeppelin, and finally brings you to the end of your seats as the the appearance of officers on the airship tears loose from its moor-stage, from the wings, ing mast, and the guests jump for safety in parachutes.
And all of this excitement is conted over by eight musical num- bera and three special ballets. well making "Madam Satan" a rounded eye and ear attraction.
The plot of "Madam" Satan" ja laid entirely amongst the folk of "high society," folk wealthy enough to give and go to parties on Zeppelins, there to be attired as "Henry the Eighth," "Romeo," The Call of the Wild," or "The Spirit of Innocent Pride.". Bob and Angela Brooks are married, but Bob's eyes have strayed bu cause, Angela is a "too perfect

to fight for her love with the weapons other women use provides the reason for the appearance at the "Zep" ball of the voluptuous, exotic, mysterions "Madam Satan." The situation of a man making love to his own wife is not a new one, but it is always attractive, and De Mille invests it with both colour and novelty.
Reginald Denny and Kay John- son are the two principals, and they do splendidly. Both have de lightful voices, and it is certain that there will be disputes as to which of the two had the better song-Denny's "All I Know In That You Are.in My Arms" or Miss Johnson's "Meet Madam" and "Live and Love To-day." Roland Young is delightful as the comle Jimmy, and Lillian Roth does a Ra "the other fine plece of work woman."
"THE COHENS & KELLYS IN AFRICA."
Cannibalism may still be found in Africa, although the practice is not so widely followed as it was a few years ago, according to Peter Shaw, technical adviser for Universal's hilarious comedy, "The Cohens and Kellys in Africa," which comes to the Central Theatre to-day. There are still
tribes which carry on warfare for the sake of obtaining human flesh, Haid Shaw, who has spent several years in the interior of the Durk Continent.

HUNTING.
Mr. Tom Walls, the actor-man- ager, has been in a London nursing home suffering from injuries re- ceived in the hunting field.
He was out near Lewes with the Sussex Slaghounds, of which he is master, when, as it was getting dusk his horse fell while jumping a gate.
Mr. Walls was thrown, and the horse rolled on him.
Although suffering great pain, Mr. Walls insisted on being driven to the Aldwych Theatre, and ac- tually wanted to act his part in "Marry the Girl" that night. He was rushed off to a nursing home, however, where it was discovered that his pelvis was badly injured, so that he will not be able to act for some weeks.
