...Lovely Lady", the latest Mitzi vehicle to reach Boston where it now graces the boards of the Wilbur Theatre, is a typically hot-house musical comedy product. The first act has as its locale the screen room of the "Royale Hotel" on the Island of Caprice off the Coast of France; the second act is for the most part confined to a boudoir of the same hotel. The motivation of the plot is provided by the refusal of an arbitrary young heiress to marry the foolish Lord Islington. To escape the marriage she persuades the young Prince Paul De Morlaix...
...great climactic chapter of her story, Authoress Lowell told of the burning and sinking of the Minnie A. Caine off the coast of Australia some seven years ago, she swimming three miles to a light-ship with a family of kittens clinging with their claws to her firm flesh. What started last week's uproar was the discovery of the Minnie A. Caine, lying placidly at anchor in Oakland Harbor, Calif. She has been there for the past two years.

S. for "search and seizure" under the 1922 Tariff Act and roughly coextensive with the "one hour's sailing" distance granted under the U. S. ship liquor treaty with Great Britain; 3) the high seas beyond...
...days. That Farrar still sings, however, that she still pursues an active career was proved by last week's account of a season's stewardship. She has covered a 21,000-mile concert tour which began in Manhattan, went through Canadian cities, through Manhattan again to Chicago, the Pacific Coast, back through the South. Often she gave three concerts a week, sometimes two a day. Last week fatigued, she arrived in Manhattan from New Orleans on the S. S. Momus. In May she sails for France...
